"X-Men: The Last Stand"

Let's just say that this franchise wrapped up a lot faster than Harry Potter did.
I mean let's think about this. Professor X's school is Hogwarts, Charles Xavier is death resembles a lot like Dumbledore's, and like Professor Snape who killed Dumbledore, Jean Grey had to be killed for the sake of humanity.
Lord Voldemort...err...I mean Magneto...has built himself an army of newborns...err...I mean mutants...as they come together to fight against a scientist who has developed a cure to suppress the so-called X gene that allows a person to mutate and develop powers. This especially starts when the scientist's son has been able to develop wings.
On top of all that this conclusion is a mess. An absolute mess. There were too many characters to keep track of, the plot had so many holes it looks as if Jean Grey may have dismantled it herself. Cyclops returned to the dam where Jean died, and discovered that she's alive. they embrace and kiss, but she consumes him and kills him. Professor X calls her a class 5 mutant, which is what exactly? Since when were there classes of mutations? In the first X-Men, Professor X did mention that some powers were so great and powerful that the person can be a danger to everyone and themselves. I guess this includes Jean. Eventually, Logan confronts Jean as she tries to destroy him the same way she killed Professor X, hold that thought for a minute, but he helps snap Jean back to reality, and he kills her.
At the same time, Hank McCoy, a. k. a. Beast, a mutant ambassador to the President's cabinet, stabs the cure he was against into Magneto, causing him to lose all his power. Then President is all fine and dandy, the world is saved, the world is happy, the mutants can go to Hogwarts...err I mean Professor X's school. Wolverine saves the world.
I know this is really short, but there is nothing else to talk about. This movie sucks. What happened to Bryan Singer? I would like to kick Brett Ratner in the nuts over this movie.
I forgot; Professor X died. In the post-credits scene, a doctor enters the room, where it turns out she is treating Charles Xavier! WHAT THE HELL? WE SAW HIM EXPLODE. It even sobered up Magneto. That's how bad it was. All this time he seemed okay with killing Professor X, but it came to actually kill him he's not okay with it. But back to Professor X's resurrection. HOW? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
