Great visuals and a ton of action, a good summer movie.

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2006)

Being a huge fan of X-men and having watched the first few movies numerous times, I was obviously looking forward to the 3rd installment. I think most people who saw the movie with high expectations were a little let down. The perfect balance that the second film achieved between action and plot was lost here. This one focused mainly on demonstrating the different mutant powers and was filled with some great fight scenes with tons of eye candy. Due to this, character development and plot was somewhat neglected The movie also ended with a lot of unanswered questions, some which hint another installment to the series while others seem to have been overlooked. Overall I gave this movie an 8 for its visuals, new characters and the progression of the series. Its a must watch for fans and an action filled summer movie for the rest. Oh and if you plan to watch the movie, wait for a secret scene after all the credits. I myself, missed it :(
