Unexpectedly Good Action Flicks

This would have five stars if they had reigned in the action sequences. (A little too destructive - good thing Bruce Wayne is a millionaire, the city's going to need his money to rebuild everything he destroyed! - and a little too long.) I really enjoyed the film, particularly the excellent acting. I've been told I would think it was even better if I had seen how bad the first three Batman movies are...

Surprisingly good. I don't usually go for this kind of movie, but I liked it.

The action sequence that opens this movie is truly spectacular. Too bad I'm not more of an action fan! I wanted a bit more dialogue at the beginning of the movie to make me invested in why the action was happening. I shouldn't have to wait half an hour to get context! But much of the dialogue, when it did happen, was clever, and all of the acting was quite good. I was surprised that I wasn't more on-edge throughout; I think I never really became attached to the characters. But that didn't stop me from enjoying the fun!

A beautiful film - I was mesmerized by it, visually. The outcome is predictable, and the propaganda hard to swallow at times, but that doesn't stop this from being a gorgeous movie.

Definitely kept me engaged throughout (sometimes to the point of stress - I'm not good with suspense), but towards the end I was just tired of the violence and wanted the conclusion to come. I think I would have enjoyed it more had the movie trended more towards sci-fi and away from action. Still, beautifully constructed world and fun, snappy dialogue.

Despite some truly terrible dialogue ("This IS a safe place for mutants!"), X-3 is a lot of fun. Great special effects make up for what's lacking in the plot and believability.

Although it's not as beautiful as Hero, it has some great visual moments, well worth watching. I only wish it didn't devolve at the end...
