But if they do make the Wolverine (and other) spin-offs then maybe we'll get a return to good films. And such a pity given that the first two were so good.

I have a feeling that when I finally get around to watching it on DVD that I will actually like it less than I thought I did on first viewing. I may be wrong but I have a feeling that it is going to turn out that way. I know exactly what you mean.

I mean had it not been an X-Men film I may have expected less and so liked it more, you know what I mean? Carl, I am kinds rethinking how negative this review is.

It was okay, not great...not X2, but the second movies of trilogies are almost without exception the best.

And a while back Ross had Jackman & Berry on, and it there will be a Wolverine film.

It felt like such a mish mash of characters and stuff going on that I just felt it was thrown together in a hurry because the public wanted another X-Men movie. And because they knew that even if it sucked, people were still going to see it. Did you stay through the credits to see the extra scene? That, plus the ending with Magneto just screamed "SEQUEL!!!" If there's an X-Men 4, I'll be going to see it, but damn, I hope it's better than this one. I completely agree.

Especially about the clunky dialogue. But then again, I didn't think the first two were much cop either. I gave it a good review but in retrospect I think you’re probably right.
