1.5/4  Magneto's Ending
I'll admit that the last scene was cool (not the whole thing, but the thing as a whole). Brett Ratner destroyed a wonderful franchise (not as badly as what "Wolverine" did), but ended it on such a note that no one could fix it. A terribl... (read full)

2.5/4  It replaces the serious with bufoonish
Entertaining, but much too disappointing 2nd sequel that has enough comic momentum, energy and new characters to fill 3 films; alas, director Brett Ratner tries to wink at his audience the entire time and incorporates too many unlikely on... (read full)

1/4  Terrible sequel
The worst of the three x-men movies easily. The are several problems within it. The first is the story, Both stories dark phoenix and a cure have potential but they are poorly realized. Neither story is given the attention needed for a goo... (read full)

1/4  Skip It *Some Spoilers Below*
The owners of the X-men movie rights apparently decided it was time to milk the third installment of the X-men trilogy for whatever it was worth. The final product churned out was among the worst Hollywood tripe imaginable. First of all,... (read full)

1.5/4  A huge disappointment
After the excellent superhero movie that was X-Men 2, I was understandably looking forward to this sequel. I was aware that with Bryan Singer gone, it may not be of the same class but I never expected this!

3/4  X-Men: The Last Stand Quick Review
Any movie with Wolverine in it is going to be great.

3/4  X-Men: The Last Stand Quick Review
Enjoyed this one too. Some of the action was too much but still thought it was a good film.

3/4  X-Men: The Last Stand Quick Review
When I heard Brett Ratner was directing the third X-Men, I had little hope. Interesting enough, I was suprised how well it turned out. A little heavy on the action side and less on plot, it none-the-less gets the job done.

5/5 Mutantkind divided against itself
  by Chrijeff (Scranton, PA)
As this movie opens, things are looking up for mutants. A new President (Josef Sommer) is so sympathetic to their concerns that he has created a Department of Mutant Affairs, helmed by one of their own--former X-Man Dr. Hank "Beast" McCoy (Kelsey Grammar). At Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, the mansion has been repaired after the commando incursion of X2 - X-Men United (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition), and students of all sizes scurry through the halls at class-change time. Even Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) seems to have settled in as part of the team, although in Danger Room simulations he still has a tendency to bend the rules. But Scott Summers (James Marsden) is so consumed by grief over the death of Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) that he's abdicated his position as leader, forcing Storm (Halle Berry) to step into the slot--a job she doesn't want. And Magneto (Ian McKellen) remains at large and a matter of deep concern to the government. Then Jean is unexpectedly resurrected from the depths of Alkali Lake. But Prof. Xavier (Patrick Stewart) fears what the strain of saving herself may have done to her Class 5 mutant powers. Meanwhile, Warren Worthington II (Michael Murphy), head of a great pharmaceutical company, has announced the creation of a vaccine that can suppress--permanently--all mutant ability. Despite assurances that taking it will be entirely voluntary, Magneto, that survivor of the Holocaust, fears what its existence may mean and begins assembling a mutant army called "The Brotherhood." In the end, it's five Xavier students against a mass of raging outlaw mutants with a weapon that may mean the end of the world.

This splendid climax to the X-Men trilogy is worth every cent of its cost, from the sensitive portrayals of inner conflict suffered by Wolverine, Xavier, Storm, and Jean to the thunderous John Powell score (X-Men: The Last Stand (Original Motion Picture)) to the introduction of imaginative new mutant characters (including Ben Foster as Worthington's son/namesake, Angel, with his gorgeous 20-foot wingspan) to the stunning special effects. (I'm only disappointed that Kurt Wagner/Nightcrawler didn't make a return appearance.) Note: If you didn't see it in the theater, DO NOT stop the player until after the credits have rolled. You'll see a short scene that hints of more to come--and if it's as good as this, I can't wait!

5/5 BLU RAY VERSION
  by AVID MOVIE WATCHER (USA)
BLU-RAY VERSION IS WORTH BUYING. I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE MOVIE, OTHERS ALREADY HAVE. BUT, NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE TELL YOU IF IT IS WORTH UPGRADING FROM YOUR REGULAR DVD TO BLU-RAY. THIS ONE IS WORTH IT. COLORS ARE STUNNING AND SOUNDS GREAT.

2/5 Movie was rushed and superficial
  by T. Edmund Jenkin
I lurved the first two x-men movies, and I love the whole francise. What could go wrong?

First of all, most of the new mutants introduced were pathetic, Juggarnaught didn't really work, angel existed just to swoop down and prove his father wrong, and that fast chic was just there to distract storm from the fact that she had no plot written for her.

Really the problem is this movie was abandoned. The original X-men director went away to do Superman Returns (so he could film an actor who looked like Mr Rieves R.I.P lift things)

Whoever the new guy just couldn't seem to create scenes that worked. Every poignant moment in the film felt rushed and the actors were about as emotional as sim's.

I recommend watching X-2 twice instead of this


5/5 X-Men Trilogy
  by Arnita D. Brown (USA)
Action, adventure, cool special effects, a first rate cast, and strong stories to boot. I can't say enough good things about these three movies. Director Bryan Singer displays his expertise with an ensemble cast, accomplishing a feat by making three live-action movies about an entire group of superheroes.
