Ms. Mysterious has seen X Men: the last stand!
...And amazingly it didn't suck.
What I expected to be a terrible movie, turned out to be a very entertaining action thing to watch. (Don't worry, I won't spoil you anything, you may keep reading)
The movie is no piece of art, and to be honest, Bret Rattner is not a very good director. Yeah, he makes the movie work, even though they have like a thousand sub plots and new mutants, and yeah, he delivers great action sequences (thank god he's not into the camera shaking mode just like JJ Abrams in MI3). You can see that Rattner really did the best he could. Yet, with another director (Bryan Singer for example) and more time to develop a better script, this would have been the movie we all hoped it would be.
Having said that... I had a lot of fun watching it.
As expected, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan are just perfect in their roles. They are true gods. Period. And the opening scene where they appear 20 years younger..Wow. Those CGI guys are true masters. Anyway, Hugh Jackman and Famke Janssen are also pretty convincing in their roles, delivering convincing emotional moments which will make you want to kill someone since this is the last movie of the saga. Damn.
So, yeah, I liked the movie. The action is great. Performances are pretty good. The saga closes well. And yeah, I'll see it again. And dammit I want more X-men movies!!! Who knows? Maybe 20 years from now they go on and make another one...
....
*dream on Ms.Mysterious*...
So watch it, and decide for yourself. (Don't forget to stay 'till the credits end, if you want to watch that extra scene). It's time to make your choice, sinners! Do you like Xmen 3? Do you hate it? It's time to make a stand...
