As an X-men-fan I totally agree that it’s not as great as the previous movies, but it’s not bad either.

As an X-men-fan I totally agree that it’s not as great as the previous movies, but it’s not bad either.

The first thing that truly bothers me is that there's not as much action in this film than in X-Men 1 and 2, and there’s not as much unique things either. Brian Singer should have been the one to direct all X-Men films, especially this one! Another aspect that’s horrible about this movie is the soundtrack, it’s not as touching as in X-Men 2. The CGI however is incredible, and the few action-sequences that this film got are all awesome (but they are not many). The actors are of course awesome, there's no one that I would consider as a bad actor!

Overall is X-Men: The Last Stand a great movie, but the choice of director truly is the worst thing. But it’s still an entertaining and groovy movie.

X-Men: The Last Stand get a 7.8/10

Эта часть проигрывает прошлой по напряжённости, сюжету, экшену... Но большую часть времени смотреть всё же интересно, в конце творится бред, поэтому очень слабенькая 7/10.Эта часть проигрывает прошлой по напряжённости, сюжету, экшену...

Aw X Men The Last Stand the film that most fans regard as the bane of the franchise and one of worst superhero movies of the last decade is this true. no in fact the popular thing these days that people regard as great leave baffled in a dayAw X Men The Last Stand the film that most fans regard as the bane of the franchise and one of worst superhero movies of the last decade is this true. no in fact the popular thing these days that people regard as great leave baffled in a day and age where Guardians of the galaxy is considered great yeah I'm not seeing it so to the public is this movie good no not really does that matter no. X men the last stand is the most ambitious movie in the franchise even surpassing Days of future past in a lot of areas though not always successfully the general complaints of this movie seem to be that for whatever reason fans wanted everything in this movie to have a big role which is impossible but this movie did a good enough job most of it's material.

Characters: while not balancing out every character X3 did the best with almost all of them Logan, Jean, Magneto, storm, Xaiver, bobby and Rogue all had actual arcs and more importantly arcs that mattered to the story some probably the best arcs given to their characters.

Story: The plot of this movie is good and does tie together provided you're not overly strict the movie has a lot of deep themes that are explored in literally every scene the story works well and is emotionally powerful and complex.

Pacing: While a little rushed at some points this movie moves at a fast pace this doesn't need to be a problem in truth when you face a problem you actually don't have a vast amount of time to decide what you are going to do Rogue's opinion on her powers are obvious we don't need multiple scenes establishing this even the show had one scene of her struggling a fight and then she changed her mind the movie presented enough. The pace of this movie is an improvement of X2 which was bloated and had entire sections that while good didn't contribute to the story at all every moment in X3 matters.

Action: The action is great nothing more to say.

Emotion: This movie is still one of the most emotional movies Marvel has ever done it is constant while the death of one character and depowering of another are not as focused on as they could be everything else the movie drips with emotion that marvel studios needs to learn in other words characters can cry every now and then.

Unpredictability: This film pulls no punches giving it true tension lacking in any other marvel movie the story goes in unexpected directions which makes the film all the more exciting.

Final note take your favorite comics and toss them aside this is not that story this is it's own once you realize this you should be able to enjoy this movie for it is not what you want it to be also numerous mutants are introduced and get no development or even focus this is irrelevant none of them are important to the story the characters actually important to the story get their dues.

The final verdict featuring a plot with true depth and moral themes as well as a high level of emotion and tension with deep and meaningful arcs and great action scenes X3 is an incredible finish to the trilogy that is way better than most of the whiny fans would lead you to believe which is every bit as good as X2 maybe better I would give the movie a solid 9.5/10.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is an interesting phenomena to me because I felt satisfied with the film when I first saw it and I wanted to tell people how good it was. however, I came to realize that no one seemed to agree with me. After looking back at the film there are some problems but I still found it to be an enjoyable film despite Brat Rayner's reputation as a director. The action sequences are visually impressive and the set pieces are a sight to behold. The best set piece was when Magneto used his power to move over the Golden Gate Bridge. The makeup for the Beast was impressive and the actor was a perfect choice for him. Another reason why I had enjoyed the film was because this film felt like a logical finale to me as people are choosing their sides. Some took issue with some of the characters dying off but I didnt mind because of a few reasons. For starters, Cyclops has never been interesting to me and I think Xavier's death served a purpose in pushing the conflict between the X-Men and the Brotherhood. granted there are some plot holes like what happens to Mystique and how exactly Jean went mad but I thought it added some nice dilemmas. The one thing I took from it was the dilemma about the cure. I asked myself if it was acceptable to take the cure and I thought the final reveal of Rouge getting rid of her powers was a satisfying conclusion to her arc. If you wish to have more information about why I enjoyed this film despite it's problems I recommend watching the number one choice in Doug Walker's list for movies he likes but everyone else hates.

X-Men: The Last Stand. Mutants or humans. The third and final part of the story about mutants looks very energetic, perhaps even too much. Because events change one after another.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie probably doesn’t deserve as harsh a rap as it gets, even though there are definitely things to criticize. Since there are… let’s go with the negative stuff first.

Jean’s character was completely ruined. Who thought this was a good idea? “I know guys! Let’s make Jean into this super sexualized character that absolutely no one is going to have a problem with! Fan service for the guys, right?” Yeah no, it wasn’t pretty. Completely destroyed her character, only saved by the ending.

The first half was also pretty garbage. Cyclops is moody? Let’s just kill him off. Lot of characters were thrown away from the previous movies. Nightcrawler is nowhere to be seen, and the mutants that are added are just there for a fight or to be thrown away like garbage. Dishonorable mention to the angel, who is just there to advance the plot and save one guy. It’s unnecessary and padding, despite the movie being only an hour and a half.

Now for the positives. The second half of the movie was the BOMB. The whole sequence at the base was pretty astounding, with witty dialogue, good fights, and some really emotional damage. Character development was in spades, and last part was…. damn. There’s a reason this movie is referenced after-the-fact, and not tossed aside like X-Men Origins: Wolverine (who thought Deadpool being mute was a good idea? NOBODY)

The themes were still there too, maybe closer than ever. There’s also a moment in the movie that will completely blindside you that I won’t spoil. It really shocked me, and hit me right in the heart. That moment is also the turning point for when it gets really good, so you’ll know it when you see it. This movie was also a lot more popcorn-y. That can be good or bad to some people.

It’s unfortunate that the fate of this movie was, overall, a popcorn superhero flick, something the first two films tried to avoid (and did a good job), but that doesn’t mean this movie is bad and ruins the trilogy as it stands. It’s just disappointing to leave off on not the greatest of movies. Getting Matrix flashbacks. Though this is better compared to The Matrix Reloaded, NOT the godawful Revolutions.

I’d still give it a shot. Rent it or find it on TV if you can. I may be overly critical, but the second half is worth it. (Not the after-credits scene. Do me a favor and don’t stick around for that or it’ll ruin some of the emotion of this movie).

Dumb plot with intentional shock value deaths, but the fight scene at the end was a lot of dumb fun, so.

I liked The Last Stand, but probably because I didn't love the previous two films.

I enjoyed 'X-Men: The Last Stand' to be honest. Taking a quick look at some other reviews and it seems to main gripe is how it treats certain characters from the comics, which is fair enough for sure but that doesn't come into play for me as I'm not a comic reader.

I can only judge it as a film and as one I found it suitably entertaining. Hugh Jackman remains the top dog, though at the beginning the way Wolverine acts felt off to me - though that quickly went away. I would've liked if they found a spot for Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming), though one of his replacements in Beast (Kelsey Grammer) went down well with me.

From what I read I can understand other people's complaints with this, especially with the aforementioned iffy character treatment, but I gotta be honest and say that I found it to be a good enough watch - even if it is comparatively the weakest entry of the original trilogy.

I believe that Bryan Singer's earlier attempts are brought together in this film. This is only an enjoyable ride.

A Hollywood production that is entertaining enough for you to forgive its shortcomings! Expand
