The ending of Xmen 2 obviously hinted of Phoenix rising in the third one. Phoenix in this movie though is nowhere near the Phoenix I saw in the cartoon series. It's a total bummer she ends up killing Cyclops in the first quarter of the movie.
Now Storm looked like a woozy in the 2nd movie that it's delightful to see her fury in this installment ... we finally see a Storm that deserves to command the Xmen with the departure of Professor Xavier. Ah yes, Professor X dies too ... although that scene after the credits gives us hope of his return.
An extraordinarily big number of mutants were packed into this movie. Some had good exposure, others were just for show. The scenes with the young Angel were good, but if one is to expect real action from the adult Angel, then you'd be disappointed. Rogue didn't do much either. Wolverine only has one thing on his mind for half of the movie... get to Jean Grey. It's almost like a male dog who could think of nothing but get near a bitch in heat. Oops... sorry if the words shock the prim ones, but I couldn't think of anything better to describe it.
Overall, the movie's entertaining. I must admit though that it has less impact on me compared to the first two movies.
