A great end to the trilogy, but somewhat tragic.

Rating: 9/10 (1 June 2006)

Firstly, I just need to say that if you're a fan of big budget, special effect filled movies, then this is one for you. Endless scenes of constant action. All of the characters were involved in at least one fighting scene. Storm, in this version however is much more powerful than she had been in the previous movies, with lots of flying and spinning, Halle Berri does a wonderful job of bringing the character to light perfectly. With the deaths of Proffesor Xavier, Scott 'Cyclopse' Summers and Jean 'Pheonix' Grey, this movie seems to be the end of line for the X-Men. Brilliant performances from Sir Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackmen and surprisingly, Vinnie Jones give the movie a different range of flavours. New Mutants are also brought into the story line, giving lovers of the comic an extra kick. Thrilling from start to finish.
