X3: The Last Stand
Though he thoroughly enjoyed Hugh Jackman's role as Wolverine, acclaimed actor and director Taylor Chadwick hated "X3: The Last Stand", which hit theatres last week.
"I didn't like the director, the writing, all of the storm shit was ridiculously stupid. I agree, there will be no more x men movies."
Taylor is a well known movie critic in his hometown of Red Deer, AB where he currently works while aspiring in the theatre business.
"I was thoroughly disappointed"
His screenplay success has been shown in various drama festivals-- his one act play "It's Hell!" premeired last August in the Nickle Studio which recieved rave reviews.
"I felt that the script was low class and deviated from the original x-men stories in a hopeless attempt to give the story a moral feeling and emotional leeway with the audience. Brett Ratner is one of the worst directors alive to day."
His view is shared by many moviegoers, who rate the film collectively on Cinemaclock.com at a mere 7.4/10.
"Shit. Just pure shit."
Although I enjoyed this movie immensely, Taylor Chadwick wouldn't bet on a fourth film, despite the weekend box office success which net $102,000,000 on its opening weekend, and currently has made $107,000,000 in total revenue [as of May 28th].
Yahoo.Com reports that "On the all-time list, "X-Men: The Last Stand" ranks behind only "Spider-Man," "Star Wars: Episode III" and "Shrek 2" for opening weekend gross. None of the other films opened on a holiday weekend, which usually gives movies a boost.For Memorial Day openers, "X-Men" crushed the previous three-day high of $72 million, set by "The Lost World: Jurassic Park" in 1997.

"Brett Ratner ruined one of the most hopeful movie franchises in film history. It's too bad Bryan Singer (director of X2-one of the best super hero movies of current) is directing Superman next.... Oh wait that's not bad because Bryan Singer is skilled and Brett Ratner is a piece of shit."

Taylor has a few issues.
I simply viewed this movie as a chance to see a couple more mutants on the big screen.
Let's say that they do decide to cash in on further x-men movies (a la batman post burton and pre nolan) they will probably lose at least a few of their actors... but also what story lines could they possibly do next? They already threw away the pheonix saga, nightcrawler, they squandered key elements in a full wolverine story line... the things left over are the marvel-ridiculous space stories where scotts parents happened to be alien abducted mutants and Charles is somehow living on another planet post-death with his psychic soul-mate Lilandra... or maybe the very comic-book-y sentinal war alluded to in the danger room sequence.
Of course they could come up with something seemingly innovative. Though I'm sure that fans are praying that they decide not to.
The screenplay was very convoluted with small snippets of about twenty different stories so everything about the film felt spastic and erratic.
I had faith in the phoenix saga and now it's gone. And now I have lost faith in EVERYTHING.
