Good, yet devastating movie!

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2006)

i went to the cinema today with a mood for action, graphics, and lots of fun. i got lots of the former.... and non of the latter. i had no idea of what is coming and i was in it for a real real shock!
movie's pace was rapid and captivating. there was no abstract or words of wisdom there... may be a sentence or two to quote, but that is it. some jokes were embedded here and there.... but i just couldn't laugh. fights ended quickly.... and things moved fast, in a direction i would have never anticipated.
the new director did reasonably well in maintaining emotions and attitude of most characters from part one and two. however, i really didn't like the rapid and blurry movement of the camera in action sequences. there wasn't much of choreographed fights.... and no true duels.
the make up was fantastic....everyone looked exactly like the comics especially beast. the cast did well, Logan glittered, as expected, and was the spine for this movie.
all in all; this movie was nice, worth watching in the cinema and the DVD is a must have. i believe that it should have been a little longer though to give more weight to the main characters in the finale.
