David Ansen Newsweek Sillier than the Singer versions, Ratner's movie is also -- for this less-than-reverent X-Men fan -- more satisfying. Jul 7, 2010 Full Review Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal X-Men: The Last Stand has shifted the shape of the franchise from pretty good, if uninspired, to terrifically entertaining. Jun 22, 2006 Full Review Andrew Sarris Observer [I] found myself strangely moved by the sense of relationships, friendly and unfriendly, coming to an end in a dull return to normality in the world of humans and mutants. Jun 7, 2006 Full Review Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) There are moments of genuine inspiration here, but they don’t add up all the way. Jul 22, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review At several points during The Last Stand, I wondered how many plots and subplots one film could handle, and ultimately, they all proved to be too much for one 104-minute movie. Rated: 2/4 Dec 15, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins All marvel and little substance. Rated: 3/10 Nov 21, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Ryan H X3 ups the mutant mayhem & action! But unfortunately, the story suffers this time around. There is a better film in here, but a choice needed to be made: either “The Cure” storyline or “The Dark Phoenix;” it was a mistake to try for both. It’s not terrible film…just a disappointment following the brilliance of X1 & X2. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Wendel L Direção: Ok Atuação: Bom Roteiro: Bom Caracterização: Ok Soundtrack: Ok Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Professional D Pretty good movie enjoyed it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Jonathan O X-Men The Last Stand is very odd final trilogy Bryan didn't return to direct and you can feel no energy from first and 2nd of X-Men and it feels like I'm watching a R rating version like Rebecca as Mystique who loose her power and we the audience we're surprised to see her fully nude including her feet and yet the mppa rating give it a pass but is a fast pace least favorite X-Men franchise. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/08/24 Full Review John C Amazingly, X-men 2 - being the sequel - actually surpassed the original. It was longer, fleshed out the better characters a bit more and generally improved on the original. People awaited the conclusion of the trilogy with baited breath. Then came the news that the behind-the-scenes staff were not happy. Bryan Singer left. Other directors came and went, as did other crewmembers and X3 limped onto the stage trying to convince us that all was still well with the franchise. To be fair - it's okay. The action is good, as is the special effects. However, overall it seems like a backwards step for the story. It's quite short (just over an hour and a half) - nothing wrong with that, apart from the fact that it's X-men and the clue's in the name. The X-men is about multiple characters and, when turning it into a film, you have to try and cram as many of them in as possible. You can't please everyone. There will always be some left out ("Where's Gambit?" many cried before he showed up later in Wolverine's own film). However, there are still too many to really care about. Characters - good and bad - come on screen for one or two scenes and that's all we get of them. Old favourites Wolverine, Professor X and Magneto get the most screen time and do their best to try and hold things together. But none of their characters are pushed forwards in terms of development. Wolverine has some cool fight scenes. Magneto shows his dastardly side with a brilliant scene involving the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and X reminds us of the X-men's overall message. But these are just scenes. They're all good, but they're interspersed with second-rate, under-developed characters taking up screen time just so the producers can say, "See, look, there's Collossus!" It's a fun action film, but, after X2, just leaves you thinking it's not much of an improvement (incidentally the same thing I said about Terminator 3's relationship to T2). Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Oaklee D Definitely a product of that weird early 2000s comic book movie era. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
