a good follow-up

Rating: 6/10 (28 May 2006)

'X-Men The Last Stand' is a good follow up to the equally-entertaining previous films in the series. Despite the last film being released a couple of years ago, I remembered enough of the characters and plot to understand what was going on, but I think new viewers to the X-Men films will be lost if they did not see the previous ones.
The film is packed with a lot of action and wacky new characters, and it also provides some good resolutions through a climax of conflicts between the mutants and the humans. It is not a flawless film, but it does its job, which is to entertain. The action sequences and special effects are done well, and there is rarely a dull moment in context of he film. I would recommend this film but only after watching the previous two.
