Bryan Singer must be so disappointed.

Rating: 4/10 (24 May 2006)

This movie was the most disappointing movie I have seen in a long time. So many short-cuts were taken, that a real storyline was completely lacking.
I was looking forward to bringing in the new characters, but what they did with the old ones was just plain wrong. I know Halle Barry wouldn't work on the movie unless she took more of a starring role, and the movie suffered with her weak character taking up too much screen time. Famke Jansen is a good actress and she was just there to angrily pout the whole time like in a child in a horror movie.
The music was cheesy and awful and distracting. The effects were cool - very cool. Again though, the lack of writing detracts from effects. At one point Magneto throws cars into the air from a bridge and Pyro lights them up. Very cool indeed. The next time they show the bridge the cars are all there. I hope this was the last X-men movie, because to me, it is completely ruined by the lack of presence by the Bryan Singer. Why they didn't wait for him to finish Superman I'll never know.
