X marks the spot -- Great Film.
This film was amazing
because I liked the action but I also managed to squeeze a plot out of
it, a humanistic, exciting plot at that. The first X-Men was good, X-Men
2 was beyond that, X-Men 3 may have lost ground but Wolverine picked up
that ground and then some. It's a sequel that not only surpassed X3 but
is intriguing and well structured.
I've used this colloquialism before but "X marks the spot" and there are plenty of big action scenes throughout this amazing movie that it has to be called spectacular. Wolverine goes ballistic in a good way and the introduction to newcomers Gambit, Wraith and even Wade makes for an intriguing watch. It's action with a nice mix of smarts and fun. I don't understand how anyone can complain about that awesome ending. I guess I don't subscribe to the strict adherence to the source material as law. It more then works as a movie.
