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.

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.

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.

Is it as bad as most reviews say? No. Is it my favorite X-Men movie? Far from it. While the movie does do an egregious disservice to characters like Cyclops and Juggernaut, it still has the ability to get some things right like the plot and action sequences. If anything, watch the movie for the sake of continuity and completion.

Weird to see people disliked this movie as badly as they did, I quite enjoyed it. Sure, not as much as the first one or the second one, but it’s still an okay movie. We see how Magneto wants to get rid of the source of the cure, which is located on Alcatraz. Jean’s back, not sure how to feel about that though. We get to see Jean’s inner conflict with her darker half and how powerful she can be. Her potential is limitless, like Professor X had said, and I think that’s well executed in this movie. I didn’t like how they just got rid of Mystique though, especially after how important of a role she played in the first two movies. Cyclops also dies very early on in the movie, and I didn’t quite like that. The post-credit scene also makes very little sense. Other than that, it's an okay movie.

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) This could have been the perfect X-Men trilogy in theaters, but it isn't. The film has several loose ends that are never resolved; it had the potential to create another group of mutants with these stories, but unfortunately the script chose to wrap everything up too quickly.

Higher stakes, rounding off character arcs and crazier action sequences can't save The Last Stand from sequel overload and an uneven, poorly-told plot.
