I can't believe what I'm seeing.

Rating: 2/10 (30 June 2011)

The title is referring not to the film, but to the IMDb rating, which USUALLY i trust when going to see films in the cinema. Now I will never trust this rating alone again. Yes I know that recent films get distorted ratings but this is taking the biscuit.
I'm struggling to picture the people who have rated this highly... perhaps overweight Marvel comic nerds, or 12 year old kids, or both, all gagging for the next X-men where all they want to see is an array of superpowers (sorry to ruin it but this is pretty much the plot of the movie.. introducing new characters and their powers.. fun for 2.5 hours if you're about 10)
To put this into perspective, I'm a 22 year old student from England who quite liked the first X-men movies and, in general, LOVE the top 250 on IMDb. If this list wants to retain any respect whatsoever, this film MUST go. Somehow. Just delete it from your records, please, like it never existed. I saw it with a group of maybe 30 other students. I think 3 or 4 people didn't hate it. The rest of us spent the following hour in McDonalds taking the mickey out of some of the more cringe worthy lines, poorly acted scenes, ridiculous plot, oh the list went on. Actually if you're looking for a great laugh after the film, then this is perfect.
Oh and this is my first ever review. Purely because I like IMDb ratings, but this one is SO off the mark it's a joke. Peace
