One of the biggest crimes of both X-Men: The Last Stand and Spiderman 3 (which was released a mere year later) is not that they were both wretched (which they were) but that they were both sequels to two of the best comic book movies to date.
X2 and Spiderman 2, in my opinion, are still the benchmark to which superhero movies should look (Batman is not a superhero before anyone starts throwing his name around here). What makes X-Men: The Last Stand so bad though, is that it's worse than Spiderman 3. Much worse.
My abiding memory of the film is Vinnie Jones running through some walls, and then Sir Ian McKellen chucking the Golden Gate bridge around in a coquettish fashion. Trust me, that makes the film sound a whole lot more interesting than it is. It's rubbish.
