X-men III [/movies]

Went to see X-men III on Friday night, and boy what a load. Pacing problems, bad scripting, the usual shameless hooks at the end, and the action wasn't even that great. There are a few surprises in the movie if you think you know what's going to happen, but they're mostly liberties taken with it being the "last" stand. And yet before and after the credits roll they have no less than two hook scenes. Hmm.

The thing is that this storyline includes the most non-action scenes of the three movies. With the whole cure concept, they really bring the x-men as parable concept to the forefront. But even as they force hard decisions on the mutants, I found it impossible to feel for any of them, the writing is just that unmoving.

Three out of five of us came out disappointed, so I'm giving this a 6/10.
