Its hard for me to say that Megneto should be removed from the film, as he is Xavier's alter-ego. He is the Malcolm X to Xavier's Martin Luther King, and I even kind of see him as a X-Man with just a severe difference of opinion.

I think you could have included the setinels (they had a cameo in the beginning danger room scene), and honestly I think that would have been a much better plotline. Afterall, the mutants real enemy was always mankind, not each other. And if not the Sentinels, how cool and different would Apocalypse have been? Then again, he may have been too esoteric for a general audience.

IMO, Fox has always put cost before quality in this series, its just that Singer and his team were talented enough to fashion lead into gold. But once again Fox continued to try and "Planet of the Apes" the series and Singer left for Superman in disgust.

Unfortunately Ratner does not share that talent and you end up with the flat and nearly comical looking final scene from X3. It looked cheap and staged, because it was.
