So Underrated.

Rating: 10/10 (13 August 2006)

People like to put this movie down, but I find it very underrated. Bret Ratner did not hurt the X-Men franchise. If anyone hurt these movies, it was Brian Singer, with his first two movies that ended without resolution. Ratner had no choice but to wrap up the ongoing plots, and had only limited space to carry the story further. He did do a great job bringing in new characters like Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut and Kelsey Grammers Beast. There was also a seamless interpretation of the Dark Pheonix Saga. The shocking deaths and demutations of popular characters work fine in the context of the movies. It made a great compliment to the fist two X-Men movies, and is a fun film that exceeded its predecessors.
