Drive Thru Review

X-Men: The Last Stand - Please tell me this was not really the last stand for this franchise. Please.

I was sad while watching this last night, and it wasn't because of the character deaths; on the contrary, I was sad because I was watching Brett Ratner come very close to killing the entire X-Men series. Who told this guy he knew what he was doing? When I should have been tearing up as people died, I was instead cringing at the awful dialogue and complete lack of character depth and development. When I say I loved the first two movies, I really mean it. This one was a complete clusterf*ck.

There may be a single ray of hope, however. Apparently there is serious talk about an X4 movie, with Bryan Singer back as director. I repeat: Please.
