Veronica Magazine ( my source which I can now reveal ) gave X3 a big fat thumbs up! 4 out of 5 stars. I havent read the article myself yet but it sure is promising. Why?
They rated the X-MEN Trilogy movies :
X1 = 3/5
X2 = 4/5
X3 = 4/5 "X-CELLENT!"
I will post a translated version soon. Cheers
X-Men: The Last Stand
Sciencefiction with : Hugh Jackman , Patrick Stewart , Halle Berry , Famke Janssen, Ian McKellen.
By : Brett Ratner / In Cinema's : MAY 25th
Plot : The peace between mutant and man is heavily disrupted when a cure has been developed to cure Mutants. Magneto gathers an army to destroy the supply to which the X-MEN respond.
There are a few superhero movies better then the X-MEN series. Part 1 and 2 , who are already 6 and 3 years old , are registered as two of the most succesfull comic-book-to-film movies ever. Ofcourse that puts alot of pressure on the shoulders of the creators of Part 3 , which really appears to be the LAST X-MEN film. Especially director Brett Ratner who took over from Bryan Singer could feel the heat underneath his feet. Ratner is not unknown when it comes to expanding well known movie-franchises. He did it before with the Hannibal-cycle , Red Dragon. Not very convincing though and thats something X-FANS got worried about. A correct feeling? No , although we got to say this third movie doesnt come close to its predecessors. In terms of action this movie has it all : the story got plenty of space for neck-breaking and spectacular mutant activities with a San Francisco qlimax. Even the cast still enjoys making this movie. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine still hasnt lost his "Clint Eastwood" style and Famke Janssen shows some true power as the dangerously reborn Jean Grey and Ian McKellen only needs to twitch his lip in order to make Magneto shine on the big-screen. This is why its a real shame the scenario doesnt give more space to these interesting characters. With almost every known mutant from the previous movies and alot of new faces it has become a fight for survival and ... there really isnt a winner at all. Newcomer Angel flaps his wings through the movie and Beast and Juggernaut leave you hungry for more. Fortunatly the writers did have the guts to clean out the known mutants ; not everyone survives till the end. We DO advice you to stay till the end credits. Even if this is the last X-MEN , the series keep evolving. Watch Veronica Magazine in the future for the upcoming Wolverine-movie which is coming!

I was expecting something negative.
