X-Men: The Last Stand

Pros: a lot of action, geared towards die-hard fans, some very interesting story-lines
Cons: you must know back-stories, could allienate a normal viewing audience, could appear shallow

I grew up watching the X-Men cartoon and reading through the various comic book series that the story had spawned. To me it was extremely exciting that motion pictures were going to be developed. With so many different characters to have sub-plots ...

Pros: Storm flies. Jackman, Berry, Stewart, McKellan. Beast is finally shown.
Cons: Many characters under used. Nightcrawler was missing. Still no Gambit. Plot didn't reach potential.

When I was younger, I watched X-Men cartoons and really enjoyed them. I really enjoyed them and the characters and eventually picked up a few of the comic books. I was very happy when I heard that a movie was going to be made and headed off to ...

Pros: Great FX...
Cons: ... what happened to the plot and the characters?!?!?!?

I loved the first two X-Men films so was of course eagerly awaiting the final part of the trilogy. However with Bryan Singer walking out of the X-Men franchise after the second instalment to direct Superman Returns instead, I did almost expect to ...

Pros: Jackman, McKellen, Stewart and Berry's portrayal of their respective characters
Cons: Too much happening with little substance

If you had the opportunity to "cure" yourself of a "disease", would you be so bold to do it? If it meant I would no longer be Flatulent Man, then I might consider it. Other mutants are facing a similar question and each of them has to look inward to find ...

Pros: Dazzling cinematography and excellent stunts.
Cons: Strong PG-13 rating, lots of editorial liberties taken.

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) the third installment literally picks up where X2 (2003) left off with the resurrection of Dr. Jean Grey and the familiar theme of mutants facing discrimination and alienation in a ...

Pros: Fantastic effects and full of action
Cons: Screenwriting not as strong as I would have liked

First, my general impression of the movie: As the title to my review states, this film has some of the most incredible special effects that I've ever seen. It is full of action with more than it's share of killing. Now, what's wrong with that ...

Pros: Lots of new mutants and powers
Cons: Too many characters

X-Men 3: The Last Stand is supposed to be the third and final part of the X-Men trilogy. I don’t think this movie was quite as good as the first two, but it did have some really great parts. As the final installment of a trilogy, I found it to be ...

Pros: There are some decent effects, despite its mostly derivative style.
Cons: Without much in the way of dramatic tension, it turns to empty spectacle.

Trilogies are to movies what re-runs are to TV. But there's just one catch: You have to have something to say, something that can go the distance, something that - by the third installment - will seem climactic, and not merely derivative. Brett ...

Pros: Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman.
Cons: I thought it could have been much more.

I have enjoyed the X - Men at the Movies, they are certainly entertaining to watch. I will tell you straight out, I am a cinema fan, and not a comic book fan. I've never picked up an X-Men comic in my life. That being said, as someone who enjoyed X-Men ...

Pros: Decent action scenes and effects, a few new characters. But see it on DVD.
Cons: Mostly we've seen all this before.

Before I begin, let me say that I went into X-Men III: The Last Stand really wanting to like the film. And to a degree I did, though before we proceed any further I will admit that in the end, I found this to be the weakest so far in the series. ...

Pros: Action.
Cons: The ending, the writing.

This is the third installment of the X-men movie series. The same characters are back with one new one. And unlike the other two, this is one action pack movie. It is entertaining but the writing is one part that is lacking. The world has both ...

Pros: Good action and special effects
Cons: Bad... very bad dialogue

Last night we went out to dinner with another couple to celebrate Z’s birthday. After dinner, we went to the movies and since it was Z’s night, it was his choice. X-Men: The Last Stand it was. I’ve never not wanted to see the ...

Pros: Same great characters, action-filled plot, good special effects
Cons: Some superfluous new characters, minor plot holes

I’ve now watched all three X-Men movies in the space of a week, the third of these being, of course, X-Men: The Last Stand in theater tonight. Final verdict? While I don’ t think the story and execution of this one is quite up to the ...

Pros: Visual Effects, Look, Cast, Action, Dialogue, & Some Great Scenes.
Cons: Predictable, Somewhat Rushed, Missing Cuts, Some Underused Characters.

When the X-Men comic books finally became feature films in 2000 with director Bryan Singer in the helm. The response at first was mixed but positive since it brought new fans a nice introduction to the cast of the X-Men team while giving Australian ...

Pros: new and old characters give strong performances
Cons: Halle Berry is wooden

I’m surprised that Creationists don’t embrace X-Men as openly as they embraced March of the Penguins (weird, but true). I mean, what better way to rail against evolution than a movie about people who evolve only to embroil the world into ...
