Amazing! Well worth the wait.

Rating: 10/10 (25 May 2006)

Like most X-Fans i've been waiting for this movie ever since seeing the phoenix in the water at the end of X2. Recently people who attended press screenings and various critics etc. had given this film a lot of flak which upon viewing this excellent film I can only suppose is due to their dislike of Brett Ratner. I'm not a fan of Brett's previous work but he obviously wanted to stay close to the source material- both the comics and previous films. The film itself is full of wonderful set pieces, fantastic special effects and great acting. James Marsden, who plays a small yet important part gives a great performance as the grief stricken cyclops.All the other actors are excellent including Ellen Page who gives a standout performance as Kitty Pride. The film is the best in the trilogy and combines action and emotion seamlessly. If I had one problem it was the fact that Collusus' hair was silver. But what are you gonna do...10/10
