Disappointment - only worthy of DVD rental

Rating: 6/10 (30 May 2006)

Being a X-men comic fan, I still enjoyed the first two movies even though the characters and story lines did not mirror the comics. However, this third installment of the X-men was just a disappointment and you could definitely tell that director Ratner did not get the job done as well as Singer. The story was no good and the new characters weren't developed properly, even their powers were off. Having to follow Singer's direction was definitely tough but with this screenplay I feel sorry for Ratner. Almost seems like this movie was made for a quick buck...
The 6 rating is for the special effects but even still this movie is only a DVD rental. Very sad to see, but this last installment of the X-men felt cheesy and rushed much like the first round of Batman movies.
