X-3: X-Men - The Last Stand (Includes Digital Copy)

Liked movie

Loved it

I hear everything everything everyone says about this film and it's true. Brett Ratner was a poor choice as a replacement for Brian Singer for director. He's like Singer's opposite. Where Singer was always subtle and clever with the first two films, Brett Ratner is always loud and in your face. Not to mention he brings very little of the heart, emotion or character development of the first two films. This film is dumb, where the first two films were very smart.But honestly, I would be lying if I said I don't enjoy this film. Ratner is great with action scenes, which is fortunate for him because that's like half the film. The scene when Logan and Storm fight Magneto's new henchmen at Jean's house was a memorable fight scene, one that was well directed, and I have to be honest, the entire final battle/"The last stand" was very enjoyable.Every other scene between characters feels very empty, and literally every new character feels underdeveloped.(The returning character's also feel less developed then usual. Is that even a thing?)One last thing that really bother's me about the film: "Levels". What the hell are "levels"?! In this film, all mutants are classified by what level they are at. I don't know what that means, in this context at least. This is a concept never mentioned in the first two films and never explained in this film. Maybe people who read the comics know what their talking about, I don't. Charles and Erik casually refer to Jean as level 5. Super speed girl refers to Erik and Pyro as level 3. It just pisses me off!Hugh Jackman really shines as Wolverine. He always kills it as Logan! Always! But I guess you sort of appreciate it more here because his acting is usually the best part of this movie.You have to give credit where credit is due, because one thing that Brett Ratner nails is the Phoenix Rage scenes, first when she loses it at her house and again following the final battle. Both of those scenes are outstanding and incredibly epic!Anyway, all criticism aside, this is a good movie, just not a good X-Men movie.

Director Brett Ratner (Rush Hour 1 & 2) takes over the successful comic book franchise in the highly anticipated summer blockbuster "X-Men: The Last Stand". As tensions between humans and mutants continue to escalate, a "cure" for mutations grips an already unsettled mutant population. Now, opposing mutant leaders Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen) clash for the ultimate battle that will ensure the future of all mutants. "X-Men: The Last Stand" is an entertaining action-packed summer joyride that became one of the highest grossing films of 2006. The 108-minute Sci-Fi adventure lacks the strong emotive mood and rich character development of the first two films. The latest chapter in the "X-Men" series has a few emotionally touching moments, cool eye-popping visual effects, terrific action sequences and an appealing cast including Emmy winner Kelsey Grammer as the intelligent blue-haired Beast. Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman and Ian McKellen deliver their share of memorable moments.Complete the trilogy with "X-Men: The Last Stand". The latest blockbuster sequel is presented in its theatrical 2.40:1 anamorphic widescreen format. The picture quality is somewhat weaker than previous X-Men DVDs but it is still a pretty sharp and brightly colored transfer. It's Dolby Digital and DTS audio tracks are the real highlights in this release and provide a top notch home theater experience. The DVD features two decent audio commentaries with director Brett Ratner and film crew, trailers, deleted and extended scenes and three alternate endings with optional audio commentary. Overall, "X-Men: The Last Stand" scores a worthy "B".

Great movie!❤️❤️

The discovery of a cure for mutations leads to a turning point for Mutants (Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn, Kelsey Grammer). They may now choose to give up their powers and become fully human or retain their uniqueness and remain isolated. War looms between the followers of Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who preaches tolerance, and those of Magneto (Ian McKellen), who advocates survival of the fittest.These movies are favorites of my kids.

Hardcore fans in any genera are Very hard to please same goes for this movie.i don't know much about comics apart from xmen names and what i see in movies or cartoons.i absoluately loved action and fast paced story with three sides to choice from that'll be X men against each other and human in mix as army .SPOILER finally some good and bad main X men characters are killed in this movie that is solely reason i chosen it to be part of my collection..Its something very rarely done as no studio wants to end well established fan fav character .i witnessed this action in Superman Apocalypto too and kudos to all team for it.Blu ray sound is 6.1 DTS is excellant though in couple of scenes there is grain and CGI is spot on .You should watch deleted scenes after movie .They help explaining jean behaviour..i didn't know at time of order but this is two disc edition second Disc being just documentry of xmen trilogy.Both disc have xmen pic rather then just title name and its good thing.
