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.

Critics Consensus

X-Men: The Last Stand provides plenty of mutant action for fans of the franchise, even if it does so at the expense of its predecessors' deeper character moments.

Newsweek

Sillier than the Singer versions, Ratner's movie is also -- for this less-than-reverent X-Men fan -- more satisfying.

X-Men: The Last Stand has shifted the shape of the franchise from pretty good, if uninspired, to terrifically entertaining.

[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.

For the Win (USA Today)

There are moments of genuine inspiration here, but they don’t add up all the way.

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

Lots of action (with mostly real explosions 🥹), a great score, and pretty well-aged effects – and only 100 minutes long. Basically everything I wish for in current comic book adaptations. Unfortunately, the script doesn't work. The characters don't act intrinsically but are placed by the writers where needed, even if it contradicts their own motivations. The best example: Jean Grey. But Rogue, Wolverine, etc., also belong on this list. Emotional scenes (e.g., Angel) and interesting themes ("curing" mutants) don't get the breathing room they deserve. Even the finale feels rushed. By next week, I'll probably have forgotten 60% of the movie already.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

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.

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.
