I'll probably get this b/c I'm a sucker, but I don't want to think that it "completes the trilogy" since we're not sure there WON'T be another film. Regardless, I'll pick it up at the right price.

I grew up reading the X-Men comics and I am a huge fan of X-Men/X2, and I got to say that X3 was great. They changed stuff from the comics, which alot of people are bitching about (and as a comic geek I understand) but its a movie, things HAVE to change!!! While X2 is the best of the series, I felt the 3rd one was a good sequal, and did the series justice. While X3 could off been better, it could of been hell of ALOT worse!!! Just my 2 cents.

Liked the movie, will buy the disc. Better than the first, not as good as the second, but nowhere near as bad as some of the online pundits say either IMHO.

I'll buy it. Hopefully Fox will give it a 2-disc right off the bat. I'm praying Fox will start releasing 1 & 2-disc versions at the same time,instead of of 1-disc and months later a 2-disc.

I'll be buying this too but I am worried about which format - do I get it now on DVD or potentially end up rebuying it on HD-DVD or Blue Ray down the road? Sigh.

NO! if they do that then we will be paying $10 or more for the 2disc version. I can wait just like I did for AvP, Elektra and Mr. & Mrs Smith and can pay around the same price as the bare bones version.

I just bought SMITH unrated 2DVD for $13 at Frys. The 2 version way on release day would have cost me $25 or so.

I thought it was the 3rd best . I liked it well enough and I'll be buying it.

T3 IMO
Return of the Jedi (until they made the prequels, anyway), Scream, the list goes on and on.

Yeah, I spent $16, Myself and my wife. My wife whose Knowledge of the x-men is 2comics I showed her, and the 2movies....thought their was too much cramed into one movie. For a movie that was 100 minutes, they just had too much stuff going on and didn't reach a suitable last half-ending to the movie.
I loved the first 2 even as a fan of the comics, I liked what vision Brian Singer brought to the movies. X3 was just a letdown. Sorry about the rant.

Back on topic. I'm glad there are fans of this movie. Maybe it will introduce them to the comics.

T3
While I may be in the minority, I thought Terminator 3 was much better than it had any right to be. I'd even go as far as to say it's as good as the original, if not a little better. There were flaws, for sure, though. But I definitely liked the ending.

Now, as for, X3... well, the whole rule that the third movie in a superhero franchise is where things start to suck... doesn't end with this one. The first is really good, the second is great, and this one was just... bleh. But honestly, I watched it a second time, and it's not as bad the second time around. I have a feeling it'll grow on me, so I'll pick up the DVD eventually. I'm a completist anyway.

Looks like another blind buy for me. If it is remotely entertaining as the first two, I can't imagine not enjoying it.

This is lame! No 2disc w/ the Ratner documentary, and not even DTS. Will wait for the 2 disc.

$40 bones for a single disc DVD w/o DTS and a comic book? There's gotta be more to it than that ... right?

That is weird 'cause FOX is known for having DTS [on the big movies] on the first release and also the double dip. Last time I remember it wasn't [no DTS] on was the first XMEN DVD and that was way before the norm on double dips.

I haven't watched this movie so I was looking forward to the DVD release but I'm disappointed that it has no DTS track.

Yes, it was that bad. The first film is much, much better than the third movie.

probably will get the standard edition. I'm not going to bother with the triology set since I already have the first two movies and I'm pretty sure that there will be an X4.
