great idea,but should have taken more time --mild spoiler

Rating: 2/10 (25 January 2007)

In principle,the idea of x men last stand was superb,but to any fan of the original comic book stories,it doesn't stick to facts outlined in their pages,e.g. Jean/Phoenix does not kill any of the X men,and Phoenix/jean grey dies in an intergalactic grudge match with fellow super heroes on another planet in the books. If this was the last stand,where was Nightcrawler,the redeeming qualities were Kelsy Grammar as Hank,Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut(though we didn't find out he was the Professor's half brother),Collossus and the numerous other brotherhood members,also the special effects were second to none,but i think a little more time spent on the story by true fans,would have made it a little more accurate and interesting,i felt that this film was a downer rather than the beginning of the x men/new mutants etc, i would make it again.
