The End (except for Spin-Off Movies)

Rating: 8/10 (12 June 2006)

The "Last" Stand? X-Men 3 was an excellent movie visually and storyline wise, but being around so many self-described "Comic book geeks" they have led me to believe that since they deviated from the original storyline (there's one?) This movie should be blasted. I will not go into spoilers but with the twists and turns this movie took a lot of things were quite different then what should have happened. I enjoyed the movie but was a little unhappy at the fact that in the trailers that were shown on TV, in the movies, and on the internet the one scene I was waiting for was in the beginning and not part of the end. Of course it was Wolverine surrounded by flames trying to light a cigar. (Cool) The absence of the large robots used to subdue mutants was another point that made me unhappy as well. Plus where is Gambit? Go see the movie but wait to buy it when the special edition DVD comes out.
