When a scientist named Warren Worthington II announces a 'cure' for mutant powers, it raises an interesting philosophical question: is mutant power a disease that needs a cure, or is it a benefit that homo superior enjoys over 'normal' human beings? No surprise that Magneto (Ian McKellen) and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants resist the idea that they need to be cured, and declare war on the human race. But it's a little tougher for the X-Men, led by Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Cyclops (James Marsden), and Storm (Halle Berry). If you're Rogue (Anna Paquin), for example, your power means you can't even touch your boyfriend, Iceman (Shawn Ashmore). To compound matters, someone previously thought dead has returned, and might be either friend or foe. With director Bryan Singer having moved on to Superman Returns, the franchise passes to the hands of Brett Ratner (Rush Hour), whose best work is done in the big action sequences such as a showdown between mutant armies. But it's difficult to manage the sheer volume of characters when adding longtime comic-book stalwarts such as Beast (Kelsey Grammer) and Angel (Ben Foster), and one character in particular deserved better than an off-screen dismissal. And fans of the original Dark Phoenix comic book story might be underwhelmed by the movie's resolution. X-Men: The Last Stand is presumably the last film in the series, but the ambiguous ending leaves possibilities open. Look for the two writers most responsible for making the X-Men who they were, Stan Lee and Chris Claremont, in early cameos. --David Horiuchi Beyond the Film The movies X-Men Evolution: The Complete Third Season More Superhero DVDs X-Men comic books The X-Men on Xbox The soundtrack and more Description: Experience the awesome power of The X-Men's epic, final battle. Join well-known mutant heroes and villains, and meet a cadre of all-new warriors -- including Angel, Beast, Juggernaut and Colossus -- in this thrilling, explosive adventure! After a controversial 'cure' is discovered, mutants can choose to retain their superhuman abilities or give up their unique gifts and become 'normal.' When peaceful mutant leader Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) clashes with his militant counterpart, Magneto (Ian McKellen), the battle lines are drawn for the war to end all wars. Bursting with nonstop action, spectacular special effects and exclusive extras, X-MEN THE LAST STAND is a force of nature that 'will blow you away!' Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - X-men The Last STand is Great X-men 3 was plagued with obstacles during its making: several director switches, ridiculous time restraints, etc. But it truly shows how amazing X-men is that, despite all of the troubles to get it made, it is a FANTASTIC movie. It is very emotional and exciting. It is actually geared toward the GENERAL movie population, and much less toward comic followers. Comic followers will love it too if they just keep an open mind. The only problems with the movie are that #1 it is too short, and doesn't give the audience much time to rest after significant events, and #2 there a few missed opportunities for developing characters. However- #1 results in the movie being better for repeated viewings. The movie is better the second time, because u are able to soak in everything AS it happens instead of lingering on surprises. And #2 is only a problem for the fans, as everyone else will know only what they see, which is gREAT. BUY ITT!!! AND PRAY FOR AN XMEN 4!! Rating: - Disappointed here Like many have already pointed out, this one falls short of the first two films, having seen the original years ago, I just today rewatched it & for the first time saw X2 & X3, & felt that X2 was on par with the first film, I never really kept up with the comics, but really did like the second film as a sequel, but I was really disappointed with this third film, as many have pointed out, the themes of the other two seem to get lost here, for instance Cyclops, who is by far a fun character with awesome powers gets shafted in the first 10 minutes, of course I knew why, the actor James Marsedan went with Bryan Singer to do "Superman Returns" which I hate to admit was probably a smart move seeing that X3 fails as a sequel, also Patrick Stewart's Xavier is killed off, which really sucked, imagine Yoda being killed off in "Star Wars" Ep III", then Rebecca Romajn as Mystique is done away with, the only saving grace here is seeing her real nakedness breifly, & the one thing that always irks me is when fashion idiots think they should make over the actors, both Halle Berry & Famke Jansen get unattractive makeovers, & speaking of Jansen, was it necessary to bring her back?, & I won't even get started on Anna Paquin's Roque being shafted here, in the first film she was an integral part of the story, here she is just in the background, at least she didn't get a screwy makeover, only Hugh Jackman & Ian McKellan are the same as before, but they both just didn't seem to be into it ...

Rating: - Good end to the trilogy I have all three of the X Men movies now and this was good, action packed ender to the trilogy. I hope they make another one! Rating: - The Worst X-Men Movie of All Let me start by saying Bryan Singer made the biggest mistake of his life turning down X-Men 3 for Superman Returns (what a bomb). They got one of the biggest hack directors in Hollywood, Brett Ratner to finish off what could have been a stellar trilogy. Instead, we got a crappy "reinterpretation" of one of the best X-Men stories of all time, the dark Phoenix saga. Ratner strips this storyline of all emotion, even stripping Jean Gray/Phoenix of her fire powers (uh, isn't that the point of the entire character?) The last shot of X2 was of the Phoenix's fire emblem in the lake, which is completely abandoned in this travesty. The other two sticking points of this hack script are the off-screen death of Scott Summers/Cyclops WTF? and the death of Professor Xavier, the mainstay of this entire franchise. I sincerely hope the Wolverine and Magneto movies return some semblance of dignity to this franchise, which was Marvel's strongest, after what this asinine director did to this film.
