X-Men III - The Last Stand Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

X-Human-Person-Thingy

Ok best explain that i hated all the X-Men films. Yeah the first two were good films but as Xmen films they were terrible.

Why take the name of something that you have no intention of being faithful to? Why not make a superman film with Superman in it for 10 minutes then follow batman taking a holiday on Mars fighting Darth Vader. (ok a bit OTT)

But seriously these films have very little to do with the true Xmen. Then have the stupidity to ruin what characters they do involve.

This thrid film is the worst of them all, It destroys everything that was wrongly built up in the first two films then rushes through the film putting one set piece together with another! If you like Xmen AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!

Truly just a sequel

All this movie really shares with its excellent forebares is the fantastic cast, unfortunately everthing else about it is just the so-so production values we used to associate with a cash in sequel.

Brett Ratner is just not that great of a director, he has no idea how to handle a large bunch of characters in an ensemble action flick so everyone just gets kinda lost under his gaze.

The script has become blunt and unsubtle with a plot that I'm sure has some fanboy howlers in it. Wasn't there meant to be some alien presence?

The effects are vast and extensive but often look technicallly poor to mediocre with many looking like they hit the release date before they were finished, ala the 'Mummy returns'.

All in all it's just a lesser movie and an unworthy sequel, moderately entertaining but nothing more.
