For a movie that's called, "X-Men: The Last Stand"...it really doesn't feel like there was much or a "last stand". Just more like a "to be continued", in my opinion. And honestly, it's not the worst X-Men movie, but it really isn't among the best of all the X-Men movies. That honor belongs to Days of Future Past, X2: X-Men United, X-Men: First Class, Deadpool and Logan. Seriously, nobody should say that this movie is better than Deadpool or Logan, if they did, then they have a really poor taste in movies, or a problem.

But anyways, so far the only good things about this movie are Kelsey Grammar as Hank McCoy/The Beast, Magneto lifting the Golden Gate Bridge, the music score (especially the Dark Phoenix's theme music), and I guess the debate for the cure plot was okay.

Now for the bad, the Juggernaut. Dear God.....what were they thinking?! No Nightcrawler in this movie, Prof. X's demise and rebirth, Mystique losing her powers, and of course the elephants in the room....the death of cyclops and the dark phoenix subplot. Seriously, they really should've made that into a movie on its' own instead of trying to tie that together with the "battle for the cure" main story plot of this movie. But, this is what happens when the studios just don't stick with only one story-arc to adapt into an X-Men movie all because they had to rush the productions to get that summer blockbuster release in 2007.

Overall, X-Men: The Last Stand isn't the worst X-Men movie. It's just not really that great, but "meh!" Like I said, I've seen Wolverine Origins and yeah, that is the worst X-Men movie that no one should ever see again.

Yeah, I don't think that "Elektra (2005)" was a very good spin-off movie to begin with. I mean, not once did I actually believe that Jennifer Garner was in fact Elektra Natchios in this movie or in the 2003 Daredevil movie at all. She's just some airhead in a skimpy corset to me. And honestly, her outfit in this movie is ridiculous. Like, this is what they considered to be a cool outfit for a female ninja assassin?! Lame!!!! Never really liked the character of Abby because she was a pain in the neck and I really don't buy Tarrace Stamp's performance as "Stick" in this movie. Lastly, the villains are boring. At least with the 2003 Daredevil movie, it had the Kingpin and Bull's-Eye. But this?! We got the actor who played Shang Tsung from Mortal Kombat as the leader of "The Hand" and some other generic mystical henchmen led by his son, played by Will Yun-Lee and that's it. That's what we got for villains in this movie.

So, if you're like expecting to see some cool action scenes featuring the character of Elektra Natchios, you're not gonna get with this movie. I would strongly recommend watching the Netflix Daredevil series, instead.

Overall, don't even bother with this movie. It's boring, tedious and well, kind of pointless. It's no wonder why Fox gave the rights to Daredevil back to Marvel. Now if only they would do the same thing to the Fantastic Four, but that's gonna take even longer.

Well, after watching the director's cut of the 2003 Daredevil movie, I would have to say that it's not really a masterpiece, but I will say that it's better than the theatrical cut. But, it's not the worst superhero movie that I've ever seen. That honor belongs to Catwoman (2004), X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Superman III & IV and The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Now with that being said, as far as movie casting goes in a superhero film such as Daredevil, I have to say that Jennifer Garner is a terrible choice for the role of Elektra Natchios. Not once did I actually believe that she was the famous ninja assassin from the Daredevil comics that single-handed took out the Hand. All I saw was Jennifer Garner in a black leather corset playing with ninja weapons and I actually laughed at her death scene at the hands of Colin Farrell's Bull's-Eye. The rest of the cast is alright. The late Michael Clarke Duncan as the Kingpin was amazing, Colin Farrell was a hoot as Bull's-Eye. But, I think Ben Affleck should've just stuck with playing Batman, instead of Daredevil. This was not an easy role for him at all.

Overall, I'd highly recommend the Director's Cut of the 2003 Daredevil movie over the Theatrical Cut. It's definitely worth the watch. Oh, and I forgot! The director's cut features a subplot with Coolio's character being framed by the Kingpin and it is hilarious.
