I never seen the movie at the cinema, yesterday i rent the DVD, and it was not a good experience.
Here is it how it works for me:
They keep dressing up X-Men with those black suits, they are the worst costume i ever seen on a hero, Spidey wears his classic costume with only 1change, DareDevil wears a near similar costume, Hulk, uh he wears pants, he only wears pants.
The X-Men looks like they are going to a sadomaso party with those leather suits.The movie should be called Wolverine: Return to Weapon X.
In the first, he joined the X-Men to save Rogue, in the second he come back just to become the center of the movie, they all reach Weapon X cause it's the leader of the project, Stryker that force Nightcrawler to attack the President of U.S.A.
Cyclops is still the same actor, that looks like a 19years old guy, he's not tall, he's not muscular like Scott Summers, and the only good thing about him is the optic blast CGI effect.
Storm, that unleash two tornadoes against the army jets, and don't unleash a lightning?She could simple give the commands of the X-Jet to
They introduce:
Pyro:
At last, one if not the better in the movie, he blast the Police car, and put some action in a boring scene where Logan was just staying in front of the house without defending himself against the Police.
Colossus:
Throw two soldiers through a wall, then Logan sends him helping the young students.It was the good occasion to introduce a strong and loved character but they missed it.The metal body transformation CGI was good anyway.
Lady DeathStrike:
She was beating the living crap out of Logan, that's crap.He fought like a poor idiot, when against high trained soldiers in X-Mansion he fought like an expert warrior that knows how to slice and kill people.
Syrin:
She only shout for a few before she gets put to sleep by the soldiers
The "Old Characters"
Nightcrawler
Transformed into a fanatic cristian mutant, that dress up like a homeless and has no flur on his body, he also is full of slash.He cut himself cause he hate himself.They transform him into a psycho with teleport powers.
Magneto
Probably the worst of all the characters in the movie.
Ian McKellen is a very good actor, but he can't be Magneto.
In comics Magneto is over 6feet tall, he's muscular, he looks more young, and his powers can be seen.In comics when he use magnetic powers the drawers draw the energy effect of the powers.In the movie Magneto's powers looks like telekinesis, if you're not a Marvel reader you don't know how he can do this until they told you.
IceMan
Bobby Drake just talk in a "bravado way" with Pyro, and blast a guy with some ice, and thats all.
Rogue
She just stays around without doing anything, except for kissing IceMan or dressing up with the uniform.Why did they put her in the original X-Men formation?WHY?
Mystique
RRR is a nice woman, but the make up of her Mystique is not what is supposed to be "based" on the comic book.Mystique skin is smooth, she hasn't got spikes and other things.
About the interpretation, RRR is good in both combat scenes and dialogues scenes, she's one of the few that put up a decent interpretation.
Jean Grey
Like Magneto, no visual effects for her powers, except for the shield she use to block Cyclop's attack.She get possessed from the Phoenix Force with no explanation, and if you don't read X-Men comics you can't know why her eyes are glowing you'll just ask youself, what is happening here?Why her eyes are glowing and why there's the shadow of a bird under the BlackBird?
Wolverine
Hugh Jackman is not the perfect Wolverine, but he pull out the character in a good manner.But they let Logan fight like a killing machine against soldiers, like an enraged beast against LD.
Storm
In the first movie she's used like a punching ball from Toad, then she finally blast him with a lightning and thats all.The only good thing about Halle Berry acting are his breasts.In the second movie, she cause the X-Jet to get hitted by missiles, when they could simple let her give the commands to Jean and go out blasting the missiles or the Army's jets.
Professor Xavier
The scene in which he blocks the minds of the humans in the general store is good, but they don't let him says i block the people here to let us go away without problems.You have to understand it on your own if you don't know who is Prof X.
Finally i give the movie a 6+ just cause it was fun to take me busy for 2hours or less, but i hope they do a more better work with the 3rd.
