Best of the trilogy, but nothing to write home about. It reached its potential in this "we have to look modern so we all gotta wear black suits" vision of X-Men, now please, let's put this vision to rest and start anew.

Overplotted, a soulless maze of special effects and relentless action.

Dumb, but good.
