I saw it monday.
I too was very dissappointed with this one.
I was understanding with the first two movies. the XMEN universe is quite a bit more complicated than any superhero movie that' s come before it, so they basically just took some popular characters and made a decent couple of movies. That' s forgivable.
However with this movie they took on far too much material and compressed it into a wholly unsatisfying package. The Phoenix Saga alone could have been a tv miniseries. Angel' s story has almost no emotional impact, because you hardly spend any time with the character. How are you supposed to empathize with a character when he' s only in the movie 3 scenes??
they tried to stuff so many things in this one, everything comes off as shallow and meaningless.
And the special effects were just plain cheap. When you' re talking about the friggin' Xmen, flaming cars are NOT impressive or interesting.
And Where the hell was the big flaming bird?? How can u feature the Phoenix, and not show the trademark big flaming bird????
the more I think about this movie, the more i hate it.
