Good film, some flaws

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2006)

I loved this movie, the action and emotions are brilliant and the plot worked well, not as well as it could of done though. My only complaints are that some things are missed out from the comics and t.v shows. Cain Marko and Prof. X are step/half-brothers but there is no mention of that there, and I'm pretty sure Callisto had different powers....but at least they kept the element of her rivalry with storm. The Pheonix was originally good before it turned bad, not just evil right away, and the thing that annoyed me the most is ....ROGUE LOST HER POWERS!? come on! whats with that?, she's barely in the film to start with which annoyed me, but then you make her lose her powers at the end, that's just too much, I know her "gift" makes her incapable of physical contact, but she's offered a cure on the t.v and refuses it!...Why do that to one of my favourite characters? if the x-men films truly do stop on this one I will be severely disappointed, because I'm hoping that in the fourth other mutants (rogue and mystique) will start to get their powers back like magneto already has. (If rogue does you can tell it will be at the most awkward moment for her and bobby) another idea for the fourth would be to add more fan favourite characters like gambit, and maybe bishop, hes a cool guy.
On a good note for the film, the beast was brilliant, and Kelsey grammar played him really well, the final fight scene where they have to hold the line, the beasts fighting in that was brilliant. As usual Hugh Jackman played wolverine very, very well and Halle Berry was amazing as storm (if there is a fourth she may not come back :S) And as always Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian Mckellen were superb, the scene at Jean Grey's house was one of my favourites (despite how it eventually turns out.) Just another little thing thats been bugging me, after the credits Prof. X comes back in the body of that man we saw in the t.v during one of his classes early on. If there is a fourth, would it annoy anybody else is Patrick Stewarts voice came from that body? hmmm...
