Best sci-fi/action movie i've seen in a long time

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2006)

I watched it about 6 hours ago and was really expecting a great trilogy, better than the first two and after months of waiting i can say it was worth the wait. The film was excellent for various reasons: 1. the acting 2. the action, which was non-stop through the film 3. the full blown special effects which after seeing a lot of big movies eg. Lord of the rings and Harry Potter was outstanding and the best i've ever seen 4. the drama and 5. the never ending surprises and heart jerking scenes throughout. Although there were many deaths of main characters i feel they were a contribution to the story except the professors death which i still am shocked about, even though that scene was awesome. Let me say that the acting blew me away Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen made this film top grade in acting not forgetting the other great actors Patrick Stewart, Ian Mckellen, Ellen Page, Ben Foster etc. I never expected Jean to be that powerful, she was scary and unbelievably cool at the same time. The film went from strength to strength from the fast start into the story, first big shock( Xavier's death), to the explosion of action at Alcatraz leading to a dramatic, powerful and tear jerking final confrontation between Logan and Jean, that was the best scene in the film, still makes me cry when i think about it but it was definitely a great ending ' YOU WOULD DIE FOR THEM' -JEAN ' NO I WOULD DIE FOR YOU' - LOGAN then he tells her he loves her and kills her for the greater good. To sum up one of the best films i've seen in a long time.
