The goods keep on coming.

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2006)

For anyone still holding their breath, you can give a sigh of relief, for X Men 3 doesn't disappoint. Nor does it exceed expectations. Similar to the Matrix series and numerous action films these days, X Men 3 suffers from a common sickness, symptoms include a great premise for the story, in this case intolerance and prejudice, and too much action resulting in a lost opportunity of greatness. X Men's notion of social exclusion and intolerance could have been a vehicle for social commentary, instead of the action orientated film that it is. This balance is a rare thing to achieve, it was achieved with Batman Begins. Yet X Men 3 is not a disappointment, unlike the Matrix Series with crashed and burned, the X Men Series has remained steadily good and X Men 3 is no exception.
