Worth it, but only once

Rating: 5/10 (20 June 2006)

Overall, I have to say the movie wasn't bad, but it just wasn't as good I thought the series finale would be. (And I find myself hoping that it is not the end.) I'm a sci-fi fan, but not a hardcore X-men fan. I watched the X-men cartoons as a kid, and have seen the first two movies many times. After seeing the third movie, I have to say that it just didn't measure up.
There are times where it seems that the movie is missing pieces. I felt that I missed an explanation or back story or even character names to help my understanding of what was going on. Action and effects were overused in this series ender. The DVD version will probably find itself in my collection, but only to have a complete series, not through any greatness of its own.
If you've been eagerly awaiting the next installment of the series you have three options: go to the theater to see it, wait to rent it or add it to your collection when it appears on DVD. The movie is worth seeing, but only worth spending money on one time.
