X men 3 opinion

Rating: 5/10 (27 May 2006)

X-Men The Last Stand was a good attempt to bring the Marvel super heroes to the big screen. Of the three it contains the best acting and finally some of the mutants fly. However the sequel, X2 X-Men United remains the strongest of the trilogy. There were some very good things about the movie such as Famke Janssen's performance of Phoenix, Storm was a lot stronger and some of the mutants looked like their comic book counterparts (Iceman who appears fully in ice!). Kitty Pryde rocked in the movie as did Beast. They finally did get one character right and that was the Beast, he was awesome during the fighting scene. The Phoenix was really the saving grace of the movie, the scene in her childhood house was brilliant and Storm finally flew and used lightning through her hands (very exciting!) However there are some problems. If they wanted to give Storm a edgier new hair style why not just give her the mo-hawk. Also, they put second rate villains from the comic into the movie such as Arclight and Callisto. Since this is the last movie why not use Emma Frost and Omega Red or Quick Silver and the Scarlett Witch. Psylocke the mutant with psi blades was just a joke. She absolutely did nothing and they didn't even show her true powers, what a waste of a fantastic character! Why didn't they put her on the x men team, I mean she could have been an older student of Charles Xavier's like the Beast was. And the running time of the movie was just too SHORT! I am a huge fan of the comics and though it seems like I didn't like the movie, I was happy with the final product. Lastly, since this is the last movie, this should have been the time for mutant cameos. Mutants like Emma Frost, Gambit, Polaris, Sage, X 23, Bishop, Forge, Cable, Dazzler, Dust, Stepford Cuckoos and Apocalypse should have been shown in at least in one scene and why didn't they put Jubilee on the team, I mean the character was in all the films and she did nothing, you don't even see her powers (that deleted scene on the X2 DVD does not count!) The mutants cameos they did just plain sucked! I mean who really likes Spike, and some guy who can grow his arms back and a guy listed in the credits as Lizaed Man.
