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.

What a shocking way to throw out all the good will you built with two surprisingly effective X-Men movies.

Rated: 2/5

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

Yikes you can tell Brett Ratner did not know what to do with this movie. I’ve always said Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is the greatest portrayal of a superhero but he was so out of character this movie he felt like a different person. So many character assassinations like cyclops sucks so hard. Rogue sucks so bad like why is she in these movies if she doesn’t even do anything. Pyro I strongly despise. The acting is just ehh and some dialogue is questionable. Magneto is ass in the movie. Done even get me started on juggernaut. The visuals are kinda bad but there are certain scene that look pretty good mainly from storm and iceman. This movie with a runtime of 1h 44m really hurt it because it felt super rushed. I could go on and on but the more bad I say the worst I feel about this movie. However the good is Iceman destroying Pyro, Jean/Phoenix she looked wonderful (especially storm and rogue). Kitty Pryde is the most underrated X-Men member. And the third act really grabbed me but it’s a shame the first two acts suck so hard.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

A great movie, but the Phoenix it’s not very well represented, but for those times it’s understandable. The death of Xavier is so epic.

Once again, I don't get the hate. This film entertained me, made me smile, cry a little bit. The action was amazing. Jean grey was handled well, she was powerful! STANDOUT: Hugh Jackman

Terrible direction & even worse writing bring down this entry in the X-Men franchise, but the acting is still great & the visuals are (mostly) captivating.
