Spectacular ending of a spectacular trilogy.

Rating: 9/10 (19 July 2006)

I saw the first two "x" movies and they were outstanding, so i wait long and hard for the third one. But the wait was worth it. I think that this movie is more like a climax for the previous two. If you want to get everything from this movie you must see the x-men 1 and 2, because in the third one the story is not so deep and revealing. This movie leans more on special effects, than the characters they are more in the shadow of all that effects. This movie is like battle before the gates of Mordor in the Lord of the Rings 3. So it can't stand alone without the first two. Here you can see the lack of Singer's influence in the story. I'm not saying that Brian Singer would do it better, but he would do it differently. In general, director Brett Ratner did a great job and concluded the trilogy with a special effects dessert in The Last Stand.
