I don't disagree with you. There are some rough spots in this movie that X-Men and X2 were able to avoid easier. But I still think the good far outweighs the bad.
The film never has a boring moment, there's always something going on and with so many character arcs and sub-plots rocketing from every direction I felt it flowed very well from one moment to the next. The characters were very well fleshed out and, for the majority of the movie, the dialogue was fairly solid. Hell, the shoddy dialogue in X-Men didn't keep it from being great. (Toad. Lightning.)
But I will agree that these (minor) flaws keep it from hitting what X2 was.
And I'd still rather see a proper sequel to X2 than this. They've confused enough people this far with things that contradict Wolverine and X3, might as well embrace it.
