If you know x-men you will not want to see this movie

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2011)

First if you don't know jack about x-men except for the movies that came out. You might like this movie. IF you know anything about the x-men at all then you will hate this movie.
First lets go over the list of the original X-Men. Professor X: Check Cyclops: nope Jean Grey: nope Beast: Check Angel: Nope Iceman: Nope
Seeing how this is supposed to be the beginning to the movies it's half understandable not to have them in there as they appear later on in the movies that have already come out. However i have issues with the characters they did choose.
Magneto: never was an xman yet here he is. Mystique: also never an xman and is also the mother of Nightcrawler. Banshee: Finally someone who was an x-man at some point. He was never a kid when he was with the x-men and also he is from Ireland. No accent in the movie. Beast: Ah, here we have an original x-man. But what's this his mutation is big hand feet until he tries to cure himself? That's stupid. Also this does not even follow the movies where it shows him on t.v. as a normal person not yet transformed to the blue beast we know and love. However, the actor portraying him did a good job so i accept this change for the movie, if only that was the only thing the messed up. Angel: What's this? You said Angel wasn't in the movie! HE ISN'T! Instead some girl with insect wings who shoots crappy like puff balls out of her mouth is here and she calls herself angel cuz that was her stripper name. When she called herself angel i almost walked out of the movie theater. Havok: Cyclops' little brother.... as a teenager in the early 60's which pretty much makes him old enough to be cyclops father according to the xmen movie time line. Isn't this movie supposed to preclude the previous xmen movies??? Inconsistencies with the comic is one thing but with your own movies? Come on you can do better. Professor X: didn't mind how they portrayed him. Darwin: Who? The black guy who they killed off pretty quick.
Also many inconsistencies with other characters i won't go in to.
All in all this movie is a spit in the face to people who are x-men fans. Good action and good special effects don't make up for that fact.
