Best of the three

Rating: 8/10 (14 December 2006)

although I am planning to watch one and two again. These are comic books about super heroes, people. The people rating this lower than 5 out of 10 need to stop watching movies altogether for one year -- when they came back they would suddenly be appreciating movies a whole lot more.
I wonder how many viewers consider how difficult it is to create such an FX laden picture. AND to make the story solid and interesting. AND to develop the characters so that we care about them and their arc. This movie did all of that. AND added humor.
Once again 'Picard' is leading the way. I warmed up more to Wolverine's performance in this one as well. Several new characters were introduced without spoiling things and adding new powers of course -- creating a massive amount of CGI expense, yet handled seamlessly.
The twist in this movie is a good plot choice, assisting in concluding the trilogy and providing an 'ultimate threat'.
I only wish there was a true special edition. There is no 2+ disc edition that I know. Oh well, at least I have something to look forward to.
A solid rental and would have been worth a trip to the cinema if I did that more than once a year (Pirates 2 got the nod in 2006).
