This movie first of all completely goes away from the comic story line. Which is after all where these characters and events have so much weight with the core audience. I am not a huge fan of comics but from talking to people that are it seems that the best comic book movies are made from the original source. Like Superman, Batman, Spiderman. Others that depart from that source seem doomed like Hulk, Batman Returns-Batman and Robin, Superman 3 and 4 and this piece of junk. Basically they seem to kill off major characters to bring some "drama" into the story line and it just fails. The entire time they are killing these guys I was thinking that maybe the actors portraying these characters are just trying to get away from a sinking ship. The new characters are nothing special, however the newly added Kitty Pride proves the exception to the rule. In conclusion it is a huge step backwards where X2 was the opposite. But hey when it's all said and done you either like it or not. Just don't say I didn't warn you.
