A worthy ending (?) to an epic tale

Rating: 9/10 (24 May 2006)

(Mild spoilers) OK, now they have a cure for the X-gene. Good for some. Bad for others. Well, as long as nobody forces anyone to be "cured", it's cool, aight? Nuh-uh. Of course, somebody gets shot with the cure, against his or her will. And this of course turns another somebody into the raving lunatic we've all come to know (and love) as Dr Magneto.
Magneto sees in the cure an urge from all humans to equalize the society, and mistrusts both the pharmaceutical company who developed the drug and the government. He starts to rally mutants against the society, and uses violence to show that no mutants may be forcibly cured.
Evil spawns evil, or however it goes. Mutants are soon pitted against humans, and the X-Men are of course caught in between.
This flick doesn't have the same momentum as did the first two, but it succeeds in closing the chronicle in a worthy way. Watching Ms Janssen squirming around the observation table with Mr Jackson, was worth the admission price all by itself. Add to that the fact that we all get a lot of action, laughs and tears for our money, and the success is a fact! :) My rating: 8,7 / 10
