I bought these movies for my husbands birthday. I thought that they were just going to be cartoon characters. Wow was I wrong. I loved these movies!

Saw movie last night... spectacular presentation. Fight scenes are amazing, especially final battle. Personally I liked it more than first two installments. Great plot in my opinion; excellent way to end trilogy. Saw in blu-ray... yummy.

They recently discovered a family of people whose genes keep them from having heart disease.
People who bleed or have cleft palettes are well known from inbreeding as recessive genes.
There are bald people, blue eyes and red hair and other strange variations
in complexion and even size, but what is the closest to a beneficial mutation?
That evolution hasn't stopped is well known, but it usually takes things like ice ages
for the results to become apparent.
A war between types of humans has been found in the archaeological record
between Neanderthal and anatomically modern humans from about 40000 bc to 20000 bc.
What made the superficially weaker humans able to survive when
the stronger Neanderthals couldn't?
The X-men comics have always attracted the social misfits and geeks among us
who think that ordinary people mistreat them.
A lot of the misfits end up in prison because they use violence as a means to fight back.
Those misfits who only want to live peacefully and try to get along
aren't always very successful.
This movie about all out war might be the future when global warming
makes pressure on our current population and forces those who have abilities
to actually use them to survive.
Until then the misfits or mutants try to blend in?
So much for movie special effects and fantasy...

Without sounding like a blithering idiot, I will have to admit that I am a recent convert to the "X-Men" and really enjoyed being able to go back to the beginning of the series without any trouble. I truly plan on adding this to my Christmas list of things to give to friends and will be ordering more copies. Really need to have this box set if you're even going to remotely enjoy Wolverine.

Although, lets be honest, it couldn't have been any worse now, could it?
But let's not focus on the negative.
Here's why it's a better film:
- It has a better plot
- It actually puts the mutants through some pain for a change (after two films of seeing them dance rings around humanity, they, like the characters from the truly awful The Complete Matrix Trilogy (The Matrix/ The Matrix Reloaded/ The Matrix Revolutions) [HD DVD], never really seemed to be in any great peril. Not so with this film. A weapon that can definitively rob them of their mutant natures levels the playing field).
- It injects some moral ambiguity into the plot; you can tell that Ian McKellen (himself a legendary gay activist in the UK) relishes the chance to explore the concept of a cure for a condition (read 'orientation') that can mold one's identity whilst simultaneously making them a societal outcast in some quarters. Kudos to McKellen's performance - I actually found myself rooting for Magneto's brotherwood to prevail.
Brett Ratner clearly feels less affection for the characters than Bryan Singer and in this case, that's no bad thing. I don't mind a director loving his characters as long he's not prepared to let that get in the way of the plot - something that Singer always did. I'll be honest, I wrote off the X-Men films after seeing the first two, but this one actually caused me to go out and hire X-Men Origins: Wolverine the night after I saw this on television.
Also major props to Ellen Page. She really is a talented young thing.
Its not the greatest film ever made, but it is a road-sign to better things.
Now can we have some proper "Sentinels" in number four, please?
