An Average Movie

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2006)

This film was merely okay. The action scenes were spectacularly done, and more over, did leave some sense of closure to the franchise. Bu as all movies, there are somethings that did detract from the overall aura of the film. The scripting did seem a little to childish at times and illogical. As an avid fan of the original source (comic book fan), some of the characters acted completely different than their counterpart in the graphic novel. The movie wasn't consistent in lieu of the first two installments, and seemed like a completely separate movie instead of a continuance, but overall was a minor success.
The soundtrack was amazingly orchestrated and kept you in the mood through the entire film.The action scenes were jam packed with fighting and destruction, not to mention, it is the X-men. The real treat that made the movie feel a little better was the special ending at the end of the credits (wait for it, it is worth it). Overall, X-Men: The Last Stand is a good attempt to finalize (if they really are going to end the franchise) the series.
