2. The "Phoenix loses control and kills everything with her amazing unbelievable uncontrollable god-like powers" is kinda ****ing boring anyway. If you want it to be impactful, then you MUST build up the character quite a bit in advance to generate enough interest for her turning heel to be meaningful. They haven't come close to doing that.

3. They literally ALREADY DID THIS MOVIE. And it flat out sucked. Maybe there's a new spin on it here, but seriously you better have some meaningful difference between the primary plot here and the original X-Men 3, which flat out sucked DESPITE having more invested in the relationship between Jean and Wolverine.
AS I pointed out, they already did a Dark Tower movie.

I'm sure fans of the book would still like to see the ACTUAL story get some kind of adaption.

It's kinda like that. NOw they botched it twice and from what I'm hearing this thing makes Wolverine Origins look good by comparison.
