The good thing is, this really ends the trilogy with a big bang. There are plenty of effects (the ending scene is really quite gorgeous) and lotsa fighting & mutant powers. There are also some heart-wrenching moments, I won't say more so as not to spoil the movie for the rest of you.
The bad thing is, the script is kinda weak. Some of the lines are so lame. And many of the characters seem to be there just to show off a power of two. You can feel the difference between Bryan Singer's direction (in X Men 1 & 2) and Brett Ratner's. The former is more character based while the latter is basically all bangs and whistles. Some of the scenes have the potential to be real tear jerkers, but somehow, the director just doesn't develop the characters enough for you to really feel for them.
On the whole, this is still a very watchable and enjoyable movie. Anyway, if you've watched X Men 1 & 2, there's no way you're gonna miss X Men 3.
And just so you know, there is a scene right at the end of the credits, so do stay till the very end.
