X3: X-Men: The Last Stand

-Plot-
It has been several months since The X-Men stopped William Stryker, but that victory came at a price, they have lost Jean Gray when she tried to save them from the collapsed reservoir. Scott Summers (Cyclops) is still grieving about her loss. One day, he came out to the place which is where Jean Gray sacrificed herself. Then, Jean Gray appeared right in front of him. Though, it seemed that after that, Scott had disappeared. Meanwhille, the rift between humans and mutants had finally reached the boiling point. When humans discovered what causes humans to mutate, they have found a cure for the mutation. The X-Men were appalled at this idea. It was not long at all until the news about the cure came to Magneto. He decides to organize an army of mutants and wage his war against the humans. Then, it became clear that Jean Gray evolved into the Pheonix, her new mutant powers are so strong that she can not control her own body...



-Review-
It had a decent storyline which is a direct continuation from X2, and had bleak moments interspersed throughout the movie. A cure has been found, extracted from a fellow mutant boy, which the humans offer to the mutants to become normal again. But just what is normal? There are again plenty of set action pieces, some of which will disappoint, like the beginning which somewhat reeked from a bad
Terminator setting, but on the other end of the spectrum, the Grey House battle is the best among all, beating even the finale. It's full of concurrent action, tense moments, loads of special effects with a dash of character development. In X3, it also show the deep friendship that Magneto has toward Professor X as one part where Pyro say he will kill Professor X if Magneto wants him to but Magneto does not seem to like it he feel that the dead of Professor X is his greatest regret. Overall the movie was enjoyable, if you have watch the first 2 movie you should watch this.
