New director destroyed the chance for a great trilogy.

Rating: 6/10 (30 May 2006)

First of all - this new director blew it. Not only did he manage to kill off a number of decent characters in horribly lame ways, but he also destroyed some of the most interesting stories within the X-men saga. The way he portrayed Phoenix - lame. Archangel - lame. Beast - lame. Everything - lame. It seemed he was just interested in tossing in as many characters and powers as possible in a short amount of time. Even the battle scenes were weak. Overall a poor quality movie and a very disappointing member of the X-men movie family. I would recommend seeing it on video if anything. I hear they are not going to make another film unless the old director comes back; good call on their part. Maybe they should have waited to do the film until AFTER superman was finished so they could have had the director and Cyclops back in it full time.
