Good movie, BUT not as good as the previous 2

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2006)

As a big fan of the previous X-Men movies, i was quite excited to watch the final movie of the trilogy. And after watching it I was quite disappointed with several reasons. 1 was the lack of character development with the new mutants which included Callisto and Angel. Another disappointment was that Bryan Singer did not direct and write the script for the movie, which would disappoint viewers because the new director would add a "fuzzy" feeling which makes it perfectly obvious that Singer had no participation in the project and made the movie sloppy and often the storyline was rushed. Now I'm not a big fan of the comics, but from the best of my knowledge the storyline with Jean Grey as the Phoenix in my opinion did not help shape the overall plot line of the movie which was the "cure" for mutants. The movie would also disappoint when Cyclops and Professor X would have small parts and would be less significant in the movie, especially Cyclops. Mystique's role as well would be reduced and would be nonexistent in the movie. But the movie didn't completely fail, as it had some success to it as well. For example the rivalry between Pyro and Iceman would be exploited in the movie and eventually both mutants would face off. Pyro was also good to watch as he carried his brash and cockiness personality from part 2 to the part 3. The fighting sequence towards the end of the movie was brilliantly directed as well, and an meaningful ending which involved Magneto was exceptionally coordinated which would lead viewers to ponder if a part 4 would be made. X-Men The Last Stand had some negative and positive points and for that reason I rate it a 7 out 0f 10 stars and overall the movie is worth watching.
