What was up with some of this movie?

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2006)

Overall, I thought that the movie was a great movie, but it strayed too far away from the comics...The graphics were AMAZING...If they don't get nominated for an Oscar for best special effects, a major pity...Kelsey Grammar was a great addition to the cast... But come on...Why did Jean/Phoenix have to kill the professor??? In my opinion, it is definitely worth the price of admission, heck, I'd even pay to see it twice. But, here is a fair-warning to all of you X-men purists...you will probably be disappointed. You just might leave the theater scratching your head wondering why/how Stan Lee(creator of the series) could sign off on a film that strays SO far from his original premise. I think that they left the door open for the possibility of a prequel a la Lucas/Star Wars by introducing new characters.
