the LAST one wasn't outSTANDing

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2006)

Please, excuse my awful English  it's not even my second speaking language. I just can't help sharing my feelings. I've got a kind of rule. Be always prepared for a crap when going to see new-substitutionary-director-of-old-great-movie-sequel. It always comes with a pleasant surprise. Last Stand simply couldn't be compared to Singer's two movies. It's not a saga or drama anymore. It's a nice, full-action-packed comedy. I laugh a lot. But I also was very annoyed with two moments:  Rattner made Wolverine to cry both times Xavier and Phoenix-Grey died. It's stupid! There would be more drama in those scenes, if Wolverine cut professor's empty chair in pieces! Crying beast? It's a bul---it!  "There are no mutants higher than 2 level, except you two" (Callisto to Magneto and Pyro, I've heard it in Russian only, so translation may be incorrect). What a stupid idea to mix x- men universe with old role-play-computer-games classification? It's very annoying, really. Soundtrack was also poor. Everything else was not that bad. I really like it. I expected less.
