X-men: the Last Stand; good or bad?

Saw the new X-Men movie last night. I was excited and disappointed. I expected more, but I also knew that it is, after all, a summer movie blockbuster that has no pretensions to change your thinking or worldview. If you watch the movie with that realization, it is a fun, action-packed piece that lives up to the name "blockbuster". It is purely enjoyable, despite the few plot and character glitches. Those don't detract too much from the fun of the movie, and as always, Hugh Jackman carries the movie with style and charisma. I was bothered by a few problems (spoiler alert!) with plot and character lines that seemed to drop off into nowhere. Other plot problems that plagued me were the lack of backstory for Juggernaut, Mystique's reasons for saving Magneto, then turning on him (I understood why, as a comics fan, but it was left vague in the movie), and the Phoenix storyline that was not given its full potential. I was left pondering a few questions that I'm sure others might consider, too. Such as Why didn't anyone think of using Rogue against Leech? And if their powers would have cancelled each other out, why wasn't that explained? Because if I thought of it, someone else probably has, too. Why was Kitty Pryde, a child, the only one who was smart enough to figure out how to use Leech's power effectively? Isn't Charles the genious? He didn't think of any of that. Probably because he was having too many issues with costume malfunctions. The biggest problem for me (I can overlook plot issues in a fun movie like this, if Im being entertained) were the awful production values and multiple costume/makeup issues. Xavier's pants riding up so high it looked like he was wearing a diaper, a horrible hair dye job on Phoenix, Juggernaut's poorly fitted appliances and strange body hair, Beast's ridiculous blue fur, and Halle Berry's visible lines on her costume as she levitates were all very distracting. They spent 210 million bucks on this movie, and couldn't hire a good colourist for Famke Janssen? And why Halle ever won an Oscar, I'll never know. She is dreadful. There are painful moments (such as the scene where Wolverine and Storm discover what's happened to Charles) where you can see her obviously watching the other actor and waiting for her cue to emote. Ugh.Perhaps they should develop the Xavier School for Ungifted Mutant Actors. Then Rogue and Storm could take lessons, and become more than throwaway female characters who do little else other than bounce energetically and whine about ignorant men.
