Sorry to break this to you, but there is a strong internet rumor of a Wolverine and/or Magneto movie in the works. 
Oh, and the DTS-ES track is one of the best ever IMO.

X-Men 3: The Last Straw...I mean, Stand
This may very well be the worst sequel of all time to follow in the footsteps of the most disappointing series of all time. Why did they even call these movies "X-Men"? What was the point?
What we should have gotten was a dynamic and fulfilling look at some of the most diverse and fascinating characters ever created. What we got was Wolverine Saves the Day, I, II, and III. Whoopie. A guy with big fingernails and a puny brain defeats everyone yet again. Thanks. Been there, done that 2 times too many already.
Oooh, Halle Barry with a new hairdo. Yay. Lots and lots of mutants with about 10 special powers total; Porquipine Guy, Speed Girl, Helmet Head, Angel Boy, MetalHead Mario, Invisi-Girl, and, ummm....who cares? Anyone that had anything good or original has been written out or killed off to make room for "The Human BackScratcher" and his cool sideburns. Sad.
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) Spoiler
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) And let's not forget about "The Firey Bird". Level 5! Whoo-hoo! Look out, she gets horny and destroys everything in her path. Tell me again how someone that creates a small anti-matter/fire storm is more powerful than someone that can kill every mutant or human on the planet with just a thought? Get real. Oh, and she's more than willing to kill her husband, but "Scratchy" gives her the puppy-dog eyes and she melts like butter? Yeah, that's the ticket.
I will give the movie props for SQ. Hooray! You can hear in detail every inane and vomitous word in all its ridiculous glory. Too bad the PQ is so distracting you forget this is a new DVD and not a VHS copy from the library that's been watched 10,000 times. Soft is good for blankets, not films.
But wait...there's more! For only $17.99, and if you buy in the next 20 minutes, we'll throw in, absolutely free, 10 "ultimate endings"! See such dramatic changes as Storm's hair being 1/2" shorter! Watch in amazement as "Nails" drinks a beer! Prepare to be shocked by glove-wearing! Catch your breath as you witness 1.3 second of extra film! Call now, don't delay!
Thankfully, it's all over. I would only watch X-Men 4: Meg, the Wolverine Dies While Picking Nose, if Seth MacFarlane was given the rights to write and direct the film. Long live the Super Griffens! Giggity-Giggity-Gone!

The chances of X-Men 3 being good was about the same as seeing a post from spyder696969 that has a positive vibe.

That's good to know at least, but the movie doesn't get a pass.

Very funny read. I have to agree with you on this one. X-Men 1 was good. However X-men 2 and 3 really should have gone in totally different directions. I have to say Superman Returns and X-Men 3 have to be the worst overall superhero films of all time.. I wonder who directed them.. hmm..maybe they should get a new director...

Wow, I thought X-men 1 was mediocre, 2 was phenomenal, and 3 was cheesy, but had some decent action.
And Singer only directed the first two X-men films, the third DID have a new director.
P.S. - Daredevil and Blade: Trinity see your "worst superhero film of all-time" nod and raise you a hundred.

I have to admit Spyder, this trilogy was a little too Wolverine heavy (and I say this in spite of being a Wolverine fan as a kid).
However, I have to disagree on HJ's acting abilities.
IMO he is one of the best of his generation.
WAIT WAIT!!!
OK, I just sealed the door to my bomb-shelter.

HJ isn't that bad, it's just that he pales in contrast to Patrick Stewart...just like nearly evryone else on the planet.
