Rate X-Men: The Last Stand [no spoilers]

[Quasqueton]

I know there's a thread discussing the movie, already, but it's hard to judge the overall rating this gets here. It seems that most people saying "it's good" are just popping in and making one response, but the people who are saying, "it's bad" are saying it numerous times.

So, let's have an official rating thread. And since the other thread has spoilers, let's keep this one free of spoilers for those who are interested to see everyone's rating of the movie, but don't want to be spoiled.

[John Q. Mayhem]

Seven. I thought it was pretty good.

 

[Sir Brennen]

Seven, compared to an 8 and 9 for the first and second movies, respectively.

 

[Henry]

Seven; good summer fare, but not "the seminal hero-movie of the decade," either.

 

[Black Omega]

A seven for me also. Good. Better than some people give it credit for.

 

[Armistice]

A seven from me. I equate it to Terminator 3, better than I thought it was going to be and definitely had its moments. Had all the elements neccessary to become the seminal superhero movie, execution didn't pan that out.

7

My only beef with the movie is that it's too short. 103 mins is just too liitle time for a story with this many angles. Also, movie going audiences have gotten used to longer special effect movies. Hopefully there will be an extended version.

Supposedly the movie was rushed to beat Superman to the theatres. Don't know how true this is.

 

[HalWhitewyrm]

9 from me. I thought it was great, with gutsy storytelling, and a good combination of comic book-ness without getting cartoonish. And lots of mutants laying the smackdown is just cool. It's like The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny - Mutant Edition!

 

[Taelorn76]

I gave it an 8. Better than I thought it would be, and worthy of full price and possibly whatching it a second time.

 

[Aesthetic Monk]

Six. A not-horrible follow-up to X-Men and X2 saved by some good moments, but not enough of them for me. By contrast, I'd give X-Men a 7 and X2 an 8.
