We should remember that anyone can make a trailer look good, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a good movie. Besides, some trailers suck, while the actually movies shine. I, for one, am not impressed by what I see. I find it to be a sort of bastardization of the X-Men story. I know they want to make some variations to the mythology of the X-Men, by some of the variations stray too far and often in unnecessary ways. I think part of the problem is that the studio committed to doing only three movies, and as such felt a need to make this movie somewhat conclusive. By doing this, they are prematurely introducing or have prematurely introduced characters and story lines that seem aberrant and inconsistent. In the end, it could turn out to be a great movie, but right now I don't see anything that indicates that. I realize that I am one of the few, if not the only, dissenting voices, but I am guided by honesty...sorry...
