A disappointing third entry that isn't as bad as its reputation would suggest but certainly isn't great either.

Rating: 6/10 (25 April 2018)

Another example of the third being the weakest, 'X-men: The Last Stand (2006)' is no where near as good as the two films that preceded it. It feels like it was rushed into, and through ,production simply to cash-in on the franchise's success, with little thought given to the status of the screenplay. Still, it has some good moments sprinkled throughout and a tight enough pace that it's never boring. It definitely isn't as bad as some would have you believe. It's just disappointing, given that the prior title had bucked the trend of sequels never being as good as the first. This one just cemented the fact that the third is usually the worst. 6/10
