X-Men 3: The Last Stand
A quite enjoyable film, although not up to the standards of the first two. This series remains behind only Spiderman in my favorite comic-book movie list. The conflicting personalities, the attempt at character development, and the appeal to tolerance mean this film is deeper than perhaps could be expected.
It’s not without its flaws, however. I’d like to point out what disappointed me most: the way Magneto goes down in the end. It’s similar to what happened to Anakin in Star Wars: ROTS. It makes me believe there’s a need for writers who can conceive truly epic, satisfying final confrontations.
Rating: Good.
