This is no X-Men 3

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2007)

I was dismayed to read the lukewarm, mixed reviews on this movie since I enjoyed the first 2 installments immensely. It is with a little apprehension that I sat to watch Spiderman the third at my local iMax theater.
I am very glad to say I was not disappointed. Sure, the plot is a tad flimsy and the ending a bit clichéd but it's OK. I forgive and forget because the rest of the movie is great. There are some uproariously funny moments in the movie (which I won't spoil!) the action is great, the villains all looked and moved great, the pacing was good, heck. It was a great ride and a satisfying movie which is what the director intended.
I was let down by X-Men 3, I wasn't let down by SM3. It's a great flick and it most definitely deserves more than a 7/10.
I give it an 8.5/10
