X-men 3 : The Last Stand. One of the most anticipated movies of the year.

Summary:

The X-Men, mutant heroes sworn to defend a world that hates and fears them, are back! This time, with the help of new recruits The Beast and Angel, they must face evolution itself in the form of their former teammate, Jean Grey. Possessed with the cosmic power of the Dark Phoenix, the resurrected Jean Grey has become a danger to herself, her mutant comrades, and the entire planet. To stave off this imminent threat to humanity, a potential cure is discovered and processed to treat -- and ultimately eliminate -- genetic mutations, once and for all. Now, as the battle lines are drawn, the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier, must contend with both Jean Grey's world-consuming powers, as well as the malevolent Brotherhood, a band of powerful mutants organized under Xavier's former ally, Magneto.

Some of you guys may be wondering how come I got to watch the show this early.

Well, thanks to Gadiy, I got free tickets to the premiere yesterday at GSC 1 Utama (Wednesday)

Woohoo!!!Thanks so much Gadiy!

Anyways, to me, X-men 3 is probably one of the best movie I've watched this year! The action scenes were nothing less than stunning. There were some good actors, such as the guy who played small kid angel , and also professor Xavier.

I enjoyed the show alot but I think it's biggest problem is that it ended way too early! They could have spent more times on some scenes and added some stuff here and there to tie up some loose knots.

And the other thing is, some parts of the show were just too dissapointing.

For example, (SPOILERS)

Right at the end of the show where wolverine was slowly approaching his crush, pheonix/Jean (she is one of the good X-men who turned bad and also the big bad final boss in this movie). It was cool the way phoenix/Jean tried to destroy him by tearing up his flesh. But since wolverine has this auto-healing thing in his genes, he practically had his body teared apart and rebuilt all the way to Phoenix/Jean. The tension was building up. Everyone were at the edge of this breath-taking scene. I'm sure everyone in the cinema was urging Wolverine to reach Phoenix/Jean. And when he finally does, everyone was expecting some emotional scene were Phoenix/Jean goes all lovey-dovey about Wolverine and some heart-touching flash-backs.

But all we got was ,

Phoenix/Jean : Save me!

Wolverine : *Stabs*

*Phoenix/Jean dies*

Scene ends!

Zhar Dou!

And the other wierd scene was when there were 4 bad mutants surrounding the head scientist. This scientist acutally invented this cure to make the mutants normal. And of course, the bad guys didn't like this. Anyways, they surrounded him and asked : Are you the one who invented the cure ? Well, obviously the bad guys didn't know whether they got the right scientist. But then, the scientist like gong-gong like that go answer : Yes, I am.

Haissehhhhh.

It's like handing yourself to the enemy. Enemy surrounding you still want to give them another reason to kill you meh?

And last but not least, I was dissapointed that Magneto depended too much on Phoenix/Jean to complete his goals. I was hoping for some good planning ala Mission Impossible style before Magneto rushing to kill everyone.

But, the show was still good. Great action scenes. There's a few very emotional scenes. Enough to keep you entertained for 1 hour and 45 minutes.

I liked the way the did the Phoenix/Jean Vs Xavier scene.

I like Phoenix/Jean evil look.

I liked the action scenes

I like Kitty Pryde

I would like more Kitty Pryde (Who can resist Kitty Pryde in a black leather suit?)

I liked the way Xavier's school was going down, and everyone splitting up. But in the ending coming together to fight.

I DIDN'T like the way Wolverine went Rambo all by himself into Magneto's "Base"

I didn't like the way they fought Magneto

I didn't like the way Storm used her powers. She seems pretty weak in this movie, but actually she is one of the stronger characters in the comic.

I didn't like the way Rouge ended up.

And about the ending. Haisehhhhhh. I was expecting much more to be honest. After watching the whole thing, you get this "Huh-so-thats-the-end-already-bu-bu-but-but *Tooooottttttttttt* ".

Its still a good movie so go ahead and watch it.

So what's my rating?

Lets just say if I was given a choice between this show and M.I.3, I woudn't know which one to choose.

So, X-men 3 = M.I.3

But, V for Vandetta > X-men 3/M.I.3

And, Kitty Pryde + Phoenix/Jean > Everyone else!

There you have it! Now, go watch X-men 3!

(And Thanks again Gadiy!)

Ermm, to all those who got spoiled by reading this, sorry arrr. Next time read from the top.
