Sequelitis

So. X3 looks to be a Rattnerfied bummer. That positive review was fanboy fakage, and now the word is dismal. Just this weekend, someone told me that he thought comic book movies may have reached a turning point, and that the halcyon days of high quality adaptations—at least on the major releases—were over. Hollywood may bill itself as the dream factory, but around this time of year, it’s more likely to dash my hopes than fulfill them.
