A fun movie- more than you can expect from an action flick

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2006)

I went in to the theater feeling forced, thinking only of the miserable reviews that this film got. Action films seem less and less interesting too, which foreshadowed my view of the film. Yet, I found X-Men 3 quite entertaining, with all the action sequences (amazing things made to seem like reality), delectably evil villains, and interesting subtext and room for discussion. The concept of a cure is quite interesting and sparks an interesting debate, while the film's cartooniness is actually well done. I could not expect character development when seeing this movie, but there were some interesting happenings. They were not good characters, but good caricatures. All in all, it put me back into the mood of seeing action movies because it's an exception to the usual mold.
