Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mistwell" data-source="post: 2858433" data-attributes="member: 2525">Saw it this weekend.  I re-watched the first two before seeing this.This movie was far and away the weakest of the three, and not nearly up to the standards set in the first two movies.  I really wish Singer hand done this movie, since it was obvious to me the director messed it up.I did overall find it enjoyable, as pure entertainment that I will rapidly forget.  But this movie seriously lacked the depth of the other two movies.Angel - served almost no purpose, was not developed as a character, yet was marketed in all posters and adds as if he was a big part of the film.  Marketing just plain old lied.Beast - Liked him, but he was just a cover for the absence of Nightcrawler, who I liked more and who was more thought out and developed in the prior movie.Most new mutants on both sides - Just cover for additional special effects and fights to replace character development and plot.Kitty Pride - Worth a LOT more time to develope, and was not.Storm - this is a character with a meaninful past and interesting history and way of thinking about the world, and we will never see it because this movie completely blew those issues off.  Hallie Berry said she is done with superhero movies for all time, and I believe her.  Storm is now done, and we never even got to see the story unfold at all for her.Cyclops - not even an interesting death.Dark Phoenix - Apparently she should have been named Dumb Phoenix, since she became an idiot easily manipulated like a child once she transformed.Rogue - Never gave her the powers she was supposed to get this movie, never really dealt with the struggle she faced and instead resolved it with a cheap cop-out that doesn't even make sense since she is back and school but no longer a mutant.Wolverine - Getting his own movie so no need to spend all that time re-doing the same character development already done in prior movies just to take away development from other characters who badly needed it.Seriously, I cannot understand how people think this movie was better than either of the prior ones, if they have watched the prior ones recently.  There was just no comparison.  It's an okay summer action flick, but relative to what came before it's a B-movie with a big budget.</blockquote>
