Rushed and over crowded story.

Rating: 5/10 (17 June 2019)

As a stand-alone movie, X-Men: The Last Stand is about average superhero stuff with decent action scenes and a couple of eye-popping sceneries here and there, but it sadly pales as a follow-up to X2, which had so many deep character moments.
X-Men: The Last Stand is filled with awesome characters, but almost non of them have any moments which makes you care for them. And those who did were either tossed away or had rushed arcs. The two opening scenes including Jean Grey and Angel were promising and made me think that this movie could be powerful, but then the feeling of two plots being strung together ensued.
I think if the writers had decided to focus solely on the Pheonix Saga it could have worked, because a good portion of it actually worked out pretty well, but with the overall plot being the development of a cure for mutation, it felt like two different plotlines not being well connected.
Yeah, I didn't find it insufferable, but it was a disappointment after watching the two predecessors both of which I still value as comicbook masterpieces.
