Well fans, that time has finally arrived for those living in North America. “X-Men: The Last Stand” opens today in theaters all across America and Canada and it is expected to set new records in attendance and box office receipts. Many European viewers have already been treated to a first look at the supposed last film in the franchise to feature all the primary cast members.
With the financial success of “Ice Age 2: The Meltdown” and the unprecendented reception that “The Da Vinci Code” has received from the worldwide movie going audience, 2006 is already looking pretty good for filmmaking. Now, with “X-Men: The Last Stand” and “Superman Returns” quickly on its heels, movie moguls have got to be leaning back in their overstuffed leather chairs and sucking on those big Cuban cigars with a glee they haven’t relished for several years.
I saw the midnight show of this and was really surprised how much I liked it. Great action, great special effects – just a great ride of a movie.

The reviews havent been great… but I havent seen it myself yet. I must admit to enjoying but not being overawed by the first two. My big problem with the whole thing is that you never get enough time with any of the characters. I was saying to my partner the other day how it would be so much better if they had made this as a super-high budget weekly serial because frankly, it needs much more time to develiop the characters and build a strong clear storyline. They try and squash too much in!
Don’t forget to stay till after the credits are finished to see the teaser!! But if you missed it, you can find in on google video
Teaser?!?! What Teaser!?! Dam it.
I thought the first movie was much better. I also found myself siding more and more with Magneto in this film…that is, until he said “Let the Pawns go first” then i switched back. It was an ok movie. (Love Juggernaut though) and Hugh Jackman is lovely…
After the credits was a short teaser. I found a really bad copy of it on google video if you search x men 3 end. Here is the link:
