X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)

the leading man is my tpye

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

It's the not so good finale to the original X-Men trilog. But besides a convoluted story with way too many mutants getting their little moments - Angel is a joke! - this is not as bad as everyone is saying. It has a very nice idea about not having to be a mutant anymore and instead having the choice if you want to be human or mutant. But of course the film has not time to dig deeper. There is a child who has the power to make mutant powers go away and everyone wants to get to him first. Best addition is Ellen Page as Kitty Pryde. Sadly Iceman Shawn Ashmore gets more to do - I really never cared for him so this was actually boring. Then there is the Dark Phoenix story somehow put into all of this too. That's the saddest part. This mega X-Men event becomes a sidestory to once again Magneto who wants to rule the world as superior species.

This is a darker xmen movie. I don't care for it as much. The make Jean Grey very bad.

This movie probably doesn't deserve as harsh a rap as it gets, even though there are definitely things to criticize. Since there are… let's go with the negative stuff first.Jean's character was completely ruined. Who thought this was a good idea? "I know guys! Let's make Jean into this super sexualized character that absolutely no one is going to have a problem with! Fan service for the guys, right?" Yeah no, it wasn't pretty. Completely destroyed her character, only saved by the ending.The first half was also pretty garbage. Cyclops is moody? Let's just kill him off. Lot of characters were thrown away from the previous movies. Nightcrawler is nowhere to be seen, and the mutants that are added are just there for a fight or to be thrown away like garbage. Dishonorable mention to the angel, who is just there to advance the plot and save one guy. It's unnecessary and padding, despite the movie being only an hour and a half.Now for the positives. The second half of the movie was the BOMB. The whole sequence at the base was pretty astounding, with witty dialogue, good fights, and some really emotional damage. Character development was in spades, and last part was…. damn. There's a reason this movie is referenced after-the-fact, and not tossed aside like X-Men Origins: Wolverine (who thought Deadpool being mute was a good idea? NOBODY)The themes were still there too, maybe closer than ever. There's also a moment in the movie that will completely blindside you that I won't spoil. It really shocked me, and hit me right in the heart. That moment is also the turning point for when it gets really good, so you'll know it when you see it. This movie was also a lot more popcorn-y. That can be good or bad to some people.It's unfortunate that the fate of this movie was, overall, a popcorn superhero flick, something the first two films tried to avoid (and did a good job), but that doesn't mean this movie is bad and ruins the trilogy as it stands. It's just disappointing to leave off on not the greatest of movies. Getting Matrix flashbacks. Though this is better compared to The Matrix Reloaded, NOT the godawful Revolutions.I'd still give it a shot. Rent it or find it on TV if you can. I may be overly critical, but the second half is worth it. (Not the after- credits scene. Do me a favor and don't stick around for that or it'll ruin some of the emotion of this movie). Gave this movie a higher rating on movies sites to bump up it's miserably low score, but on here…Rating: C

X-Men: The Last Stand had everything to be good, unfortunately only stayed in the promise, it is a weak film, Bryan Singer did not return to direct the film, and the new director Brett Ratner does not give the account, more obvious that the script also does not help, the cast is the same of the last films, I found the film Fenix ​​very badly adapted, the special effects are cool, the Cyclops has now been totally thrown in the trash, I am very sad Wolverine being my favorite character, has more protagonism than he should in the film of X-Men, another villain like Juggernaut is totally forgettable and he is half brother of Xavier in the film Hqs and here is totally forgotten, plus I admit I like the final battle, X-Men: The Last Stand is weak, it's not a bad movie, but it's a movie to forget. Note 5.0
