X Men 3 was a Huge Disappointment for All fans!

Rating: 4/10 (30 May 2006)

Bryan Singer left us for a Superman movie that looks far from promising and we're stuck with a director that obviously knows nothing about the original X-Men comics. How can you create a movie where small-time villains like Pyro and Juggernaut live--and kill off beloved characters such as Cyclops and apparently Xavier - as well as remove beloved characters such as Rogue (who turns her back on her fellow mutants when they needed her most)and Mystique (One of the best-developed villains of Bryan Singer's vision)? Angel was a waste of footage. Why not allow him to battle with the X-Men-What was his purpose? Logan and Jean Greys relationship seemed stronger than that of Jean and Scott. They never even showed Cyclops die - Major disrespect. Xavier is supposed to be an extremely powerful-telepathic and goes out like a punk in 2-3 minutes. And who were these new villains? I never even knew the character names until I looked on IMDb.com, yet their holding their own against the trained and powerful X-Men characters. Callisto could be a formidable foe for a young Storm, but not a poorly developed Callisto. Did anyone even know her name was Callisto? Finally, the movie title is X-Men The Last Stand, so don't leave us thinking there will be a 4th film. The entire trilogy failed to follow the comics and more disappointing was the lack of character introduction. It could have used more depth with characters like Gambit, Bishop, Havok, Wolfsbane, Polaris, Apocalypse, Omega Red, The Blob, Mr. Sinister, and countless more villains-instead we get Club Kid Callisto, Spike? and some other jackass. Don't get me wrong, I really like X-Men 1 and thought 2 was okay, but 3 left me so disappointed I was actually a little angry. Could have gone about 10-12 other directions with this plot and most directions would have been better.
