I cannot believe this!!!!!AKA I did not like the movie.

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2006)

This movie, as my vote indicates, was absolutely awful. I cannot believe they would go this way with the story. I cannot recall much of this new storyline in any of the parts of the show or the comics that I have seen, heard of, or otherwise have in any way experienced. It very much seems like they were trying way, way, way too hard to make this movie different from most anything in the X-men world whatsoever. There did seem to be some times where they tried to be traditional, but over all, there seemed to be only one scene that was in anyway resembling traditional X-men style. I may be a little old fashioned, but all in all, I was just flat out excited about this movie, but I left being excited about telling all of my friends how I couldn't believe what they had done. Granted, if this movie is gearing up for another X-men movie with some kind of futuristic storyline spin-off where the third movie turns out to be one of those crazy alternate realities that cable or bishop lives in, then I guess it could redeem itself slightly, but don't use the whole third movie for that. I must agree with many of the comments that I have already read as well that state that many of the characters were unjustly tampered with. I feel for all of you out there that share my enthusiasm for this movie, and I am envious of all those that actually could enjoy this movie. To close, I want to have a few words with Stan Lee.
