Must see, but don't expect too much

Rating: 6/10 (31 May 2006)

Overall, this movie is very action packed and great with graphics. However, it is lacking. It's lacking in character development and overall story plot-line.
Rogue, she's been there through it all, but you only see her in the beginning and briefly at the end. Her story had a lot they could have done more with, such as her boyfriend acting very close to Kitty Pryde, the cure, and the battles. Warren Worthington III/Angel, i understand why he was there, but why wasn't he used more? You see him as a kid, then nearly getting the cure, going to the "school", and saving his father. that's really it. no character development to really get attached to him. Other plot-line problems include the vagueness of Jean/Pheonix and the sudden deaths of main characters right off in the beginning. The storyline had a lot of potential, and they just didn't use all of it.
I do still think this movie is a must see, though I must forewarn you not to have high expectations. And also, stick around for after the credits, there is a must see scene that HOPEFULLY means more x men!
