X-Men: The Last Stand

Directed by: Brett Ratner
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen

A more appropriate title would have been X-Men: The Last One Night Stand because it left me feeling dirty and violated. I didn't think it was possible to screw up a franchise that has millions of fans, a built-in audience and Ian Mckellen as a super villian but Brett Ratner pulls it off beautifully. I screened this one for the monkeys (they had also seen the first two vastly superior films) and they proceeded to hurl feces at the screen. One of them drooled on his typewriter and came up with: alkf920987 aw'''#. I took this to be close enough to the actual script, so it scores a one. Barely.

Score: 1/12 monkeys
