X-men III

The big media fuss about X-men III was the disappearance of Bryan Singer from the director's chair. In this episode of the X-men movie series, characters were highly expendable. One after another, on both ends of the camps, characters we liked were gone one by one.

Losing Jean in the sequel was a big pain. Losing Jean/ Phoenix and all the fine others in this chapter and possibly from the franchise altogether was an unnecessary overkill.

To me, the major differences between this movie and the previous two were: instead of building the characters and their stories and burying leads for the future development of the plot, it cashed in by putting an end to mostly everything that left hanging. It felt like removing that old B&W TV from your summer resort you visited every year if you know what I mean.

X-men movies were always about indifferences. About discriminations. May it be on the topics of mutants, homosexuality, racism, communism, terrorism. It's about people whose trying to change others because they are not the same. People who idealize their own beliefs and discard the existence of others. Is this liberty? Like it or not some people is knocking at your door and liberates your family. To give you the cure because you are not normal. While you are waiting for your damaged home to be rebuild as a results of freedom, I will take some of the underground black gold from your backyard and you can buy as many hamburgers and Cola from the Walmart I just built at your neighbors' lot for your convenience.
