'Rush Hour 3': Out of Gasnew
It's The Bourne Ultimatum's evil twin, relying, as it repeatedly does, on tired, cookie-cutter cliche action set-pieces.

Mutant Pile-Upnew
This third outing in the franchise lays on the subtext even more heavily than its predecessors -- racial, gender, and sexual politics are all over the place, as are the multiple strands of the story line.

Freaks Just Want to Have Funnew
In short, X-Men: The Last Stand suffers from a muddled plot, and falls short of the laser focus that X2 had.
