Why oh why...

I was so excited for this movie. I loved the first two even though I understand there were some differences from the comics of which I know very little.
First off killing Scott. All I can say is what the hell where the writers thinking here. Oh my goodness. Don't they know anything about the comics at all or even about what people want to see. The whole thing with the Phoenix and her overwhelming powers was that her love for Cyclops helped her. She would have NEVER hurt or killed him that was the lamest thing i have ever seen. I was so angry at this point in the movie i wanted to walk out.
Next killing Xavier. That is absolute crap. I can't believe the folks at Marvel gave the go ahead for this script.
I understand there will be some creative license with movies but this was so far off base it was ridiculous. It was choppy and incoherent. The characters were window dressing in the shots with no depth at all.
The effects were good and the acting was good but the storyline sucked so bad it didn't matter.
The only way to fix this horrible movie is to make a fourth and bring the dead back and give the folks back their darn powers. And toss in Gambit and Rogue as she should be. Please Mr. Singer get yourself back and make a 4th that fixes this depressing letdown.
I will have to hit Superman to see the lovely Mr. Marsden and a decent movie looks like.
