What a shame

Rating: 4/10 (31 May 2006)

I'm astounded at the number of people that have given this film a 10 rating; I wouldn't argue that its down to personal opinion but this film has some serious short-comings as far as I'm concerned.
I'm a fan of the x-men comics and cartoons and I generally felt the first 2 films were of a good standard, but unfortunately what could have been a superb trilogy has been slightly marred.
You can fault the action in x-men 3; its all you'd expect from such a film and the effects are great, I just found the plot severely wanting.
The death or de-mutation of many leading characters was like a dagger in the heart. I was truly bothered when mystique and the professor went; it may be a bold move on the part of the writers but effectively killing off these characters is pure crazy in my mind to any true fan of x-men.
It is a shame, and I appreciate you may have another take on this, but this film could have been far better with much better plot line. I was disappointed.
