1.) first why, why, why did they even use kitty pryde as the time traveling power person. i know there saying her powers evolved to that point , but really how does becoming intangible correlate with the space time continuum? they could have just created an original character and it would have made more sense. *SIDENOTE- so if the sentinels came while she was doing the whole wolverine in past thing. why didnt she just stop send someone back again and say hey this wolverine in the past thing will be interrupted on this day so dont do it at that time. *
2.) they ruined beast. this goes back to my comment about singer's understanding of the characters. turning beast into a guy that can just turn his power on and off goes against everything beast was. he turned himself into the blue creature because he wanted so desperately not to become it, he used a serum that actually accelerated his mutation when he was trying to rid himself of it. you would think he may have learned his lesson from that and just learned to accept himself for who he was. in fact thats what makes his character great, because he does do that. Turning him into some sort of hulk creature is not who beast is. its about looking past his beastly exterior to realize hes not a brute but an intellectual genius
3.) ok i know im picking apart a "scifi" plot here, but how exactly does mystiques powers correlate to sentinels assimilating powers of other mutants? last time i checked she could only shapeshift into people not take on their powers. this again goes into bryan singer knowing nothing about the characters hes working with.
4.) wolverine apparently cant drown. didnt know a mutant healing ability also makes you grow gills which is just about the only way he could have survived being under water for 10-20 minutes there
5.) so mystique takes wolverine as stryker in the end, this leads to all sorts of huh? so how does the real stryker get him? does he even care about him? was mystique the one that gave him his adamantium?
6.) people keep telling me that this movie made all the good things from the franchise's past movies valid and the bad things null. but i was left completely confused over it. maybe i missed something. did x3 even happen? i mean lord knows i hope it didnt but cyclops is there, jeans there. how?
7.) The useless cameos. wow, i dont think ive seen so much money wasted on completely useless cameos. heres a list of people that were overpaid because their part could not have been completely excluded and it would have been the same movie - anna paquin; rogue, halle berry; storm, shawn ashmore; iceman, Daniel Cudmore; colossus, Adan Canto; sunspot, BooBoo Stewart; warpath, Lucas Till; havok, Evan Jonigkeit; toad, Famke Jansen; Jean, James Marsden; cyclops. THATS 10 PEOPLE JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD!!!
8.) Halle Berry. When x-men first came out in 2000 halle berry was by far the best person to play storm. she had the look and the acting chops. i think we all thought she was the quintessential storrm at casting. now weve seen her, and 14 yrs have gone by. though she may be a good actress for other things, action movies are not for her. she can not pull them off. in 14 yrs you cant tell me they couldnt have found another qualified actress to play storm and one who could do a good performance for the money they wanted to pay, instead of overpaying halle to get nothing out of it.
9.) Look i know im being a harsh critic but my feelings are this, if a 40 minute cartoon (x-men tas) can depict this story with its own spin on it better than a multimillion dollar movie than somethings wrong.
