Like they did at the beginning of this movie...pfft!  Though I have to say, it looked pretty good on McKellan.  Stewart's CGI youth-mask, on the other hand, could have used some tweeking.  Just too much flesh on that head to de-age every bit of it convincingly.

I had to sit through some audio problems when I saw it in a theater.

Cool special effects is not enough to make a movie great, or good for that matter.  The story was pieced together like a vase that had fallen on the floor, broke into a million pieces, and glued together by a five year old.

I was very disappointed.

I should've waited for the DVD.

After all these reviews, I am just gonna wait for a DVD. And then I'm gonna rent it. Not buy.

Better than the first, but not as good as the second. Lots of crappy dialogue too, but great action scenes.

I thought it was very entertaining, though I did have problems with

-All the extra mutants (especially that stupid Prince lookalike who could destroy guns by clapping, or whatever)
-The 'witty' one-liners that remind the audience of everyone's powers ("STORM, blah blah blah WEATHER CHANGES blah blah! hahaha!")
-No character development whatsoever

I did think a few things were awesome though, like

-Phoenix's amazing displays of power
-The bridge scene
-Wolverine
-Ian McKellan

That said I didn't like it as much as the first two movies, and as awesome as Phoenix was, I'm disappointed with how neglected she was overall.

Well loved the first movie but the second did nothing for me and now the last stand was just terrible. Talk about desprete or what. All it was, was a big battle between humans and mutants. Not like any kid in the world knows how its going to turn out. Well you can see another movie coming out. Even though it's the 'Last Stand' I can see another one with about 20 new characters. It will be called 'X-men: Last Stand part 2' or somthing.

I really liked this one. The second one is still the highlight of the trilogy because I think Brett Ratner and the writers tried to deal with too many characters and wrap up too many storylines in like an hour and a half. They should definately leave it at this, seeming how many characters either ended up dead or completely powerless. X-Men 4 I think it will be tricky getting some of the characters back to where they were at the beginning of this one, unless the cure is only temporary or something.

It was pretty good, but not great. I wasn't disappointed though.


Cheers, Chism.

This for me was the low point of the trilogy.
No Gambit, as promised since X2.
Lack of respect for Cyclops.
Too much Wolverine (taking Scott's place in the Phoenix Saga)
Which also meant other characters like Angel got a useless amount of screentime.
Cheesy dialogue... Juggernaut especially.
And also, the scene after the credits. It could have been better... Cyclops being shown alive or in a coma would have been much better.
But overall, it doesn't create the emotion that the first movie, and most definitely the second movie established. Hopefully X4 will be able to go back and create the feelings made with X2, and it better have Gambit in!

If you listen to the DVD commentary when Magneto and the gang are saving Mystique the one cell was going to be Gambit but they didn't want to have too many characters in it.

If you watch the Magneto ending where his powers are coming back it makes me think that Rogue and every other mutant will get them back as well. Contradicts the entire plot.

WHo knows if they will ever make another (I heard 2009 which is late and pointless) Screw Wolverine and Magneto's single films... I just do not care for those two characters enough to give them any more money.

Big mistake on not making a sequel right away to answer those questions. If Spiderman 3 does it, we riot.
