This entry in the series puts an end to Fox’s X-Men franchise. The studio drove at least some of the nails into the coffin by under-funding the production after poorer-than-expected box office for the previous entry. Plus – horror of horrors! – they dared to leave Wolverine out of it and focus on a female protagonist. Killing off one of the popular characters probably didn’t help, either. I watched this twice (once on an airplane and then again when I could actually pay attention to it), and both times my reaction was that this was neither as bad as the fan boys seemed to think nor as good as some of the other entries in the set. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
