Xmen 3: The Last Stand

Rating: 5/10 (12 June 2006)

I can't really give this movie that many stars. The special effects in this movie were amazing, but the writing wasn't that good. There is so much that both directors could have did with this movie and they didn't. I think that is the biggest problem with anything anymore. People have to make things in their own vision. They should have stuck with the story more.
The first mistake was making Jean Gray, Scott Summers, and Storm teachers at the school. They should have been students and they should have been the only students there at the beginning. This includes Iceman, Beast, and Angel, and they could have even added others like Gambit and Kitty. Wolverine, on the other hand, must be added to the movie because people would be looking for him. If mutants weren't just becoming a problem then how would parents know that sending them to a school like this would be a good idea. As time went on they would add more students and have Cyclops, Jean Gray, and Storm as teachers because of there age.
Wolverine was too soft in the movie. OK he did a little bit of slicing and dicing, but he cried when the professor died in X3. That is not like Wolverine at all. He would be upset, but he wouldn't cry.
The Professor dying was just crazy. I don't really know where they are going with this, so I cant say too much about it. All I can say is that he better look like Charles Xavier, not some guy in a coma somewhere else. Also I am curious about Moria and him the next installment, and will Proteus be a big part of the story.
If you are a big fan of X-men, you know about the Savage Land. That I think should have been in one of the movies. Also Sentnels were really under used. Having them only in the Danger Room was stupid.
There were just so much more these movies could have had, and they just messed up. This movie entertaining, don't get me wrong, but it just doesn't stick to the real story very well. In a way I find it very disrespectful to the people who work on this comic book. It just isn't Xmen. The second movie was the best at sticking to the story.
