too many characters ,too confusing plot, way too much wolverine

Rating: 2/10 (16 September 2010)

the film is a mess Xavier and Cyclops are taken out in the first 5 minutes in order to give Hugh jackman most of the film to himself. instead of established characters we get nightcrawler and striker. an awful lot of running about in tunnels at the end and a confusing barely coherent plot that does a grave disservice to the original. Halle berry phones in her performance & strangely looses her African accent from the first film and day dreams about winning another undeserved Oscar. The attack of the soldiers on the school is ridiculous Hugh seems to kill 100s of soldiers and the rest of the students ain't exactly defenceless either.An "American version" of colossus is completely in vulnerable smashing down soldiers and walls and yet they retreat.We never see where the escapees go .Logan and rogue and iceman just drive off,easy enough with all those helicopters and special forces soldiers hovering outside. Cyclops and Xavier pop up again for the last 5 minutes ,a pointless death and then its cue the even more dire sequels
Its all down hill from here folks
