X-Men: The Last Stand VS Spider-Man 3

To be honest with you, dear reader, this was the moment I was dreading: having run out of Fantastic Four flicks to compare to the X-Men trilogy, I nervously grabbed Spider-Man 3 from the back of the cupboard to see which of the two finales (X-Men: The Last Stand being the second) was the best, remembering well that both were my least favourite entries in their respective franchises. Thankfully, things weren't nearly as bad as I remembered, and although neither laid a scratch on their predecessors, both sequels had some memorable setpieces. So which one came out top?
PLOT- Writer Zak Penn goes on a killing spree with the final X-Men as Mystique, Professor X, Cyclops and Jean Grey all bite the dust in one form or another (although Charles might have made it out somehow), but equally Spider-Man 3 goes for some mishap teen-angst sequences with an ashamedly awkward Tobey Maguire trying to play it cool. Neither of the plots leave much to think about, but at least Spidey's successfuly closes the trilogy. WINNER: SPIDER-MAN
COMIC BOOK HERITAGE- X-Men 3 introduces Juggernaut, Shadowcat, Dark Phoenix, Beast and Professor Moira (all comic legends), so beats the weirdly-animated Sandman and Venom of Spider-Man 3 anyday. WINNER: X-MEN
CAST- Ellen "Juno" Page and Vinnie Jones make fine additions to the already X-cellent cast of X-Men, but James Franco's New Goblin and Bryce Dallas Howard's Gwen Stacy are much better additions, plus Tobey Maguire (bar his dance-swagger scenes) and Kirsten Dunst are great too. WINNER: SPIDER-MAN
EMOTION- X-Men almost comes out top here as Wolverine is forced to kill his love interest to save his kind. If it weren't for the moving death of Franco's Harry Osborn at Spider-Man 3's climax the result would be automatically different, but that tearful scene is just perfect. WINNER: SPIDER-MAN
OVERALL- Bearing in mind that neither of these two are particularly memorable, any emotional or physical substance in Spidey 3 or X-Men 3 is welcome, but it's the tissue-compulsory death of Harry and the ace final battle that make Tobey Maguire's final turn as the webbed wonder the winner!
