X-Men the Last Stand

X-Men the Last Stand

As the last movie of the supposedly trilogy of X-Men movies, it tries too hard but ultimately fails achieving one supreme goal: failure to entertain. There are a lot of ideas that are thrown together hastily that offers no payoff despite all the "sacrifices" made by the beloved X-Men characters.

If you were expecting Wolverine kicking major ass, as aluded in the trailer, you'll be disappointed. Do you remember the awesome fight of him and Deathstrike in X-Men 2? The sacrifice of Jean Grey to save other X-Men against the mighty tide? Magneto lifts Golden Gate bridge, but it's not awe-inspiring as his escape from his plastic prison.

Sure, it made a boat load of money over last weekend, there WILL be more X-Men, but don't expect an entertaining action movie for your discerning tastes.
