The first thing I have to say is WOW! I loved X-Men and X-Men 2: X-Men United, but THIS one blew the first two out of the water. The special effects in this one are absolutely amazing!

Now if you’ve seen X2, you already knew there would be a sequel because as they’re panning over Alkali Lake, you see the shape of a bird coming up under the water. So X-Men - The Last Stand was highly anticipated. It took them so long to make it though, that a lot of people I spoke to felt they’d never make the movie. But if you’ve seen X3, it’s hard to believe this was “The Last Stand” as there was something at the end that made me curious.

Of course, if you have the DVD as I do, and have looked at the alternate endings, I think they tried to make an ending to tie into the (hopefully) upcoming Wolverine movie. I’ve heard Hugh Jackman was quite excited to do the Wolverine movie and I’m hoping that if it truly is in the works, that it comes out soon. Can you tell he’s my favorite character? LOL

The sad part was the loss of 2 characters. I really wish they could have been a part of the whole movie, as it just didn’t seem like X-Men without them. But the addition of Beast was a nice one. They still forgot Gambit though. Go figure. *sigh*

I’d give this movie 5 out of 5 stars.
