True X-Men Fans verdict

Rating: 1/10 (5 February 2007)

One of the worst movies ever made. If anyone wishes to give a true X-Men fan a torture make them watch this movie. Beware if you make them watch this movie twice you will be attending their funeral. I don't know if there was anything in this movie we could have truly appreciated. It seems the people who are appreciating this movie are completely unaware of x-men's comics and cartoon plus they they lack the ability to distinguish between a masterpiece and junk.
There were so much expectation from this movie and all of them went deep down in the gutters. I am still at loss what was this movie about. Pheonix, Sentinel or The Cure. All of them are completely different stories. The killing of Cyclops, Professor Xavier was completely senseless. Scott was the main motivation for Jean to overcome Pheonix in cartoons and comics. But a split second killing of Scott without a fight, regret , and relunctance on behalf of Jean was disgusting. It left a bad taste right from the start. Pheonix role was totally absurd. Just standing like a zombie for most of the movie and used in a mediocre ending. Xavier killing would have been justified if in the end Jean could have conrolled her power and defeat Pheonix just like the Professor was advising her when he was dying. Rogue was also a casualty deprived of her powers. A true X-Men fan knows that Rogue character and personality is not truly displayed in any of films in this trilogy. She is displayed as cry baby doing nothing special. She has ability to be most the powerful mutant as she can absorb the power of any mutant and can also kill them in the process. Juggernaut's inclusion was total disaster in the sense that his true personality was completely altered. He is not a mutant. His powers are mystical. There was no mentioning of his relations with Prof X. In this way one of the fearsome rivalry was left out. And also the way he was shown in a film was ridiculous. In plastic suit and not so threatening physique. His true personality is more of a rough neck and aggressive. Juggernaut usually works independently. So how in the hell he joined Magneto without even saying a word ?
Believe me this movie was not X-Men 3. It was Wolverine 3. The whole movie was centered around that Wolf and of course Storm as his side kick. Wolverine was shown completely invulnerable and indestructible. All of us knows that he has healing powers. But the rate at which he was recovering was outrageous and extremely exaggerated. How come Pheonix possessing the extreme telekenetic powers was not able to hold the Wolverine back. Her powers were greater than of Magneto and she could have tossed him form one country to another. But instead Wolverine was walking towards her without any serious damage and she was just waiting to get killed. Why didn't she resort to flying when that wolf was coming to stab her. Where was her force field when she needed the most. It would have been better if Wolverine realizing that he could not match her power began shouting that he killed Professor and her lover Cyclops and Jean finding the motivation to control her power. If Mr Ratner or co were really bent upon killing her. It could have been better that she was fighting rest of X-Men and Wolverine stabing her from behind.
Lack of these scenarios and details made the script and this movie really weak. Summing it up it was a sucker of a movie and showed Mr Ratner is also a mutant possessing the power of destroying years of good work in just an hour.
