The discovery of a cure for mutations leads to a turning point for Mutants (Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn, Kelsey Grammer). They may now choose to give up their powers and become fully human or retain their uniqueness and remain isolated. War looms between the followers of Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who preaches tolerance, and those of Magneto (Ian McKellen), who advocates survival of the fittest.

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

Mate P X-Men: The Last Stand is unfortunately quite a boring movie, with great visual effects. First of all, it's overstuffed. The film had an ending in the middle and I was surprised to see that there was more. Secondly, I disliked some decisions the writers made about some characters. The dialogues are terrible. Many conversations felt forced or unnatural. The direction isn't anywhere near the first two films. The cinematography isn't good either. The pacing is horrible. This film should fly by. But it's slow and boring, even though it's overstuffed. On the other hand the visual effects have been the best in this film. The cast is also still great. X-Men: The Last Stand is quite unnecessary and I didn't like the decisions it made. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Paul S I don't know where they went wrong with this one. The story was a jumbled mess and just wasn't as interesting as the first two movies. It had some great action sequences, but that's really the only good part of the movie. It was fun to watch at some points, but overall, it just wasn't as good as the first two. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Diego B Not that bad a bit messy Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/25 Full Review Adrian T La tercera y última entrega de X-Men no termino de atraparme, siento que fue un retroceso a los inicios de esta trilogia. El guion esta fragmentado y las decisiones fueron apresuradas. Defitivamente no logre conectar con los personas, por su rapides en pantalla, y no me vi compelida con sus despedidas. Falto desarrollo de personaje y de historia. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review michael p There are all kinds of problems here. Storm who controls the weather can't do it all the time. Like when fire ball boy is tossing fire bombs at her. An ice storm ends that. Rogue could easily kill Jean Grey with one touch to the neck. Its ludicrous. The first one messed up enough. If you just love action without it making sense.. This is for you. Otherwise find a different superhero movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Brian M last stand is good people! fight me! 8/10 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
