X-men 3: The Last Stand Mini-review
Verdict: 2/5
Watch it for: Kelsey Grammer (Fraiser), Special Effects, Magneto 0wning Scene (TM), "I'm the Juggernaut Bitch!" meme reference.
Don't watch it for: Coherent story, "Shadowcat" screen time, memorable movie.
Though all the stuff of a mutant cure makes a very nice story, just that they HAD to kill off characters.
The Good: Story is an excellent piece of writing. Action sequences still got the punch, especially the one involving Magneto, but Phoenix is a little over exaggerated and over the top. Action scenes fairly interesting and varied. Iceman.
The Bad: Wolverine's lines have no weight, an entire school of X-men yields a team of 6, you do the math. They killed *SPOILER*Cyclops and Professor X! All the curing business may be a good plot device, but don't hurt our favourite characters!
The Ugly: Rogue. No Gambit.
Summary: Low score because Cyclops and Jean Luc-Picard dies. Gambit would make a fine addition, and 'killing off' Mystique is the worst, idea, ever. Corny lines all over the place kills brain cells.
Postscript: Hope the blog service move is successful.
