Trivia:
This is the first film in the series to feature the original line-up of the X-Men from the comics: Professor X, Cyclops, Jean Grey (though originally as Marvel Girl, not Phoenix), Iceman, Beast (Dr. Hank McCoy, though the character briefly appeared on TV in the second film sans blue fur), and Angel (Warren Worthington III). Most of the rest of the major characters joined the team in Giant-Size X-Men #1, almost a hundred issues later: Storm, Wolverine (though he had previously appeared in two Hulk comics), Colossus, and Nightcrawler (along with Banshee, Thunderbird, and Sunfire who do not appear in the movie, though Banshee's daughter Siryn makes a cameo in the second film). Kitty Pryde joined the team after the "Dark Phoenix Saga". Rogue would not appear until a few years later, and then it was as a member of Mystique's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, which also included Pyro, Blob, Avalanche and Destiny. more
Goofs:
Plot holes: In the final confrontation between Magneto's forces and the X-men, we see scores of angry mutants arrayed against a scant security force and only a handful of X-Men. Magneto has the ability to reduce the opposing "good" mutant numbers very easily yet doesn't do so. As Magneto's "pawns" are battling the defense force to get into the compound of the pharmaceutical company, Magneto himself stands on the remnants of the bridge watching the carnage. Though Magneto has the ability to control metal and manipulate magnetic fields, and Colossus, who in his mutant state is entirely metal, and Wolverine, who's body is laced with Adamantium structurally reinforcing his entire skeleton, are well within his power to control, he doesn't seize this opportunity to reduce the X-mens forces by a full third. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Eric Lensherr: I still don't know why *I'm* here. Couldn't you just make them say yes?
Prof. Charles Xavier: Yes, I could, but it's not my way. And I would expect you, of all people would understand my feelings about the misuse of power.
Eric Lensherr: Ah, "power corrupts" and all that. Yes, I know, Charles. When are you going to stop lecturing me?
Prof. Charles Xavier: When you start listening. And you're here because I need you.

Director ruined movie, 10 lokakuu 2006
6/10
Author: CAL FORD from California

X1 and X2 were different movies then X3. X3 has a new director who apparently could care less about the quality of the show or its characters but instead cares about the $$$. All aspects of X3 were rushed and poorly thought out. You could even see in the faces of the actors the uncomfortable sense of "hurry and up get the movie over".

The only reason it received a good rating from Users is the momentum from the first two movies, on its own X3 would be a failure. It is obvious X3 was a sell out and a lead in to more $$$ in 2007's Wolverine. Why why why did the director change! Sad to see a great series die off.
