The Last Stand?

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2006)

If you have not seen the movie you might not want to read this!!! I'd like to preface this by saying that I thought the movie was awesome! Having said that though I'd also like to say that as a die hard comic book reader I was disappointed by the story line. I was OK with the slight changes in the first XMEN flick and X2, but I felt that X3 went far outside of the boundaries. In other words, if the movie had not been produced in the way it had it would have felt like the Batman movies that got kind of cheesy. It bothered me that they hyped the Iceman vs. Pyro scene and it only lasted a short time. Also, the fact that Nightcrawler was left out did not sit well with me. I would have rated the movie higher if Wolverine and Colossus would have had better fight scenes.
Even after all that I must say that it was awesome!!! Let me know if anybody agrees or am I reading to much into it.
