It could have been AMAZING if....

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2006)

This movie was action pack, lots of great special effects, but it could have been better if they just made it longer and expanded some scenes and characters. So many scenes from the trailer were not included in the movie. There were a lot of characters in this movie that felt incomplete.
Rogue- Huge character development for her in X1 and X2, but what the hell happened here? The cure was a huge part of this movie and she wanted it more than anyone yet they gave her like 7 minutes on screen.
The love triangle- I thought there was going to be a love triangle between Kitty, Rogue, and Bobby. Yeah, they gave hints to it in this movie, but nothing really big happened. I would have like to have seen more on this.
Mystique- Coolest character by far yeah she gets cut off early. I kinda can understand that for the purpose of introducing new characters but none of the new characters are ever really explained like Juggernaut. I mean seriously it wouldn't have taken that long to explain some stuff about him.
It seems like they made several cuts to the movie which I think took away from what made X1 and X2 so good. The first two movies had a nice flow with the right amount of character development. This movie seemed to fly by. Only a few characters got to really develop.
So, if you want to see a high action film then this is for you, but if you're a fan of the old films you may come out disappointed.
