Yes, it's as bad as people are saying...

Rating: 1/10 (26 May 2006)

This movie was SO bad for the following reasons: 1) It spends the whole time showcasing different mutants, powers, and F/X which leaves no room for plot. Everything is rushed and sloppy.
2) Clearly the F/X team took a page out of Lucas' Star Wars new episodes by throwing so much eye candy at the audience in hopes to "wow" them instead of drawing them into the movie.
2) How can you just KILL off or take away the powers of so many characters? Imagine watching a Superman movie where it ends with him losing all his powers. It's an utter joke. I can see one or two main characters losing abilities...but THAT many of them?? Mystique, gone. Magneto, gone. Xavier, gone. Cyclops, gone. Jean Grey, gone. lol...it's just brutal! This movie is an abortion to the franchise and a franchise killer. This series could have been great, but thanks to this movie, and the writers, they have completely destroyed it. Nice work. Guess I'll have to wait for Superman to see a good blockbuster for the summer.
