X-Men... X-Men 2... X-Men 2.5 and now X-Men 0

Rating: 3/10 (5 June 2006)

Sad to say that as a long time fan of the X-Men (comic) books and a recent fan of the movies that I did not like this movie. I understand that if I want to see my comic book heroes on the screen like they were in the books I should watch Cartoon Network. You can never truly translate comics to the big screen. The first two movies really captured the essence of the book - misfits trying to find their place in the world as a team.
This movie went for the all action - lots of characters but no substance - no story flick. Just like the "Rush Hour" movies. Quite sad considering Brett Ratner did the 'Prison Break' pilot about a group of misfits trying to breakout of prison as team. Lots of action - lots of character - and a storyline.
What happened to Night Crawler? What happened to Cyclops? Why did Magneto move a bridge?
I think people will wish that Bryan could have done this movie and taken the characters to the next place.
