Not the best, but come on, it's not that bad

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2006)

It was alright. A little thin, yes you don't have any idea what the phoenix is really doing, but I think you can chalk that up to her character being both confused and out of control. Sure they kill of cyclops, but you didn't actually see him die, and jean doesn't visually remember him dying, so perhaps he's still around. And although wolverine kills the phoenix is an awesome seen, come on, she's the phoenix, she could rise again.
The cure story line works, but it does seem to be missing something. I almost wanted to seen a scene where they found the boy, or more about rogues involvement. Perhaps there are extended scenes on the DVD which will help with this.
I saw somebody mention that Juggernaugt and Multiple Man join the cause for no particular reason. Yeah that's about right. But again you could chalk that up to the fact that Magneto rescued you. I mean if you were imprisoned and somebody rescued you, would you not help them out regardless? You probably would. How far was wolverine from helping magneto in the first movie? Go back and watch it, he could have been pushed to the dark side given slightly different circumstances.
So it's unpolished, this movie, but it's not bad, and it's a must see if you watch comic movies. It's certainly not as bad as Daredevil and Electra, but expect it to be subpar to any of the spidey or x-men flicks. Just go watch it.
