Great movie!

Rating: 8/10 (24 May 2006)

I saw X-Men The Last Stand last night here in Dubai and was completely caught off guard. I won't say that I wasn't expecting much or any of that blah. I went in there with full expectations and I wasn't a bit disappointed. The character development isn't really necessary in the third installment IMHO.
All the characters were emotionally more charged than before. What this movie offers firstly is emotion, which lacked in Singer's 2 previous installments. Secondly, the special and visual effects are jaw dropping. Starting from the scene where Xavier and Eric Lensherr/Magneto (Ian McKellen) appear 20 years younger to the battle scene at the end and throughout, I was glued to my seat.
"Grow those back!" Highly recommended.
