Ratner has really tarnished Singer's story. Where the hell did all of this stuff come from?
I think the thing that pisses me off the most is the handling of my favorite X-Man, Kitty Pryde, a.k.a. Shadowcat. Like with many characters in the movie, all they did was take the powers they had from the comics and ignored any development that they had achieved throughout the series.
For fuck's sake, Kitty Pryde's in love with Peter Rasputin, assholes. And while I admit that Ellen Page satiated desires I've had for the character since Wolverine #125, she really wasn't tough enough.
Not to mention they didn't suggest that Cain Marko is Xavier's brother.
I'm getting more and more pissed about this.
Perhaps the one redeeming quality of the film was the handling of the Phoenix, although even then things were way out of whack.
