Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (13 October 2006)

Really a disappointing ending to a very promising series. The first movie got things off to a reasonably good start. The second was *very* good, showing that mutants/bad guys could actually think and behave intelligently. The third was... meh... kinda a waste of time. The character deaths were pointless and did little if anything to advance the plot. The addition of Dark Phoenix did little if anything to advance the plot. And the mutants no longer behaved as intelligently as they had. Where was Nightcrawler, BTW? Disappointing. Other questions: What in the world did Angel add to this movie? IMO -- nothing. Was there really a reason to depart so far from the comic storyline? IMO -- NOOOO!!!
