X-Men 3 was the first superhero movie that ever made me imagine that I could have superhero powers. When Magneto was throwing cars, it made me wonder what it would be like to do that.
It’s rather surprising that other movies like Spider-Man or Superman didn’t make me imagine what it would be like to have their superpowers. Perhaps X-Men did that, because the premise was so real–that there could be mutants among us. While movies like Superman just seem so stupid. Yeah, like he came from another planet and just happened to look just like us except he’s got like a million super powers. (btw, the trailer for Superman made the movie look really bad. The trailer focused so much on Lex Luthor that the movie should be called “Lex: the wimpiest villain ever.”)
But props to X-Men 3 for providing a very realistic portrayal of how humans with superpowers might exist in society.
The whole X-Men series has been very good. I haven’t seen 3 yet, but I’m sure it’s a keeper. Superhero movies are very tricky. They need to have a good balance of plot and action. Too much plot and you fall asleep waiting for something to explode. Too much action and it’s all superficial like Batman 3 and 4. Is Colossus featured in 3? I sure hope so.
Yes Colossus is featured in 3, however he has a very minor role. AND MAKE SURE YOU STAY AFTER THE CREDITS ARE DONE ROLLING. There is extra footage at the very end.
