Missed it's potential

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2006)

This film was good, it definitely had one of the better story lines, but some parts were a little campy. Many characters just didn't get enough screen time. I don't see why the rush the movie wasn't even two hours long. Had they made it 2 and a half hours or even 3 hours (probably pushing it) it could have been so much better because they could have added to the minor bits of character development that each character in this movie got. The acting jobs for many characters were good, but Kitty Pride and Callisto were pretty bad. The movie had awesome special effects and fight scenes. It also had a lot of moments you know were just for the fans.
This movie was pretty good, but it's just depressing with maybe a teeny bit more effort into acting and script it could have been an epic finale. The scale was grand enough and the stage was set.
Just some of the story parts that could have been developed into a lot more: Rogue's desire to be normal, Angel and his father's conflict with his powers, Pyro and Iceman's rivalry, Beast's powers making him look like a mutant, The Rogue Iceman Kitty love triangle, Magneto and Mystique's betrayal of each other, and Collossus( Who didn't get any character development whatsoever)
