It lacks as much of the subtlety and character that the first two films had, but the spectacle is still something to see all these years later. Jean and Xavier having a psychic battle in Jean's childhood home? Awesome. Magneto assembling an army and moving the Golden Gate bridge? Awesome. It's a mixed bag if ever there was one, but I'm able to see the good now more than the bad. But then there are also moments that are pretty stupid, like Juggernaut's dopey costume or the idiotic love triangle with Rogue, Bobby, and Kitty. That problem aside, there are moments in the movie that are a lot of fun and quite stunning. The Cure story and the Dark Phoenix story should have been two separate movies, both had enough material for their own movies and were completely separate events, and with the focus more on the Cure, Jean Grey gets pushed to the sidelines. Its biggest problem is that it's cluttered. But looking back at it now, it's not that bad. For a long time I hated this movie for not matching the tone of the first two X-Men movies.
