X-Men: The Last Stand

Enjoyed it overall. Though had mixed feelings about the deaths. Not actually happy that the main characters died. Brett Ratner did a good job in taking over from Bryan Singer. The film still has the same feel and look as the first two. Only wished that the new characters could be developed more. Here's hoping for another sequel!

Didn't actually remember the original. That said, i do feel sumwhat satisfied after watching the movie. Maybe because i practically jumped out of my seat in one of the scenes. It was a good scare. (the last time i terkejut like that was masa tengok Jurasic Park II). It managed to create a certain creepy mood. P.S: proud of the fact that i watched it on 06.06.06.

Having read the book, i find this movie: average. I don't think this movie will be able to stand by itself without the book. Ron Howard didn't actually do a great job in bringing the book to the screen. I find the movie lacked suspense and the story didn't focus on the 'sacred feminity' angle. Lets hope Angels and Demons will be better.

Rating: B
