The last stand

Well, let's just say that I hope it really was their last stand (despite of some indications to the opposite - do stay until after the credits) ... I saw X-MEN III with T & P the other day. While I really liked the first two installments of this trilogy, the last stand was a bit of a disappointment. Story line and effects are grandiose, of course (amazing how the bad guys enter Alcatraz), but the characters don't really show any more development, even though the challenge to do so would clearly be there. Pity.
