This movie does no justice to the Dark Phoenix Saga

Rating: 4/10 (27 August 2008)

After X-men 2, I was excited because the next movie would be about one of the greatest stories in the history of the X-men comic books; The Dark Phoenix Saga. Sadly it was not to be. This movie is a mish mash of crappy stories to attempt to finish the trilogy up in one shot. Plain and simple it just doesn't work. Imagine if the producers took most of the plot from the comic book. Just think of X-men vs the Hellfire club and then possibly the Shi'ar empire. I bet it would have made a hell of a lot more money than this movie did. They could have made the movie better if they allowed Bryan Singer to direct the third film. But they didn't and the final product has the legacy of not being as well made as it should have been.
