I have tried to see the movie just as a movie, and it still fails to engage me. I don't care about the characters. Any of them.
The dialogue was distractingly bad. When Magneto says, "What have I done?" I wanted to weep for the character being forced to speak such a hanckneyed line.
Warren was pointless. The brotherhood was a mishmash of faceless bad guys. Magneto moving the Golden Gate was showy and stupid. And the Phoenix plot was just ridiculous. (Great, Charles, you leave a dangerous personality in her head that happens to control the BULK of her powers.)
