The worst X-men movie

Rating: 3/10 (10 June 2020)

This is the first negative review that I'm going to post here. I know nobody cares about this movie anymore but if you're reading thus then please hear me out.
For me this has been the single most disappointing movie of all time. I grew up watching the original two x-men movies and have been tremendously excited for this one after the ending of X2, which to this day is my favorite non-MCU marvel film. So image my disbelief when this movie came out. Now at the time I was not aware that a new director was behind this so I came in extremely optimistic. The sequence at the beginning was actually interesting and made me think that I was in for a great experience. But after that, all that got lost. And by the time they basically killed iff or depowered basically all of my favorite characters, I gave up trying to find something to like.
Possibly the only positive thing thing I can say about this movie is that the original cast is still great and the special effects might look better than in some of the newer entries to the franchise.
Besides that there is nothing. I actually never understood why someone would call this movie good or even fun. For one, the plot is all over the place and kind of just goes wherever the script says to go without anything feeling natural. The two main storylines have little to no connection with each other. The Phoenix storyline is so forced and boring that I was actually falling asleep.
Besides the story, the characters act completely illogically and become totally unlikable. Professor X starts acting like an a**hole towards everyone, Magneto starts behaving like an a**hole, which is unfortunate for such a sympathetic character, and Wolverine's love for Jean doesn't feel like a natural progression from the first movie, which makes him killing her in the end not as powerful as it could have been. There are also characters that I would have love to seen properly develop from the events of X2, but are lazily killed or depowered without a brief moment for us to feel emotional. Possibly the worst offenders are Cyclops and Mystique, whose relationship with Magneto could have gone a lot if interesting places, but Magneto leaves her he like he us the world's largest .
So please, if you agree with me, give this review a like so that I know that there are other people for who this has been the disappointment of their lives.
