Obviously awful.. for the true comic book fans.

Rating: 4/10 (30 May 2006)

This is by far the most awful thing I've seen happen to the franchise. It's obvious if you enjoyed the film, you know absolutely nothing about Xmen and you're in awe of special effects and action, because that's all it is. Nothing follows any storyline in the entire movie. Why Phoenix is in the movie is beyond me? It's disturbing how inaccurate everything is. They took something I remembered deeply in my childhood and destroyed it in this movie. One of the most memorable images of the comic book, Cyclops holding Jean when she dies and crying his heart out... that's the way it's supposed to be. It is not Wolverine. They just put Wolverine in there because they felt that he was the most popular hero of the bunch, and all the suckers would not notice. Wrong. True comic book fans would not even take the time to think this is a great movie because nothing is accurate. Everyone losing their powers, boring and predictable. There were hardly any characters that were developed in the movie. Angel is merely seen, he only had like 5 minutes of movie time. Rogue just gets cured and makes it seem like nothing is wrong. I read the comic book and even watched the animated series. Those are what made X-men the way it is meant to be. This is a travesty how ignorant the writers and director made this movie. This is a joke. I'm not going into more detail about what else is done wrong because they are wasting my time. You want a movie with action and special effects, go ahead and waste your 10 dollars. But after watching this and reading the comic, you'll be wondering like all of us, why did I bother wasting my time watching this crap?
