FIRST IMPRESSIONS
This one's a mixed bag – both in terms of quality and as a jumble of storylines. For a start, it was great to see the Beast embodied perfectly – though it's never explained how he became the Beast in between film two and this one. As for the Phoenix… at least the character's reinvention still fits in with what we've seen in the previous movies. A lot of people complain that nothing more is revealed about Wolverine's past, but I always felt the second movie revealed all he needed to know. But the movie's main detractor, besides the truly awful CGI, is that, just like the first movie, the final climax doesn't feel nearly grand enough, especially compared to the second movie. To sum it up, it's definitely the weakest of the series, but not as bad as people make it out to be.
