Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2006)

I saw this film by accident yesterday, and it's the best mistake I've made in a long time.
Everything about this film is simply infallible.
This original screenplay is simply stunning, usually I find that most fantasy films start excellently, but fizzle out towards the end. X - Men: The Last Stand does not follow this whatsoever. I assure you that the film starts with the past and then moves to the future. Key. Prossor Xavier's death and Magneto's humanisation breaks Hollywood's squeaky clean image of not messing with important characters.
Furthermore, the acting although not superb with Ian McKellen's predictable characterisation, and a somewhat embarrassing Vinnie Jones appearance the rest of the cast gleamed superbly. Halle Berry's rassy can be long forgotten.
The smashing plot, special effects rips at your soul and does what so much twenty first entertainment fails to do: understands and then embraces its audience. X - Men The Last Stand does this infallibly, the best film I will see this year, easily, no film will come anywhere near to touching its brilliance.
A must see for any human being on the planet.
