An amazing trilogy end

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2006)

I went to watch this movie with huge anticipation and was not disappointed with the outcome. Right from the start i was intrigued as to the background history of some of the main characters and the return of jean grey/dark phoenix. The action scenes were fantastic, especially the scene in Jeans home, which i found both moving and powerful for all those involved. The movie has two story lines, that of the mutant cure and of the rise of dark phoenix/jean grey, and the effects it has on those once close to her, especially wolverine. Both are explored to a appropriate degree and i was not disappointed. All the main X men from the previous two movies had good sized roles, including Halle Berry's Storm who comes into her own in this movie. In my opinion it's Famke Janssen's Dark phoenix that steals the movie with her amazing power she casts throughout and the emotion and depth her character shows. The movie has stayed faithful to the comics and the dialogue is sharp and witty. One of the biggest letdowns is Vinnie Jones as juggernaut in what i can only cast as the worst screen performance of the year! This movie will thrill you and leave you wanting more, it's a fantastic conclusion to an amazing trilogy, with an intriguing ending with one of the characters.
