Rating: 8/10 (14 May 2007)

Once again the Marvel comic group who were born with genetic mutations that give them superpowers . Thus, wheel-chair-bound intelligent telepathic Charles Xavier , Professor X (Patrick Stewart) , runs a young mutants school to help others learn to utilize their extraordinary mutant powers . He has appointed successor to Storm (Halle Berry) , but Scott Summer (James Mardsen) , AKA Cyclops , is grieved for death Jane Grey (Famke Janssen) . The sheer mass of water that collapsed on top of Jean should have obliterated her . But she's alive and the role most important results to be for Jane Grey . The only explanation of Jean's survival in that her powers wrapped her in a cocoon of telekinetic energy . Jane is only class five mutant-like Xavier , her potential limitless, her mutation is seated in the unconscious part of her mind and therein lay the danger . When she was a girl , Xavier created a series of psychic barriers to isolate her powers from her conscious mind and Jean developed a dual personality : the conscious Jean , whose powers were always in her control and the dormant side . A personality that , in the sessions with Xavier , came to call itself Phoenix . A purely instinctual creature , all desire and joy and rage . Far more critical is whether the woman in front of us is the usual Jane or the Phoenix furiously struggling to be free . Xavier attempts to restore the psychic blocks and cage the beast again . He has a terrible choice to make , he chooses the lesser of two evil . In the meantime , a so-called mutants cure will be available to the public , reaction has run the gamut with mutants on both sides of the line,some are desperate for this cure while others are offended by the very idea of it . After discovering a new cure dispensed by a mutant (Cameron Bright) , they can to choose among retain their extraordinaries abilities or becoming ordinary men . Again the good guys mutants , Storm (Halle Berry) , Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) , Beast (Kelsey Grammar) accompanied with newcomers or secondaries in former entries as Angel (Ben Foster) , Rogue (Anna Panquin) , Iceman (Shawn Ashmore) ,Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) , Jubilee (Wong), Colossus , among them, against the bad guys mutants , of course the first , Magneto (Ian Mckellen) lead Mutant Brotherhood formed by Juggerneaut (Vinnie Jones) , Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), Pyro (Aaron Stanford) , Callisto (Dania Ramirez) , among others and they feel mankind is expendable . Meanwhile , the teen romance between Rogue and Iceman is broken with the subsequent jealousy by Rogue , when Iceman develops a friendship with Kitty Pryde , then she flees of the school of Professor Xavier.
The story is more complex and thoughtful to follow than previous entries for newbies and takes itself seriously and displays interesting characters involving new mutants . The screenplay provides a well-executed and exciting final solution and ties the threads were leaving in the first and second part . Special effects by John Bruno are fantastic but they don't overshadow the story . The film contains an impressive , breathtaking ending battle plenty of 3D computer generator effects . It appears uncredited the usual cameo by comic-books authors : Stan Lee , as a water-hose man and Chris Claremont ,as a lawnmower man. It contains lively and spectacular musical score by John Powell and colorful cinematography by Dante Spnotti .The motion picture was professionally directed by Brett Ratner . The setup calls for a four part and I hope to be continued . It's a must see for Marvel fans and X Men enthusiasts .
