X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

After the presumed death of Jean Grey, Scott finds out that she was still alive despite her saving the X-Men and sacrificing herself in the previous movie. In this movie Jean becomes the Phoenix and the Dark Phoenix which ends up making her lose her humanity and she must fight it.As usual the acting and CGI was very good in this movie. However, I wish Bobby and Kitty became and stayed a couple. I wasn't too big on the whole Bobby and Rouge thing. Maybe because of my nostalgia from Wolverine and the x-men.Just a warning of note you may cry when you watch because it has a very depressing ending.That's all I am going to say.

The fantastic grand finale in the original trilogy series. They went all-out to bring us a spectacular end to one of the best Marvel superhero franchises. The visuals are top notch and rock solid performances from the talented cast ensure believable execution of a surreal story. Fantastic on every level and one of my favorite sci-fi action adventures.

Plot Overview: ​After news of a possible mutant cure breaks, Mangeto(Ian McKellen) gets angry and raises his Brotherhood of Mutants to combat humanity. It's up to Wolverine(Hugh Jackman) and the X-Men to save everyone.Directed by Brett RatnerStarring Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen and Famke Janssen# NO SPOILERS!Overall: This movie was just average. I don't see anything offensively bad or anything ridiculously good. It stands on two feet but just barely. The pros and cons cancel each other out to make a pretty bland and forgettable experience.Wouldn't Recommend.# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!Hugh Jackman was excellent as Wolverine but that has become mostly common knowledge at this point. Halle Berry was good as Storm as was Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde. Kelsey Grammar was a decent Beast. Patrick Stewart was good in his short time as Professor X but the star performance by far was Ian McKellen as Magneto who makes yet another genius performance as he gave in X-Men and X2. The relationship between Charles and Eric was explored more in the beginning of this film which I like and would like to see a more in depth look into. Famke Janssen was very weak as Jean Grey but I feel like she was just directed poorly. Aaron Stanford and Shawn Ashmore were equally awful as polar opposites Pyro and Iceman respectively.I love the implication of Magneto at the end of the movie. Apart from that however, the story and ending were both pretty weak. One main flaw I can say with this movie and I may be the only one who thinks this but I think that more main characters should have died. For a film called 'The Last Stand' I expected more character deaths and give the film more stakes.The cinematography was pretty decent all around and I cannot really flaw that.The effects were mostly good with a few poor looking ones.The attempts at comedy worked for the most part and this movie displays a good range of mutants and utilises them effectively. The action was pretty mediocre and they spent too much time on a build up that didn't pay off. It attempted a much more dramatic turn but it drastically failed.The ONE and ONLY reason the climax is set around San Francisco is because of the Golden Gate Bridge scene.Personally, I really didn't enjoy this movie as much as the others in the franchise but I can see numerous strengths in the movie that made it bearable.5/10

X men last stand was finale of the x men trilogy, the first one before the convoluted time lines and never ending X men series. Don't go just on the bad reviews which appear because some fans don't like the story told and create negative environment towards it.I loved this movie. This was finale of X men so it did have bigger stage than first two. The government has found a cure for the mutants. Some mutants want to get the cure, some don't want it and some like Magneto sees this as government declaring war on mutants similar to first 2 movies but with immediate consequence. The main plot is very good. Then there is dark phoenix saga, which is changed from comics but it works. The phoenix is real Jean while the Jean we see in first 2 movies is artificial creation of Professor X. She does kill Xavier in second act, which is very big plot as Xavier is guide of all X men.The characters like Scott and Storm are out of place but the movie does add great characters like the beast and angel. Also the evolution of characters like Pyro, Iceman and rogue is great. The stand out acting is again by Magneto, Professor X, Mystique and Wolverine.The movie has great main plots with some unnecessary plots like death of Cyclops. The action is much better than first 2 movies and it gave decisive finale to X men series which current "CINEMATIC UNIVERSE" lacks. If you are fan of first 2 movies, this is a much needed finale.
