Shock and Awe

Rating: 3/10 (26 May 2006)

What ever happened to staying true to Characters and story lines. And They seemed to kill off vital characters for impact rather than anything else. I grew up on Comics and Xmen was one of my favorites. This movie unlike the previous two that simply combined a few story lines and exercised a little liberty, Totally IGNORES the Character development that was established during the comics. I mean since when did Jean Grey Kill Scott?? and when did she turn and kill the Prof??? ITs like the Pheonix Saga on acid. I can say I enjoyed watching the special effects although they could have showcased a few more characters when the mutants (bad) started on their campaign of terror. And not to mention MAgneto and how his story turns. This would definitely be a rental, I went to see it at a midnight showing and the entire theater was booing. YEah I gave it a 3 out of 10 and that was Generous
