WFiB: 3 vs. 3 Marvel movies

[sps1000]

This may technically be a lesser of two evils as both of these films are the weakest of the trilogies so here we go:

Spider-Man 3
vs.
X-Men 3

I say Spiderman 3 is better. No competition. X-Men 3 was awful. It felt beyond disjointed from the trilogy, Pheonix doesn't do anything but stand and stare at people emotionlessly, make out 2 or 3 times, and not enough blowing sh*t up! ;D

The acting was weaker, less funny, less action, more vandetta sidestory, Angel got 5 minutes of useless screen time and no more, Night Stalker was cut, and a million other things to anger me.

Spiderman 3, while lacking a thing or two, was still a perfectly enjoyable movie. Once again, less action than the others, but the story-time that replaces it is interesting and hilarious! Sure it got weird, but turn off the hate-mood that people tend to have, and its not bad at all.

Of course, the lack of Venom time peeved everyone off, me included, and that was more points docked from Spiderman 3. But once again, the fact is, it was still a fun, enjoyable, interesting, cool movie. X-Men 3, I could barely pay attention to.

I'm not blaming X-Men 3 for its cruddiness. I know the whole thing, where Fox didn't want to do this one when Singer was ready, didn't want to wait 6-12 months when he wasn't ready, got some guy to direct who then ditched it, then they got that other director to try and save it in time for release. I forget that latter director's name, and I'll give him that he did a good job for the crappy patchwork he had to work with.

But the fact is, it was cruddy. I did not get absorbed at all, and I'm good at getting absorbed; all the while, I knew I was watching a movie, rather than experiancing X-Men.

But thast just me.

You mean Brett Ratner?
