Rating: Null/10 (23 October 2011)

I don't understand why so many people trash this movie! Do they know what a good movie is, this might be the best out of the series! I'm a huge x-men fan, and as a fan there's no way I can not like this movie. Brett Ratner did a great job in taking over after Singer's departure. Brett has a different style from Singer, but different isn't bad. This one has a faster pace then the first two, which I like because it makes things that much more exciting. There's no bathroom breaks here, every scene has something happening, it's very tight in that sense, but Brett never loses track of the story and it's many different characters. I think in the broader sense this film really captures the essence of the x-men, unlike Singer who would spend ten minutes focusing on a signal character, Brett was able to create a story that personified everything the x-men was about. I love the plot, a cure is found for mutants, magneto & the boys look at it as a threat and decide to go to war, and the x-men are trying to create peace. Some mutants question if they want the cure, meanwhile the x-men lose their leaders professor x & cyclops, and Jean Grey becomes dark Phoenix and joins magneto, now if that's not a perfect plot for any x-men movie, then I don't know what is! And no fan should be disappointed with what Brett did with Phoenix, yeah it's not exactly like the comic book, but let's be real, there's no way they could of done that in a live action movie and still be believable. Plus this was the last one, so they had to tie everything together, and he did. He still stayed true to the Phoenix in essence, and I love the way he did it, Phoenix look like a cross between Sissy Spacek in Carrie & Linda Blair in the Exorcist, it was really freaky and intense. Famke Janson was great as Jean. I love the telepathic showdown between professor x & jean at her old house, how could anyone not think that was awesome! When angel shows his wings and flies, AWESOME! When magneto moves the bridge with his powers, AWESOME! When storm spins in the air, like a tornado,AWESOME! Fight between ice man & pyro, which led to Bobby's body turning into ice, AWESOME!The look and casting of Kelsey Grahmer as beast, AWESOME! Who better to play the beast then the man who played Fraiser, the smartest character on TV! His make-up was great, he looks like he came straight out of the comic books! and making him secretary of mutant affairs, is a great use of his character. Seeing Cyclops's eyes for the first time, AWESOME! Seeing the danger room and a sential, AWESOME!, The fast ball effect with wolverine & colossus, AWESOME! Two cliff hanger ending, AWESOME! Rogue getting the cure, AWESOME! and I love seeing my favorite x-men villain, Juggernaut! The costume was great and he had some great moments, like when he went into battle and just ran though solders like they weren't even there! I love the fight between him & kitty, which led to my favorite line, "Don't you know who I am?, I'm the juggernaut,BITCH! After reading those scenes I mentioned, how can you say this was a bad x-men movie? All the actors came back! I like the casting of Elena Page{Juno} as Kitty Pryde, Eric Dane(Grey's Anatomy} as Mutipile Man,Ben Foster as angel, and Vinnie Jones as Juggernaut! THe special effects are great, action is great and I like the score. How dare anyone give this a bad review! My only criticism is maybe it could of been longer and I wish we could of saw more of colossus or give him more lines and juggernaut's cool back story wasn't here, but I love this movie and I'm glad it made a lot of money in the box-office. X-Men the last stand RULES!
