xmen franchise left in ruins. thanks bret ratner!

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2006)

ill make this brief, i loved the first xmen ,x2 was a joy ,x3 is unfortunately the biggest turkey this year! From ludicrous characterizations ,bad script ,no real plot to think of ,and don't get me started on the ending. this movie is very incoherent ,its as if this ratner guy never even heard of the xmen let alone seen the first 2 movies. vinnie jones's juggernaut is laughable ,he looks stupid like he has a tin foil nipple on his head ,and beast just looks down right comical. the effects are so so ,and the fact that you probably wont recognize the new characters (i think ratner just made some up) wont help win you over. i actually wanted to leave the cinema at 1 point. During what i presume was to be the films highlight on the golden gate bridge ,magneto uses his power to bend the bridge so his mutant army can attack the Alcatraz facility. this scene is one of the most pathetic demonstrations of special effects I've seen in a while. the effect itself is not so bad but the premise is cringe worthy.
overall its safe to say there will be no more xmen after this monstrosity ,even if ratner has left it open for more . you might notice i haven't mentioned phoenix ,thats because shes barely in the film ,and has no real impact on the movie ,the plot skips around her she kills cyclops ,xavier , a couple of nobodies and thats pretty much it. sorry x fans this ones not for you!!!
