Steineded How sad is this?
GazerRise Fantastic!
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
archer191273 I have come to the conclusion that people on this site have taste where the sun doesn't shine. I actually think that this movie is the best in the whole franchise. I guess you'll have to watch it and be the judge yourself. Do yourself a favour and don't go off the stinky reviews on imdb. These morons are self proclaimed movie critics. I have more taste in my johnson.
djfrost-46786 This is a darker xmen movie. I don't care for it as much. The make Jean Grey very bad.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 Another example of the third being the weakest, 'X-men: The Last Stand (2006)' is no where near as good as the two films that preceded it. It feels like it was rushed into, and through ,production simply to cash-in on the franchise's success, with little thought given to the status of the screenplay. Still, it has some good moments sprinkled throughout and a tight enough pace that it's never boring. It definitely isn't as bad as some would have you believe. It's just disappointing, given that the prior title had bucked the trend of sequels never being as good as the first. This one just cemented the fact that the third is usually the worst. 6/10
shadowsect 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
