What Happened

Rating: 4/10 (29 May 2006)

After seeing X-men and X-men 2 i was very excited to see X-men 3 "the last stand" because the first 2 were some of my favorite movies. So i caught a midnight showing the night before it was coming out. In front of a sold out house filled with X-men fans the movie tanked.
The first problem is Brent Rather(the new director b/c Bryan Singer is doing Superman) has no clue what he is doing. The script was weak and corny, there was almost no new character development and they focus way to much on Jean Grey. Another problem is they kill off Pro.X half way into they movie and they kill off Cyclops within they first 20 minutes. They also take away one of the fans favorite villains in Mystique when she is shot my the "mutant cure". What they need to do is get Bryan Singer back for X4, make the movie 20- 30 minutes longer so they can develop the new characters, and get a better script. The one good thing about this movie is the special effects were mesmerizing and the fight scene at the end is very enjoyable.
