Last night I had the pleasure of not only seeing my brother graduate (which need it’s own post), but we celebrated by seeing X-Men 3 afterwards. Here is my spoiler free review.

Being the third movie in a trilogy(?), The Last Stand can’t help but be compared to the previous two films. I don’t know if it was the script or change in directors, but the new movie doesn’t live up to the quality of the first two films. The special effects are well done and the acting is fine, but the storyline is very A.D.D. Many new characters are introduced, and the film attempts to give them all a little face time, but you never learn enough about any of them. I found myself not even being sure of their names even at the end of the movie. I chalk this up to the script having waaay too much story to cover.

Don’t get me wrong, X-Men 3 is still worth the price of admission, but I think it’s the weakest of the three.
