O.K just came back from the movie. I'm not a crazy X-Men comic book fan, I was a huge fan of the cartoon. To tell you the truth the only reason I know of most comic book characters are from cartoon spinoffs. Not a fan of comics....so this is a review from a non comic fan.

For those who haven't seen it then stop reading. For those who have or aren't going to bother here goes...

The movie was sloppy, and had more plot holes then a fucking cemetary. They killed off popular mutants left and right withouth any real purpose. If the death of Cyclops was meant to strike emotion then they completely missed the target on that one. So basically....Cyclops died for the sake of dying....nothing more. I didn't feel bad when he died...I didn't even have a chance to reflect upon it. Add to that the deaths of Soundwave, Jean Grey (why didn't Wolverine just inject her with the cure) and the apparent "death" of Professor Xavier (no he doesn't die, should have stayed for post credits revelation scene!) and you have one big fucking pointless mess.

Cameo's were made by Jubilee for maybe half a second. How did I know it was Jubilee? The fucking credits told me it was Jubilee.....purple hair and asian. I should have put 1 and 1 together. Angel was probaly the most pointless cameo in the whole fucking movie...completely worthless. ESPECIALLY considering that in X-Men 2 the blueprints for Arch-Angel can be seen in the movie...For those that don't know Arch-Angel is the result of Angel dying or something like that.

So they kill of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and about 100 other mutants....maybe this was a lame attempt at assuring there would be no X-Men 4? Or maybe they would like to introduce newer characters in X-Men 4?

For those that did not stay until the end of the movie....Professor Xavier transfers himself into another persons body. Maybe this was a lame attempt by Brett Ratner to assure there would be an X-Men 4 even though Patrick Stewart said no to another sequel.

Next movies up in the franchise is Wolverine: The Prequel and Magneto: The Prequel. Hopefully they don't hire this fucking hackjob to fuck up those two movies.
