Decent Movie, but still Disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (30 May 2006)

The reason this movie has made SO much money SO fast is because of the outstanding quality of the second X-Men. I went with 3 friends to see this over the weekend. We pre-ordered tickets in the Premier Theater because this was going to be the BEST movie since LOTR and HARRY POTTER. We all were very disappointed. The movie was choppy, rushed, and void of a certain "reality" that the first 2 had. Rogue's character had a chance at some great scenes, but the chance wasn't taken. It felt as though the movie was made by someone different... it did not seem to have the same principles that the first 2 were based on. Many horrible things happened without good explanation... we were just supposed to accept simple excuses for very large tragedies. There also seemed to be several errors throughout the film. The movie is well worth watching, but I recommend waiting for DVD. There are a few decent displays of power and a few good concepts. Just don't expect it to trump X-Men United.
