The handling of a number of characters smacked of "I don't want to be in this franchise anymore". And that bloody Mercedes SUV on the bridge was ridiculous. I give it a Meh.

I would n't be surprised. But was I the only one who heard the 'Jean Grey is a Class 5 mutant' explanation of The Phoenix and had flashbacks to Star Wars 'Metaclorians in the bloodstream' bullsh*t? Oh, and how come Wolverine hatches a plan (with Beast) to subdue Magneto with a bunch of doses of Cure, but his plan to confront Jean -- the love of his life -- is to kill her? After all, he had to get her permission to get the chance to strike her with his claws -- wouldn't a box of Cure rounds have been his first choice? Since The (movie version of) Phoenix is just a (subconciously contained) mutant superpower, then her powers should be stripped away by the Cure. Maybe you've got a good explanation/rationalization for that?
