X-Men: The Last Stand?
OK I have had time to decompress from the last X-Men and I have to say "It ain't that bad." I warn - spoilers lie ahead.
The storyline is actually a pick and choose from some old favorites over the past thirty years, melding Mr. Claremont's masterful "Dark Phoenix Saga" with a dash of the equally brilliant but too new to be revered mutant cure story by Grant Morrison.
From the dark Phoenix perspective purists will be sorely disappointed as it is simply protrayed as a dark manifestation of Jean Grey's personality. All of that creator and destroyer of the universe perpetually hunted by the Shi'ar empire is left in the anals of geekdom.
The mutant cure story also deviates from the comic, but it is done tastfully.
Mutants die. Now we all no that Jean Grey dies and resurrects herself more often than Liza Minelli's career, but a few other mutants that generally keep their pulse bite the dust (literally) in this film as well. Which despite my love of the comic book I'm OK with.
They are trying to end the saga, so the deaths were fitting and I have to say a bit sad. Not sad in that they died , but they finally introduced some new charachters taht I would actually like to see again.
Kelsey Grammer did a bang up job as The Beast. i actually would have liked to have seen more of him. I have to concur with our phanton Nerd that Angel was under utilized and was there to show us how smooth CG man flight has become.
All in all it was an entertaining two hours. I'm not thrilled with how tehy left the storyline open. Bringing in Moira McTaggert and her body hopping son was clever, but fully flushed out.
I'm guessing now that the movie broke every record in the book tehy may have to lean on that crutch a little more than thought.

Yes, it broke records, alright. It had the biggest second-weekend decline ever for a Memorial Day tentpole film, dropping 67% the following weekend.
Ouch.
Ouch.
