After sleeping on it and trying to calm a bit after seeing this movie, my conclusion stands, if you are a fan of the x-men franchise (by this I primarily mean people that were into the comics, as well as to a lesser extent people who liked Fox’s animated series), this movie was made to anger you, it is almost as if they intentionally went out of their way to muck things up.  If you’re not a fan of the X-Men franchise then well you’ll just get treated to an action movie with a very convoluted plot that even when you get it all it’s still pretty horribly written, we can only hope that Brett Ratner is sorry and that somewhere Bryan Singer is weeping over the destruction of his hard work.  My biggest concern is how Stan Lee let this happen, I know he hasn’t been doing the best financially leading up to the recent comic movie boom, but by now he should be out of trouble, we can only hope they left him out of the loop on it.
