Bureau du Cinema: Sharpening my claws

I saw the third installment of X-Men and I am in total agreement with the vast majority of America: The movie was good, but not as good as it could have been. I was also struck by the realization that the director, one Mr. Ratner, should not be let near a comic book movie for the remainder of his career.

There were MANY stale moments and the character development and thinly veiled allusions to social subcultures that made the first two films so totally engaging was very noticably absent. Instead there was a lot of digital effects stocked action sequences and character introduction. Every fan should see it, but don’t expect to be thrilled — at least until after the last credit rolls.And here is the rest of it.
