IMHO best of the 3. Actually contains a genuinely sad moment. 8/10. Great writing made up for Brett Ratner.

You might be dissapointed

Just saw it, II story line was defiantly better then this one. III was visually stunning specially the end scene with Phoenix. Everything went to fast it seemed. I don't know I just thought the flow was off a little, defiantly lost some of that Singer spirit. Overall the acting was a little down from II, they could have done better. I thought the movie could have been amazing if they stretched it a little longer because it seemed short. Thank god for no corny one liners I still remember Storm from 1, "You know what happens to a toad when its struck by lightning, the same thing that happens to everything else" (laugh). But there is defiantly a bunch of ass kicking, some amazing cinematic scenes with the golden gate bridge, Alcatraz, and a car scene. I don't want to reveal anything about the movie give people a chance to see it, which yes I do recommend, I found it very entertaining.

Break down in point/emotion system: 7/10

Positive

Plus 3 to Phoenix

Plus 1 for Jackman

Plus 1 for Angel

Plus 1 the ending :shock:

Plus 1 for sentinel head

Negative:

Minus 1 because it was short

Minus 1 because the characters scene transition was too fast

Minus 1 point for Magneto/Mystique ( You will se what I mean) :yuckky:

The young Archangel part is disturbing :|

It sucks what happens to Magneto and Mystique <_<

Phoenix just rocks

Storm & Callisto scene

Golden Gate Bridge part

Mystique being a smartass in that room was funny

I hope they make an X-Men 4 *crosses fingers*

I'm going to see it tonight.

Apparently the 30 second short after the credits hints at another sequel.

Some smaples of reviews for those who don't look anywhere else

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "Not Xceptional, but still quite entertaining." more... B-

Boston Globe

Wesley Morris "At a comparatively slender 108 minutes, the movie manages to cram in even more, without producing outrage at the short shrift some characters will get." more... B

Chicago Sun-Times

Roger Ebert "I liked the action, I liked the absurdity, I liked the incongruous use and misuse of mutant powers..." more... B

Chicago Tribune

Michael Wilmington "It's not stuporous, and it's not super." more... B-

E! Online "...Ratner sticks close to the look and feel of the first two, even while amping up the action with some spectacular set pieces..." more... A-

Entertainment Weekly

Lisa Schwarzbaum "This is interesting stuff. So why does The Last Stand feel driven to dumb itself down, as if embarrassed by its own ideas?" more... B-

filmcritic.com

Sean O'Connell "It's too much material for one movie. Last Stand has as many characters as a deck has cards." more... C

Hollywood Reporter

Michael Rechtshaffen "Super visual effects aside, the trilogy's final chapter is a pale mutation of its predecessors." more... C

New York Post

Lou Lumenick "The Last Stand isn't awful, but Ratner lacks Singer's subtlety and ability to cleanly navigate convoluted story lines crammed with super-powered characters." more... B-

New York Times

Manohla Dargis "...generically serviceable..." more... C

ReelViews

James Berardinelli "...the first blockbuster of the 2006 summer season that hasn't caused me to shake my head with disappointment." more... B

Rolling Stone

Peter Travers "...the third and weakest chapter in the X-Men series..." more... C

San Francisco Chronicle

Mick LaSalle "...a cut above the previous two X-Men movies in that it comes up with an arresting premise..." more... C

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

William Arnold "...an eye-filling fantasy extravaganza and a big crowd-pleaser." more... B

USA Today

Claudia Puig "...expands on the themes of discrimination and alienation explored in the first two films, and still retains the franchise's signature kick-butt action features." more... B-

The critics who say that it's too short are right. It could have used another 20-25 minutes to delve more into the mind of Phoenix.

no movie is perfect, but the fact that everyone thought it would fail behind the direction of Brett, well they can jsut take that

He was smart to build on the tone, style and storylines from the first two.
