I got a copy off the net and watched and guys it sucked so badly. And it wasn't just because some of the special effects weren't finished. Maybe there was more that needed to be added in...but really not sure if it woudl be enough to make a coherent story. This movie was basically just showcasing mutant powers and moved from one fight scene to the next. I'm glad I didn't pay money to see this one. :(

Oh, good. It wasn't just me. Unless the scenes they claim 'aren't included' are heavy on character development and plot, I can't view this as anything other than a really long movie trailer. I wish they'd stop throwing CGI effects at us and start telling a story. Superhero land is starting to resemble a stuffed sardine can. Their super baddie was especially lame, and poor use of a fun actor.

I think the reason I LOVED the Watchmen so much is because it did have plot and character development and made sense! So even when some parts were slow it still had substance.

This X-Men was a mess. And I don't think they have enough time in one month to truly fix it. A trailer movie is a very good description.

I was getting that vibe from the trailer :( I have no idea who the director and writer are, but that is usually a bad sign, if fans aren't saying so and so did this or that.

I just don't get why they didn't get Brian Singer to direct this one? His first X-Men movie was good!

Yea, I watched it too. I'm hoping the suckiness was due to the unfinished special effects..and missing scenes. But I'm always hopeful when it comes to movies and television.
