Just plain average. Wouldn't Recommend.

Overall: This movie was just average. I don't see anything offensively bad or anything ridiculously good. It stands on two feet but just barely. The pros and cons cancel each other out to make a pretty bland and forgettable experience.
Wouldn't Recommend.

Hugh Jackman was excellent as Wolverine but that has become mostly common knowledge at this point. Halle Berry was good as Storm as was Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde. Kelsey Grammar was a decent Beast. Patrick Stewart was good in his short time as Professor X but the star performance by far was Ian McKellen as Magneto who makes yet another genius performance as he gave in X-Men and X2. The relationship between Charles and Eric was explored more in the beginning of this film which I like and would like to see a more in depth look into. Famke Janssen was very weak as Jean Grey but I feel like she was just directed poorly. Aaron Stanford and Shawn Ashmore were equally awful as polar opposites Pyro and Iceman respectively.
I love the implication of Magneto at the end of the movie. Apart from that however, the story and ending were both pretty weak. One main flaw I can say with this movie and I may be the only one who thinks this but I think that more main characters should have died. For a film called 'The Last Stand' I expected more character deaths and give the film more stakes.
The cinematography was pretty decent all around and I cannot really flaw that.
The effects were mostly good with a few poor looking ones.
The attempts at comedy worked for the most part and this movie displays a good range of mutants and utilises them effectively. The action was pretty mediocre and they spent too much time on a build up that didn't pay off. It attempted a much more dramatic turn but it drastically failed.
The ONE and ONLY reason the climax is set around San Francisco is because of the Golden Gate Bridge scene.
Personally, I really didn't enjoy this movie as much as the others in the franchise but I can see numerous strengths in the movie that made it bearable.
5/10
