Much like the popcorn I ate while watching, it was kind of tasty but not very satisfying.
OK . First thing first … I have to give props to Brett Ratner for stepping into this X - Men flick at the last possible moment and putting it together in an crazily short amount of time . It was scantily a year between the time Ratner come onboard and the pic showed up at your local multiplex . I still do n’t know how they manage to do it .
Right here is where I wanted to say " And now for the bad news program … " , but really it ’s not so much defective as it is tepid ( you know , lukewarm ) . :-)
If there was any dubiousness about all the statements amount from those involved in the yield thatX - man : The Last Standwould indeed be the last full - on X - Men movie I ’m here to tell you that they were n’t kidding . Either that or they ’ll have to chalk this entire film up as a dream sequence a la that one time of year where the TV showDallasjumped the shark . This is it , folks , and they ’re not subtle about it at all .
Yes , characters die , but not only that , some characters recede their mutant ability , and I ’m not talking about the duplicate . Although I ’ll render to make that the extent of the raider in this followup .
The film open up 20 year in the past with a much young Charles Xavier and Eric Lensher ( pre - Magneto ) shoot the breeze a pre - teenaged Jean Grey . The especial personal effects crew did an alternately really coolheaded and creepy Book of Job on making these two guys look much younger . At time it was really convincing , and during a match of shot it looked like Botox extend horribly awry , but I digress .
It turns out that Miss Grey is a " Class 5 mutant " putting her either on par with Charles or even above him in power level . We come to find that Charles put a series of pulley in her mind to screen her from the fact that she is in fact such a powerful mutant in parliamentary law to protect her and others . Problem is that he could n’t quite bury it far enough and it lurks just beneath the aerofoil . We are also innovate to Warren Worthington III ( aka Angel ) as a young male child , cope with his ( as far as he sees it ) deformity .
From there we are choose to a battle scene with Wolverine , Storm , Kitty Pryde ( on the face of it the only mutant on the planet without a nerveless " handle " ) and a hard underutilized throughout the film Colossus . The point being that " they ’re not ready " , thus saith Wolverine .
before long Xavier and Cyclops each get a psychical shot upside the head indicating that Jean Grey ’s cognizance is still possibly alive out there . Cyclops goes off to Alkali Lake where Jean supposedly perish and lo and behold she appears to him , alive but slenderly creepy .
On another raceway , the story is following the innovation of a new drug that can heal mutants of their force and make them into patent honest-to-goodness homosapiens . Some mutant rejoice at the news while others are outraged . Of course it starts out with the powers that be stating that it will be completely voluntary , but that does n’t cease them from developing arm which can deliver the drug from a distance . Of course Magneto becomes drawing card of the " Brotherhood " while the X - Men wrestle with the ethic of the so - called cure .
Enough about the plot … is it anygood , you ask ?
Well … sort of , but not really . Of course you need more than that . :-)
There is plenty of legal action in the movie to apologise its existence as a superhero / natural action moving-picture show . No doubt . Big output while with hundreds of mutants , fireball , the great unwashed fly through the air and smashing stuff and so on . The problem is that there is n’t really much else to draw you in . Also there are moments where the lack of production time come through and it looks like they stint here and there .
See the problem is that a LOT happen in this motion picture that should have enough of an emotional shock to make you experience like you ’ve been sound off in the intestine . Except it does n’t . At all . And that stink because with the things that go on to characters we make out in this moving-picture show we should leave the movie dramatic art dumbstruck and shaking our heads at the expiration .
Now I ’m not a filmmaker , so I ca n’t put my digit on what exactly the job is but I reckon it ’s a combination of both script , focusing and public presentation ( what else is there , right ? ) . I ’m certain that you ’ve get a line by now that main characters die in the flick . With one of them you ’ll blink if you overleap it , and wonder if you DID miss it , another has some impingement , but by the terminal of the scene actually makes you interview whether it could have been stopped . The third one at least does have some impact , but that ’s more attributable to the character we all know is the star of these X - films . It was in reality more jarring ( and one of the advantageously handled scenes in the film ) to see one of the mutants lose their major power involuntarily and what happen to them afterwards .
The other thing that really confuse me is whether or not there is a ringer of Halle Berry walk around out there . This can NOT possibly be the same actress who has won an OSCAR for crying out loud ! Nope , I resist to believe it . In one scene she hand over a eulogium for one of the characters who has died and it was stone , cold boring . This was a scene that should have had a potent encroachment but it fell altogether and utterly mat . Imagine being at a funeral and the paean is so timeworn and dull that you chance yourself looking at your vigil . plainly abominable . There was even a cast-off line by Ian McKellan towards the destruction that made me cringe .
X-Men: The Last Stand is the third and final installment in Bryan Singer’s original X-Men trilogy. It adapts Marvel’s famous “Dark Phoenix” storyline, with Famke Janssen’s Jean Grey embracing her supernatural power to unleash chaos on mutantkind. Fox’s 2006 superhero movie brings back franchise mainstays such as Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, Patrick Stewart’s Professor X, and Ian McKellen’s Magneto, and it introduces major mutant characters such as Kelsey Grammer’s Beast, Ben Foster’s Angel, and Vinnie Jones' Juggernaut.
They do manage to throw the sports fan a bone or two … we see the Danger Room briefly , a Sentinel make a semi - appearance , Kelsey Grammar as The Beast really worked reasonably well , I thought ( decent down to the " stars and garter " remark ) , and the portrayal of Jean Grey as Phoenix was pretty well done , with some shot of her reminding me of the Dark Phoenix saga from the comics 20 years ago . We even at last get to see Bobby Drake whole " ice up " . I also really like the guy rope they picked to be Juggernaut . That dude just has to be a variation in real spirit ! And of course once again Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is the actual star of the film .
So overall , it really was disappointing , but at least it pitch some action , tidbits for the fan and a few suprises . The problem was that by the time they were done , the suprises did n’t seem to mean as much as they should .
