Not Bad. Not Great. Better than expected from Ratner.

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2006)

I'll admit I went to this film with lower expectations. I'm a Bryan Singer fan and I wasn't sure what to expect from the man that did Rush Hour and The Family Man. I was impressed though. It was not Singer and shouldn't be taken as trying to be something it's not, but as an action film and (I assume) end of the series it was good.
**SPOILERS FROM MOVIE AND EXTRA SCENE AFTER CREDITS** The end is where I ran into trouble with it. I liked how Logan and Jean's relationship was built on passion, hence, she couldn't kill him as he approached. Magneto at the end, however, that just seemed to scream "LET'S MAKE A SEQUEL" which I didn't really like. I would have much rather seen that Xavier was alive and then seen Magneto playing chess at the end with him and droping the part about Magneto getting his powers back.
