Horrible Rush and Story Butchering

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2006)

I just got back from watching this movie and had to rant somewhere.
Do Not Go See This Movie!! Marvel allowed this movie to be a travesty to the entire x-men series. The movie was poorly written, didn't follow very much of the X-men backstory, and seemed to be aimed towards just making a third movie to make a third movie to try and wrap the entire series up. For those of you who know about the Phoenix Saga and after seeing the Phoenix in the second movie, you will be horribly disappointed as they ignored that backstory completely and butchered it. The only thing the movie had going for it was that it is completely action packed. Problem with that is their obsession about trying to put so much action in it ruined the story. I'm trying hard not to spoil this for anybody, but just to warn that this movie is not worth the money.
