pretty much trash, as compared to the first two. Make sure you see it as a matinée

Rating: 3/10 (27 May 2006)

Honestly, this movie was such a major letdown. I'm a big fan of the x-men series so far, but this was unreal. The acting was a celebration of mediocrity and the script itself was borderline awful. I mean, "a cocoon of telekinetic energy"? come on guys, this movie straight blew. What was kelsey Grammar (Frasier and Beast) doing here anyway? talk about your miscasts. Lastly, I don't have a clue why they didn't have Bryan Singer direct this one like he did X1 and X2. Brett Ratner was clearly not up to par. I'm sorry to disrespect those of you who enjoyed the film, but I guess it just didn't live up to the hype or my expectations. Make sure you do the matinée thing, i'd hate to see someone blow $10 when they could burn $7 instead.
