Bank Holiday

As often is the case, the Bank Holiday was one with mixed weather. So, I took a ride on the Ribble Valley Railway shown in the pictures below, and then went to the Odeon to watch Xmen: The Last Stand. The reviews I read for this film described it as reasonable but not up to the same standard as the 2nd, which (according to that particular reviewer) was the best of the three.

Personally, I think that they wanted to wrap the franchise up before it became boring and stale, and that was why they made this. It was visually engaging and the dialogue was fairly believable, but there seemed to be dynamics only between the characters central to the plot, with a lot of extras thrown in to fill the screen up a bit. In other words, too much room was made for the action at the expense of telling the story well.
