Horrible!

Rating: 1/10 (27 May 2006)

Please don't believe the hype. This movie was horrific. I saw it on its opening night in Miami, FL and left the theater in disgust. At first I thought I was the only one that hated it until I stood outside of the theater and got to listen to some of the other theater go-ers.
First, the plot was too convoluted. There was way too much going on and it seemed that the editor got way too happy slicing and dicing the movie into pieces. For one, you never got a solid answer on what happened to Cyclops. Yes, you could infer what happened, but it seemed like it was a top secret event as to what happened to him.
Also, Halle Berry's role seemed a bit diminished in this film. I thought for an A-list actress, that she would get more lines or at least a monologue. However, once again, this movie was about Wolverine. I guess out of all of the X-men characters, he is the most entertaining (to some). Magneto spent a lot of time on the screen as well and Rogue, was (again) reduced to the sidelines. Bobby and Pyro got more lines than Rogue and Storm combined.
I'm so sorry that the original director didn't stay with the movie. For if he had, we would have been able to watch a more tasteful movie instead of the drivel I got free tickets to peruse.
See if it you want, but be forewarned--- your I.Q. will dramatically suffer.
