Very rubbish

Rating: 4/10 (28 February 2007)

I'm reviewing the DVD version and I've watched it with both sets of commentary and seen all the deleted scenes but not the Easter Eggs.
The film is too short and would have benefited for most of the deleted scenes being put back in.
The film is based around Jean Greys transformation into Dark Phoenix. And right there the film makers lose everyone who isn't an X-men comic fan.
Killing off Scott (Cyclops), Jean and Charles (Professor Xavier) are all really bad ideas. Even with the little tease that he has moved bodies at the end of the film.
Having Magneto lose his powers (or not?) and Mystique lose her powers too.
The film tries to use big action set pieces to make it watchable. And the fight in Jean's home and at the prison are over done far too much. Vinny Jones is just plain stupid as are Magneto's new sidekicks.
the plot could have been a lot better but it was nice finally see Beast and Jubilee (even if they were in very small roles).
It was totally pointless calling this The Last Stand, as we know they will make an X-men 4.
