Violent end new beginning to x-men franchise - X-Men: The Last Stand Reviews
The movie is rather violent, definitely not the campy style of comic book movies like spider man or batman and robin. Many characters and humans die in the movie, some rather gruesome and disturbing. The visual effects are stunning as well as the fast-paced action. There is some passionate sexual scene in the movie also. Overall the plot is a good one, in which a mutant antibody/cure is formulated and so there begins two sides of the issue. Magneto assembles an army and xavier has his x-men. it's a combination of stories, like the x-men cartoon "graduation day" in which the x-men are left to fend for themselves and to think for themselves.
Without giving away the plot, let's say toward the middle people get shocked and silent b/c something big and violent happens that is quite unexpected and gut-wrenching... it's like "what just happened? that can't be right, can it?" this sets the morose and violence tone to the movie. there is some foul language in the film as well (B word and Dic----- word, etc.)\
There are some twists in the movie, mainly to the characters in the movie, to set a whole new enemies/allies, etc for the most likely next movie sequel (apocolpyse?)... the plot was quick and choppy, but that is b/c a lot information was fit in the movie.
overall, it's an enjoyable movie that i would watch again on dvd... it's rather violent and graphic PG-13/R version. it opens the door of new characters and storylines in the next movie. there's many new characters that are fun to watch and make you excited.
finally, i would stay until the end ie after the credits scroll by, there's an added scene in the end that will relieve some people of what happened prior.
