Like burning the Mona Lisa

Rating: 1/10 (27 May 2006)

Cyclops dies in the first ten minutes. They kill Xavier. They chastise Magneto. Kittie beats the Juggernaut(whom is now a mutant somehow). The only thing Colossus does is throw Wolverine. Angel does nothing. Wolverine and Jean are the only characters that get any real face time. Oh yeah they make Logan cry like a bitch. All other spaces in the movie are filled with melodrama. I miss Bryan Singer. Excuse me while I go try to find my soul, because this movie ripped it out. This is why trilogies suck. I went in with so much hope for this movie. As a movie it was good but it felt off when compared to the source material. If they were just gonna make a Wolverine then they should have done so. It seemed like the only X-men they focused on were Wolverine and Jean Grey. Lets not forget about Cyclops dying. Nobody on the team seemed to care. The only time when anyone cared is after Jean dies and you see his headstone at the end. They even have the Xavier's funeral without even saying anything about his death. As said earlier if you like movies with death and pretty fx it's alright. If you are truly an x-men fan in any respect you will never see this movie. Oh yeah and after the credits they show Xavier come back from the dead in the body of some comatose guy they were talking about earlier in the film. It's 30 seconds of wasted film.
