The first X-Men was a little slow at times, but it was necessary because it set up the great storytelling and character development in X2, which probably remains one of my favorite superhero flicks ever.
I haven't seen The Last Stand, but what I've seen isn't making me as excited about seeing it. The recent DVD commercials that scream "DA BIGGEST ACTION! DA BEST SPECIAL EFFECTS!" are just like those sleazy "hot chicks" that love to flaunt their "large assets" at the complete expense of any heart and sincerity--which I find simply disgusting. I haven't seen it yet so I hope that isn't the case for me when I actually see it, but I'm keeping my expectations in check.
