Okay. Here's my review of X3. The first section is going to be kinda general. And I'll spoiler the second section with specifics.
I liked the movie as a whole. But it wasn't near the caliber of the first two. The plot, as given away by the comercials, is that a drug company uses a mutant that drains powers as a source for a 'cure' to mutants; the classic X-Men plot of mutant hatred verses Magneto. Wolverine is the true main character in this movie. With Storm seemingly second. And then (in order) Jean Grey, Magneto, Prof. X, Bobby, Beast, Kitty, Rogue, Pyro, Juggernaut, and then a HUGE number of others. So many, in fact, that none of the characters had enough focus or time to give them life and development. The action sequences were interesting. And some of the visuals were amazing. But no real substance.

In short: I liked it, but not as much as the first two. Visuals and special effects tried to be cool, but weren't as good as the first two. Fights weren't as fun. And most of all, they needed to develop the characters more. It felt a lot like the last game of a peewee football game, "Let's see, who haven't we used yet, how many can we put in? Are you sure we can't fit in Longshot? What about the Blob?"
