Had its cheesy moments, but overall FANTASTIC

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2006)

What gives this movie the edge compared to the other two is the emotion. The story of the Phoenix was done extremely well, and I think thats what stole the show. There is a scene (won't go to into it so I don't spoil anything) where Jean and Xavier have somewhat of a showdown. It is a very powerful scene and I have to say its my favorite scene in all three of the X Men movies. This movie really got into the Wolverine/Jean storyline and thats what helped this movie become more dramatic than the first two. I got a little teary in a few spots of the film. The score really helps get into the story as well.
While this movie had some cheesy moments and lines, over all it was done very well and I think what made it so good was how emotionally powerful it was, especially for a comic book movie. I urge everyone to see it. You'd be surprised.
