Well, the newest X-Men movie is out. Last night I hosted a small get-together I liked to call the X-Travaganza. It was just a little potluck, then we watched the first two movies before we went to the third. It was funny: I was cautioning everyone to get their tickets early, but it really wasn't that full.
And I can see why.
This movie was disappointing. It lacked the spark, the storytelling, and the character development of the first two movies. I won't give away anything, but it was somewhat mediocre. It wasn't awful, but it could have been much better. Of course, that won't stop me from owning the movie one day, and it won't stop me from having another X-Travaganza in a couple weeks, either. I'll drink less, though.
In other movie news, it appears the Da Vinci Code film is getting some stinker reviews, too. It doesn't surprise me. I thought the book had an interesting idea but was poorly written. It sounds like the film probably does the same thing. I don't think I'll see it in the theater. Netflix, maybe.
