Angel and Beast are cool. The rest of the script blows, for the most part. There is a small part of me that hopes but the rest of me is being prepared to walk out of the theater.
You know, I was really nervous about the first one, but despite Halle Berry's best efforts it and the second one (to a more limited extent) managed to be good movies. I know a lot of that's due to the cast, and some to the writers, but... I just can't see it working as well without Bryan Singer, especially given whom they got to step in.
I was (very) disappointed with the changes to the character of Nightcrawler for #2, though, and I'm scared about what they're going to do to Beast (not the least since "Henry McCoy" (played by some random actor) already made a cameo in X2).
I just... 90+% of what the first two movies delivered was pure fanboy heroin, but the 10% they cut it with gave me the serious shakes. I can't see X3 go anywhere but down, very fast, from even that point.
But I'm with you. Part of me hopes but the rest of me is going to grimly sit through it with every expectation it will be worse than Event Horizon, and that was the worst movie I've ver seen.
Of course, I am predisposed to the hate.
That Woman has tainted the entire franchise for me.
