X-men: The Last Stand

[TheOliverOrder88]

There is some rumor going around about the last 30 seconds after the credits. They dont say much, but all they say is just to stay after the credits and see what happens.

I am.

Sypnosis:
In X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, the final chapter in the X-Men motion picture trilogy, a "cure" for mutation threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human. The opposing viewpoints of mutant leaders Charles Xavier, who preaches tolerance, and Magneto, who believes in the dominacne of evolution, are put to the ultimate test – triggering a war.

Times I've watched so far: 2

The show was really good, look past all the action and fighting sequences and you find a deep and thought provoking story. The show teaches lessons and brings up questions (look out for the lecture Xavier gives)which the comic does oh so frequently, and they finally put a Danger Room sequence in there.

Brett Ratner did quite a good job taking over Bryan, though there are some scenes which seem very different from the last two (e.g. no introduction to mutation by Xavier in the begining of the show).

X-fans will recognize quite a few mutants in the movie but there are some people even I dont know.

I cried in one of the scenes.

Then again, I cried (and I still do when I rewatch it) when Jean died in X2.



There are some unfogivable inaccuracies, I'll list some of em without giving spoilers:

1) Juggernaut (Cain Marko, stepbrother to Xavier) is NOT a mutant but he is potrayed as one.

2) The relationship between Marko and Xavier is nonexistent.

3) Powers of Psylocke (asian girl with raven hair) and Callisto are not accurate.


Overall, the show does seem to be a fitting end to the X-trilogy. X-fans will be pleased (I know I am) and non X-fans will walk away from the show knowing that this wasn't just some comic book movie.

Oh, and here's a little secret for those watching it: dont leave when the credits roll, stay right till the very end.

Update!

Times watched: 4 (as of 11.59pm May 26th)

Fact: Cyclops has blue eyes in the flim which is wrong. Scott's eyes are actually brown as they help to absorb sunlight which fuels his optic blasts.

PM me dude!!!!!!!!!! I just got done seeing it and when the credits started rolling and LEFT.

What happened?!

I just saw it today. It was excellent; highly reccomended.

I haven't decided whether I like X2 or X3 better. I may have to watch X2 again soon.

Batman Begins is still my favorite comic book movie, but X3 was great.

By the way: The Superman Returns trailer was awesome.

It was an awesome movie.

2 MORE HOURS!!!!!!!

[wopsim]

it was a GREAT movie! at least i thought it was. i kinda chuckled to myself when like half the people got up and left as soon as the credits started.

[musturde]

STAY AFTER THE CREDITS. There's a short clip.


(Hmm... edit: this was already posted... twice. Oh well, i left it on. Feel free to laugh.)

Great movie, I was disappointed in the portrayal of sexuality in this one, seemed much higher and some of the scenes were pretty graphic, seemed to mix sex with violence. Definately not for the young or easily offended.

[Oik]

It was good.

I have to watch the first two again to decide of I like either better.

Storm didn't have any really awful lines in this one. An improvement over the last two.

Some of the dialogue I admit was sub-par for it's level of production. I don't think that makes it a bad movie. Its a comic movie for crying out loud! It's mainstream!

I liked it for the most part.

It was hyped up a lot and I don't necessarily think its hype matched up to the movie.

The sexual material was increased and I didn't like that. Not necessary to me.


Overall, I was entertained. It was a good third installment. Could it have been better? Yes. It was still good though.

I have to say though, watching this third film made me realize that I not really an X-men fan. It also made me realize I'm not happy with movies in general, aka, i'm very particular in my film interests.

Now I must go watch it AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you sooooooooooooooo much!
