Big Disappointment

Rating: 6/10 (16 May 2006)

I saw the film in the premiere in Mexico City last night, Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry were here and all we could hear was how we would see it even before Cannes.
Anyway, first I want to say I like X-Men and X2 a lot, and it was very disappointing to see how Brett Ratner couldn't deliver a good and believable movie the way Singer did for the first two.
There are a lot of dead characters from both sides and lots of them lose their powers over 'the cure' which is sad because you stop seeing the great characters almost from the beginning of the film.
The story is filled with gaps, no continuity. The special effects are amazing but sadly it's terrible to see a flying house and a flying Golden Gate Bridge in an X-men film. The new characters aren't really important and we don't see them much, and Famke Janssen gives her worst performance ever.
I give it 6 out of 10
