What was the plot about again?
I enjoyed the first X-Men movie not only because it was so thrilling to see a live-action adaptation of a cherished comic book series, but also because it had a plot that made sense and it didn't go (too), over-the-top. The sequel, X-Men 2, was still very enjoyable because the plot was consistent to the end and the action sequences were not as overdone as MI:2. X-Men 3 was THOROUGHLY dissapointing for me because it tried so hard to pack in everything it could, to the detriment of the plot. I found myself wondering why this series of mismatched scenes were jumbled together when there should have been a very solid plotline to follow. Were we to focus on Jean Gray? Archangel? Magneto? What was the movie about other than an excuse to go WAY over-the-top on every sequence and barely work on character development. What a pity the last movie was so thrown together.
