Not the X-men I know

Rating: 3/10 (8 June 2006)

The writers obviously haven't read any of the classic X-men stories on which some of this is based. I know, this is a movie, and not the comic book, but still, some faithfulness to the original is called for. Basically, we have the names and powers (and sometimes not even that, for example the Callisto character), and that's all. Several characters completely out-of-character. Basically, a fairly mindless, predictable, Wolverine-fest. Too bad. From all appearances, this is the end of the X-men movie franchise (or so it was said until the box office came in, which can surely resurrect them all). If so, no great loss- I'll hold out hope for Spider-man 3.
