X-Men 3: The Last Stand

Ok. I just got back from watching this movie. This is where the summer starts. The story is quite simple - a cure for mutants is out and Magneto raises an army to fight that, while our X-Men try and fight him. I could go on a lil' bit more but then I would give out the spoilers. Bryan Singer left to take up Superman Returns and Brett Ratner tried his hand at this part of the X-men trilogy. Well to be fair, the special effects are quite good and makes for great viewing at the theatre. But I would have liked to see him develop the characters a bit more. Some are wasted like Rogue. Storm and Wolverine while playing the major roles, look like they are doing cameos. This one is all about the Phoenix (the split side to Jean Grey) and that is something that Ratner could have used to really give us a great movie. He disappoints there. But overall, this is quite a good summer movie - with the popcorn and the soda and your friends. Advice is go to a theatre with a big screen with DTS, Dolby Surround. Imax would be perfect for this. It isn't out here on that, else that would have been my first preference. just for your information, we had to go another theatre as most shows are sold out. And I went for the same show for which I went for Da Vinci. Look out for the box office results after 1 week. This is going to be on top. Go watch it.
