X-Men 3 (2006)

Disappointing conclusion to the trilogy, and after X-Men 2 showed such promise. This film confuses doing a lot of stuff, killing off characters, getting ride of their powers, drastically changing the political condition of the mutants, with logical character development and emotional power. The whole plot, giving the mutant characters a chance to give up their powers and become “normal” is an interesting philosophical conundrum (would you give up a vital part of your identity to fit in?), but is also cope-out to all that came before. The only real good thing to come out of this film is my first expose to the intriguing looking (and now rather successful) actress Ellen Page. Poor.
