Worse than expected

Rating: 5/10 (3 July 2006)

X-1 and X-2 were excellent movies and far better than expected, raising great hopes for the third part. Unfortunately, the producers have clearly run out of ideas and have settled for a film with a bunch of special effects, a crappy plot and failed attempts at shocks and twists by killing off every major character in the lamest fashion. It may entertain you but a fan is going to be majorly disappointed.

A lot of main characters including Juggernaut (isnt he supposed to be Xavier's brother or something) have been reduced to sidey losers. Character powers have been shuffled.

Angel is completely pointless for the most part. Too many new half-grade mutants are introduced.

Jean goes mad for some stupid reason

Nightcrawler and other interesting characters from part 2 have completely disappeared.

Everybody dies. Magneto and Wolverine live. The last stand indeed.

Heck, even X-Men Evolution is way way better than this.
