What have you heard?
Well first off, Ratner's not a good director. And Bryan Singer and the writers had a clear 3rd movie mapped out, but then they went to do Superman Returns and Fox got mad. See Singer was going to do Superman and then the 3rd X-Men movie afterwards, but Fox got petty and said 'screw you Bryan we're going to get a different team to make X3 and realease it before Superman Returns.' So the movie actually has a pretty rushed shooting schedule and isn't going to receive the care it needs.
Another problem is Halle 'worst part of the other X-Men movies' Berry. She bitched up a storm and threatened to quit unless Storm got a much bigger part, and the studio bowed down to her. So look forwared to much more crappy acting in this one and stupid crap like
The script leaked and although it was a first draft, supposedly all of the major plot points remain. So
, the main conflict is rather pedestrian and is a 'been there, done that' sort of issue, and characters like Nightcrawler just don't appear at all in the movie. Oh and Juggernaut looks really crappy (you can see him in the trailer).
But then again, the trailer looked pretty bad-ass, so who knows?
Well I know the movie is about the mutant cure, which is Joss Whedon's idea. Sooo, it can't be that bad right.
I actually thought Singer dropped the X-Men series to do Superman and wasn't going to come back.
