I'll be going to see X-Men 3 at 8pm at the Grafton Centre cinema.

Would anyone like to join me?

Well, that was full of remarkably gratuitous spectacle, and may well win the prize for Most Excessive Arrival By Vehicle even over the man in The Stars My Destination who appears at his nemesis's door by steam locomotive, with a team ahead of him to lay the tracks.

Many things exploded. Many things disintegrated. Quite a number of things caught fire, a significant number of walls suffered some degree of loss of structural integrity. Vinnie Jones played Vinnie Jones, as only he can. There was less gratuitous tear-jerking effort than Mission Impossible 3 (thankfully), and there wasn't anything of the kind of spectacular of the tornado-steering scene in the previous X-men movie, but on the whole, this is a very good silly summer blockbuster.

The cinema staff had dressed up in X-men costumes, which demonstrated that X-men costumes really benefit from the level of make-up effort available to feature films.
