X-Men

X2: X-Men United

X-Men: The Last Stand

 

Got the blu-ray box set at great price used, so did the trilogy back to back tonight with my roommate. 

 

Part 3 was such a let down. It had good moments, but... Oh forget it!

It was utter crap.  That was the mutant vs. human war? And what was with the sudden day to night time change thing in the final act? Was something major cut?  Why the heck did they kill all the great characters off (or take away their power) before the final battle???  The end could have been filled with such great emotion, but it was pissed away. We got a lame final battle with a bunch of  B-class mutants that we have no emotional connection to at all. Juggernaut's helmet looked so fake and plastic. The actor was weak. The first scene of the X-men fighting the sentinel had such promises, but disappointed quickly with the reveal that it was just a Star Trek holodeck rip off simulation. The casting of Beast was the only thing done with any shred of creative thinking, and or any shred of respect in keeping faithful with the original source material.
