I think I know why they made this movie...

Rating: 1/10 (28 May 2006)

OK, let's go over the list of things they did:
1. "killed" Prof X 2. Killed Cyclops 3. Killed Jean 4. Rendered Mystique a human 5. Rendered Rogue a human 6. Rendered Magneto a human
I'm thinking 'real-life' affected how this movie was made. I'm thinking Patrick Stewart said that he didn't want to be in any more Xmen films, and thus we have the 'body switch'.
I'm thinking the actor who played Cyclops just basically ticked off the director and thus was promptly handled.
I'm OK with the killing of Jean.
I'm thinking Rebecca Romijn wanted this to be her last film as well.
For the Rogue thing, I think the Director actually thinks Rogue wanted this 'Cure.'
Rendering Magneto a human...Movie ploy, fails miserably.
So, lots of the horrible things that happen in this movie I think financially/actor based. Some other things are not so easy to explain away.
Juggernaught: His powers are magical, and the dude is supposed to be as big as or bigger than the hulk. I mean wolvie is supposed to be barely the size of his head.
Nightcrawler: Wtf was he? He's definitely in the game.
Beast: Can't quite buy Kelsey Grammar as a fighter. Scholar, yes, fighter, no.
I can't quite remember a film I had more issues with since Streeet Fighter the movie. Very frustrating to watch Hollywood in action sometimes...
