where the first two were wide-ranging and fun to watch,
this film was shorter, alot more simple, and nothing really special.
The jokes were mediocre and just dropped in... it's as if the filmmakers where saying "Here's a joke. Okay that was the joke."
whereas the previous films had more fluid and interwoven humor across the film, besides a few.
This film was dark and not very fun to watch, Juggernaut I was most displeased with, not much focus was given to Angel, Beast, or any other
characters except maybe Xavier, Jean, Magneto, and Wolverine... couldn't they make it more complex?
The movie was also pretty short. X1 and 2 were longer pictures and had more interesting situations.
Whereas this movie was just "Anti-X-gene found. Phoenix rises. Magneto fights. X-Men stop him and Phoenix."
Brett Ratner also isn't very good at situations and characters... all of wich where really direct and simple in terms
of what each character does in a situation, ect.
The design for Juggernaut wasn't good either... he hardly looks like his comic-book counterpart. (I know it's to give him a realistic feel)
but it just wasn't impressive enough.
The action scenes weren't much either... sure, Phoenix does some cool things, but whenver someone gets killed by her, they turn into
Windows 98 screensaver ball explosion particles!
I liked the magneto thing where he *SPOILER SORT OF*kinda movies his metal chess piece at the end.
All in all I'd give it a 5.5 out of 10, whereas the previous Xs where 8.0 out of 10.
for me it's the Terminator 3, Jurassic Park 3, and Blade: Trinity, of the X-Men series... only slightly less dumb. Credit to the writers on that one.
