Average in so many ways

Rating: 6/10 (3 June 2006)

OK, I saw this movie today in the cinema and it was just plain poor. But I'll begin with the positives.
Visually, it was great. Some amazing CGI in there and it just looked fantastic.
And now on to the negatives. First of all, the dialog is Appalling. Some absolutely shocking lines in there that bordered on humorous. They should have the script-writer fired and to be told to give up as the lines that were supposed to be epic and dramatic were just plain clichéd at best.
The storyline is ridiculous, again, it's as if they put as little thought into the storyline as they did the dialog. It is apparent that both "baddies" and "goodies" were fighting for the same thing, but of course the "baddies" were doing it for all the wrong reasons.
The cast was filled with good actors fully capable of the roles they were put into, yet the poorness of the movie made there characters kind of boring and lifeless.
However, I will say this, X-Men fans will probably love it. It captures all the magic of comic books and I suppose it does make for a decent sequel if you liked the first two. I just personally think it not only DIDN'T match up to various other superhero movies, but it also didn't live up to its own potential.
Just average.
