X-Men: The Last Stand is incredible

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2006)

X-Men: The Last Stand is quite possibly my favorite movie of all time. I don't know if a movie has ever excited me as much as this one. X1 and X2 both left me incredibly disappointed. But X3 delivers everything that I've always hoped would be in an X-Men movie. I love how X3 finally focused on the team as a whole, and not just Wolverine. I love how Bobby and Rogue are official X-Men now. I love how Jean Grey gets superior character development- Jean/Phoenix is the best thing about an amazing movie. Her reunion with Scott is magnificent. She finally looks like Jean Grey, standing there with her long flaming red hair and her skin tight suit. And that scene is the only time in the whole trilogy where there is any passion between Scott and Jean. Then the scene with Jean and Wolverine is the sexiest comic book movie scene ever. Watching Jean switch back and forth between her personas was an amazing experience. Add in her killer lines such as "this is where we first met", "He would know wouldn't he", and "Kill me", not to mention the telepathic belt removal and the sexiest walk ever- and this scene is perfect. And the battle at Jean Grey's house is the most thrilling sequence ever put to film. The emotion, the drama- Jean finally asserting herself, taking her revenge on the man who held her back for so long, who robbed her of her childhood, who harbored a naughty crush on her, meanwhile Magneto looks on in horror, Storm and Wolverine battle downstairs and Wolverine stabs his way up- this is epic cinema.
I could go on and on: Magneto's exhilarating rescue of Mystique, finally seeing some Danger Room action, a pitch perfect Beast. welcome aboard Kitty, Colossus, Angel, and Juggernaut! it sure is nice to see you. heck i'm even excited to see Moira McTaggert and Psylocke. the shot in the finale of our six heroes all lined up ready to take a last stand was awesome. the team focus was awesome. Bobby icing up was awesome. Kitty vs. Juggs was awesome. and did i mention Jean Grey looked hot? hopefully i covered all the reasons why this movie is the best in the trilogy. don't listen to people who say it's no good- this movie delivers in a major way.
