Okay, just saw this tonight. I think the fact that it was too many ideas for one film and they never got realized has been said before, so I won't bother repeating it........ Except for that last sentence. I'll also agree that everyone phoned in their performances here. It's just, in all honesty, a terrible movie. Apparently Xaiver's school is five minutes from New York, Alkaline Lake, AND San Francisco as easily and quickly as everyone was moving back and forth. And did the Brotherhood take a nap after Magneto set the Golden Gate Bridge down on the island? It was friggin' daytime when they did it, but they didn't attack until night.

Oddly enough, it's almost like this movie was predestined to be. It does, after all, kinda go with the flow of the history of the book. It started off as a good idea not fully realized. Then, like in the seventies, it came into it's own with a good characterization and plot. Then, like the late eighties until today, it got turned into a wankfest that looks good but pieces together good plot points from the past without really being able to capitalize on them and tries to sustain itself off its past glory. Watching this movie was a lot like being a victim of date rape. So, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit in the shower in a fetal position for a couple of hours and cry.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
