Plot amazing. Characters not.

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2006)

This movie had all the ingredients to make it extraordinary. But it failed and settled for good. At sometimes it felt rushed. They introduced many new characters and I felt that none of them had any time to develop.
There is a cure for mutants. And they all fight against each other to save the cure. And it turns out the jean has an alter-ego called the Phoenix who is the most powerful mutant;even more powerful then Proffesor X. The people who did get a lot of movie time like Hugh Jackman really stepped up their acting and showed true emotion. With heart-pounding moments and heart-breaking times the plot is amazing.
The plot wasn't what was wrong with the movie the characters were. The advertising made it seem like Angel was going to be a mian character. He had five minutes of screen-time. Thats what happens when marketing goes wrong.
I have no doubt that this movie will be a hit. But I suspect that movie goers will leave the theater feeling that the only go to know a couple of characters instead of the whole cast.
