An average final chapter

Rating: 7/10 (31 August 2006)

A mutant cure! A great way to end such a successful franchise as X MEN. However with Singer busy planing the return of the man of steel X MEN was left in a not so safe pair of hands. While watching it I felt like standing up and yelling "can't you just slow down!" X3 is so rushed, which does hook you, but it does not give the old characters time to neither exit in style nor say much, the most underwritten being Rogue. Her lines can be counted using one's fingers, such a shame. The other characters too, apart from Magneto and Wolverine, don't get much screen time whereas the new characters e.g. angel seem pointless. Why bother to introduce new faces when you haven't dealt properly with the already established ones?. The new characters could have worked if more time was devoted to them. Not just an hour and forty eight minutes. Other than that Mystique has been with Magneto for years and he abandons her just like that after in fact having saved him? This was probably done to save time!
As far as the action goes the film could not be more satisfactory but in terms of plot and depth it's not at all equal of the first two movies.
