Chaos instead of epic conclusion

Rating: 2/10 (19 August 2013)

It was a double tragedy that Bryan Singer decided to leave X-men franchise to direct Superman returns" and left it in the hands of Brett Ratner . "Superman returns" sucked badly, while Ratner murdered X-men . There is strong possibility that if Singer directed the third part of X-men it would be at least decent.
The story is all over the place. There are 5 or 6 story lines from the comics collapsed into this movie, none of them working at all. Like 2 or 3 movies were made and just cut together. The characters either disappear (Nightcrawler) or appear (Juggernaut , Multiple man) without any explanation . New mutants are introduced without developing their character or even their motivation one bit. Important characters get killed very quickly without any emotional impact on the viewer . Other like Angel are simply pointless. Jean Grey is badly developed and so is Magneto.
The cast seem to be unmotivated . Only Kelsey Grammar as The Beast and Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut shine.
The action is not bad and so are the special effects. The movie is definitely not boring.
The first movie wasn't bad , the second was great and this is simply bad sequel . Not necessarily the worst comic book movie ever , but what a wasted possibility for heart wrenching epic finale... I give it 2/10.
