X-Men: The Last Stand

It's a full-fledged mutant jamboree, but one that blunts thematic and character development in favor of narrative expediency.

That pretty much sums up my feeling about the movie. I liked it better than this reviewer, enough to recommend, as it hit most of my fun-with-mutants buttons. Thematic and character development on this scale with this many characters is better served with an ongoing series, anyway. For example, I like what they did with Kitty Pryde's powers and her various tricks, but we never got to know her as a person. The effects are very good and I really liked the character designs (and any critism about characters, such as Kitty, not matching their counterparts in the comics (or X-Men Evolution or ...) can be left at the door). The film juxtaposes missed opportunities with some obvious and clunky writing (Magneto's last words in the film are painfully cliché), but I enjoyed it.
