great disappointment! \|/ >.< \|/

Rating: 4/10 (29 May 2006)

Terrible, just terrible! I'm a huge X-men fan and I have awaited this third movie with such enthusiasm for all those long months. Then at last when the day came, I and a couple of fellow X-men fans threw a party/X-men Marathon thing. The third movie should have been the climax of the whole day, but instead it turned out into a great disappointment! The first 10 minutes were okay, but then it turned from bad to worse. To start with this movie is nothing like the first 2 (Bryan Singer, you are missed!). The story makes no sense what so ever and it's just a pile up of FX sequences. The movies takes a couple of story lines from the books and mashes them together in a very poor manner and it concludes really non of them. The movie also doesn't feel like the ending of a trilogy what so ever. It makes you feel like this a beginning of a whole new/different set of movies to come. And may this be the case, Gods forbid it will be done by the same clowns who made this one! This movie shows no respect for the X-men universe at all and it shames the previous 2 movies. I guess people who know nothing about X-men will enjoy it somewhat because of all the pilled up FX action scenes, but to true X-men fans it a huge disappointment. If you will see this movie you will leave it with a lot of frustration, huge disappointment and no feeling of completion at all. So it would be wise to save your money on buying a ticket and just wait for the movie to turn up on television or something. Really, you won't miss a thing.
