Was this a B-movie?

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2006)

Personally, I was extremely upset by this film. It was all fluff! To me, it just felt like a B- movie. There was little to no depth to any of the characters in the. The film also introduced new characters with no explanation of who they are or their history. They also lost many members of the original cast by killing them off! The film became more about the spectacle than the story. Ratner must have let the inflated budget go to his head because the film is chaotic with special effects that seem to have no logical reason for their inclusion. The fight scenes were also sub par. They felt spastic. Most upsetting of all is they mixed the Pheonix subplot with their lackluster cure plot! The Pheonix is the most powerful being in the universe and she took a back seat to contemporary political garbage that crept into the film. I really don't know how this franchise can be saved at this point. Oh wait I do. Make Bishop come back from the future and change the events of this film. For god sake you can't kill off Prof. X! He's the most important person in the entire film! Please, someone, find the original film stock and burn it. Send it to B-Movie hell where it belongs.
