Insulting.

Rating: 4/10 (2 May 2009)

This movie's biggest crime is that it's boring. It takes what is normally one of the most exciting characters in the Marvel Universe and makes this milquetoast soap opera with sub-Lost level of CGI effects.
Staring at the talent behind the camera and in front of it I have no idea what could have gone so wrong, but I hope rumors of the studio wrestling control from the director are true because this is a blot for all involved.
This movie lives and dies by its script, and it's a truly dreadful script.
It is a patchwork of bad ideas, grating dialog, action movie clichés, unconvincing romance, mishandled fan-service cameos, and downright insulting interpretations of beloved characters.
This film has no respect for its source material. This is one of the worst Marvel films yet.
It also seems convinced Will.I.Am can do something besides look stupid in a cowboy hat and fumble his ridiculous lines. His "character" also borrows his power from a fan-favorite character and doesn't even do it half as well as a movie made five years ago.
I never thought an X-Men related movie could be worse than X-Men 3, but here we are.
