Ruined

Rating: 1/10 (27 May 2006)

Xmen was a great comic and a great cartoon. I grew up like many people loving this awesome show. I understood why you couldn't follow the history of the Xmen exactly, but the story you came up with was just crap. Killing Jean Grey, Cyclops and Prof X was uncalled for. The comics and cartoon gave heaps of great story ideas that could easily have been adapted to movie format. Now there is no chance to redeem yourself, because you killed some of the main characters. Anything in the future will be hollow - fruit of a poisonous tree. I loved the first two movies. Although not "historically" correct, the essence was there. I have never posted any comment to anything, ever. But this had to be said. You unnecessarily ruined Xmen. I wish money was not the only motivator. There are fans that love this stuff, and I know I could have written a better storyline myself - and my self-esteem sucks. On a positive note, the fight scenes and special effects were great.
