This movie sucks, if you liked the comics don't see this

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2006)

When I heard Brett Ratner was going to direct it I thought it was going to be bad, but I thought bad like a bad movie - dull, stupid, etc. Instead it was like he wanted to trash all the characters. They have said this is the last movie and I hope it is. Ratner decides to trash some of the best characters in the series. I found it very offensive that he could come on and just destroy characters that he is probably completely clueless about.
SPOILER*** He kills off Cyclops (very early on) and Professor X (about a third of the way through). Trashes Mystique, Rogue, and then delivers a really STUPID ending. The government is trying to "cure" mutants, when Magneto threatens, the President decides to eradicate any mutants that oppose them. Then Magneto and his brotherhood kills a ton of soldiers, destroys the Golden Gate bridge, then it's like okay, all is forgiven, everything is peaches and cream. Right. So when the mutants blow out a couple of windows the President decides to stop them by any means necessary. The mutants then kill dozens/hundreds of US Army personnel but then it's over and apparently everyone kissed and made up. So the Brett Ratner theory is blowing out windows is bad, killing a hundred or so members of the military is no problem.
I really, really hated him killing off Cyclops and Professor X. For no apparent reason. All he had to do was read a few comic books to figure out how you can accomplish things without killing off main characters. It really bugs me that they take a property like X-men and put it in the hands of a hack like Ratner then let him flush it down the toilet. If he wanted to make a movie and kill off a bunch of people why didn't he make an original movie? Why take a group someone else created and just squash them.
I hope this movie bombs, I hope Ratner never gets near any story I have actually read or heard off. Thanks god he didn't get a hold of the Lord of the Rings. A pox on Ratner and Fox for putting out this offensive piece of garbage.
