What a movie!! - X-Men: The Last Stand Reviews
I just got back from the midnight showing (which was sold out, btw, and it was on FIVE screens at once) and it WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! The visuals, storyline, acting...everything was on par with the series and made one HELL of a finale to an already superior film trilogy. I LOVED IT, as did everyone I went with. Phoenix/Jean Gray was the best in my opinion, she looked soooo scary as Dark Phoenix, it was perfect. Deaths in the movie, thats all I will say...and they shocked me. Yes, indeed. But what else can you expect for a third installment of a trilogy? They DID however leave it open, I guess you could say. You just have to go and see it for yourself!
DEFINITELY AN A++++ MOVIE!!!!! I predict it breaking box office records, I really do.

Unxpected - X-Men: The Last Stand Reviews
I couldn't wait to see the Last Stand in the Xmen series, but I gotta say I was a little disappointed. Some the characters that we all got to know so well in the previous series role's changed so dramatically or disappeared that it almost makes you want take the script and change up some of the movie. It was still an Xcellent movie, however, and even if you didn't see the previous movies, you'll still feel entertained. This movie is different from the other two in that it has more of a serious mood to it and it's supposed to, but for the fans of the first two in the series it will change your expectations of the film and alot of its characters. The thing that stands out the most about X3 is the amazing visuals and action-packed pace of the story. Even though this movie is quite different from the rest, you'll still leave the theatre feeling "cured" after seeing the final climax the other two had built up. As far as the best overall, though, X2 still holds first place.
The best summer action movie. ***spoiler*** - X-Men: The Last Stand Reviews
The plot is full of tragic and expected events. Phoenix, a class 5 mutant/river/hurricane (you get the picture) as we all knew was going to play a central role to the plot opposite Hugh Jackman whose usually excellent performance is this timed seemingly dragged down by the side characters. You can tell they all wanted more time. It's like Magneto telling Pyro, "Stand back and let the pawns go first". Indeed there are perhaps too many pawns stealing the star power in this flick.
Surrounding this plot is an excessive amount of controversy around cures. At times it seems as belabored as AI's corn starch thick "pinocchio-blue fairy" allusion but by the end, it seemed to have been just subtle enough not to make this a mutant object lesson in pharmacology and disability rights.
The directing did seem to pull off a few good onliners for Hugh Jackman as well as some not so good one liners reminiscent of Han Solo's famous "laugh it up fuzzball" in reference to Chewbacca, I mean Beast as well as a short little "Noooo-argh!" to avoid stealing a Darth Vader line.
This film will provide a bit of tragedy as Charles, Scott die, Mystique and Magneto are cured of their mutant power and...well, I'm not going to spoil all of it but let's just say the very end leaves this open for perhaps a final, last stand after this.
Midnight showing - X-Men: The Last Stand Reviews
The theatre was abuzz tonight. This movie had it all. The audience broke out in applause at least 10 times. I am not a big fanboy but I was seriously impressed. There are a few plot turns and deaths that some people may find disturbing but I definately feel they added to the story. Go see this movie and tell your friends....The x men are bast in the best installment to date in the series...

X-men 3 makes a stand - X-Men: The Last Stand Reviews
Wow. Head out to the theatre now this movie was awesome. I have been waiting for this movie for a long time and it was worth the wait. The visuals for this movie were just awesome. X-Men: The Last Stand was better than the first but not as good as the second. If you wan to ogo see a comic book style action packed Sci-Fi movie its worth the money and don't let any of the people who are giving this F's stop you X-Men fans from seeing the movie just go and have a good time. Another thing the acting was awesome I think that Hugh Jackman does a great job playing Wolverine he can be funny sometimes and serious in the movie and of course has most of the action scenes it was just awesome thats it if your a fan go see it if your not I think you may still like it!!! This is the summer movie everybody has been waiting for!
Better than the second one - X-Men: The Last Stand Reviews
If you come to see this movie you will not be thinking " Is it almost over???" I do think they killed to many characters and i don't think that Jean Grey should have come back but they gave a logical reason explaining why she came back. Oh and at the first part in the neighborhood there is a guy mowing his lawn. The guy mowing was the writer of the X-MEN comic books. And i think it is neat how they think up different kinds of powers for each person. That would be kind of hard to do. I wish that MYSTIQUE would have been on the movie longer and ROGUE too because I like both of them. I also enjoyed some of the newer characters like that bald guy that could cure the mutants, the bird guy, and BEAST. Oh one other thing i didn't like is that near the end you see magneto at the park near some kind of chess club thing and THIS IS A SPOILER !!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T READ UNLESS YOU HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!
When the metal chess piece started moving even though he had lost his powers. But that could mean that when ROGUE and BOBBY are holding hands or something that might mean that her powers may come back. Which would mean that the cure was only a temporary thing. Which makes sense since when they are near the boy they can't use their powers. OH AND THAT MEANS MYSTIQUE WILL BE BACK!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!
P.S. Watch after the credits because there is another seen but if you didn't get it scroll down below only if you saw it though....
Aparently there was a guy at this hospital that didnt have a mind but he still lived and when the proffessor dies which i think is stupid just. keep him cuz he comes back and posseses the mind of the guy who had no mind.
A different view than the first two - X-Men: The Last Stand Reviews
Visually - Amazing. The third in the trilogy has what the first two lack, which is serious kick-ass action sequences. This film is X-citing as hell, but not without problems, especially for the X-men purists. There are hints at deeper meanings, which the first two films gave in full, but only momentarilly in this one.
If you are a BIG fan of the comics, espeically Chris Claremont's work on them, you'll both appreciate this one as well as maybe be upset at a few parts. If not, then you may not have a problem with anything, or at the same time, maybe you won't appreciate it as much either.
Nevertheless, if you enjoyed the first two, and you want to see the summer started off with a bang, this is the movie to see!
