Great Movie!!! Why the complaints?

Rating: Null/10 (2 May 2003)

Most of what I'm thinking has been said (the good things) by others already. The only thing that bothered me a little is the lack of Cyclops and the constant (and unnecessary) close-ups they gave Halle Berry. Don't get me wrong, she is gorgeous, but c'mon.
I completely understand all the "convuluted" sub-plots that were worked into the movie. This is all foreshadowing for a 3rd movie.
Pyro joining Magneto: I see a new Brotherhood of Mutants all over. Bring back Sabretooth and use Quicksilver & Scarlet Queen (Magneto's children) for a sub-plot on the 3rd part.
Nightcrawler, Colossus, Shadowcat & Dr. McCoy (Beast): More additions for the X-Men; then they can have more than one team like in the comics.
Jean Grey's "Death": Ok, this is my favorite. Can anyone say "Phoenix"? This movie had this plot all over it!!! And the final sequence showing the "phoenix" in the water was just too much.
I gave it 9/10. It deserves it.
