I also found this short and sweet review on MSN's "Hitlist":
Movie Lowdown: "X-Men: The Last Stand" is a mixed bag. Longtime fans of the franchise will love the addition of characters like Kitty Pryde and Beast, but the entire picture moves so fast there is no chance to reflect on the many tragic events that should be more moving than they turn out to be. Additionally, scenes that would clarify the story line are bizarrely missing. So much so that if you somehow missed the last movie, don't even think of buying a ticket: You'll be too lost to follow the convoluted plot. Some of the blame must go to director Brett Ratner, but could the bigger culprit be studio 20th Century Fox itself? The movie feels like one special effects shot after another was cut to keep the budget down. Plus, fans have been asked to wait three movies for Jean Grey to become the legendary Phoenix character, and there isn't one firebird effect? Shame, shame, shame.
(The bolding in the last two sentences is mine and I couldn't said it better myself.)
