This may spoil an already spoiled movie

Rating: 4/10 (31 May 2006)

Since the end of X2 I have been waiting for this movie, and now I know the meaning of the word "disapointment." The movie had great special effects, an amazing cast, and a story line that was so good it had to be made into a movie. Even with all these things going for the movie it was still awful. I want to know what responsibility if any the director felt to the fans who made the comic book so popular that it had to be turned into a movie. Everything that made the Phoenix saga so great, was taken away. Jean Grey barley spoke during the movie, we have no idea how she came to the point of being evil, she just was. They called her Phoenix, only once, and it wasn't even to her face! Hugh Jackman in the last 2 movies was great, now his role has become a far cry of what it used to be. I understand some things have to change so the story can be turned into a movie, but come on! One of the things that made Phoenix great was the bird effect, why the hell was that not in the movie? What I hated about the spider-man movie was shoots of people panicking, it was so cheesy and made the movie look so fake, I love the fact that Bryan Singer never did that, it felt like it was a real movie. The new director just made some superfical movie, that didn't give justice to the story, the actors, or the fans. If by chance he reads this I want a apology! Hell I want one from Bryan Singer for doing Superman the movie and leaving X3 in the hands of this butcher. But if you don't care about the story, and have never read the comics, and just want to see a summer movie, you will like it.
