X-Men - The Last Stand

No punches are pulled in X-Men - The Last Stand. The final part of the "X-Men" trilogy is stuffed to bursting point with spectacular action sequences and impressive special effects. Unfortunately, the result is that the film's focus shifts from the series' message of tolerance and the psychological drama about the mutants' self-image to more spectacular but also superficial drama.

In any case, X-Men - The Last Stand is for the initiated only. Even though new mutants are introduced, too much prior knowledge is required that new viewers do not have.

The US government has developed a drug that can cure all the mutants, i.e. turn them into perfectly ordinary humans. Naturally, this threat immediately creates division among the mutants. Professor Xavier wants to try to solve the problem by peaceful means, while Magneto, naturally, intends to take a more aggressive approach. The situation is complicated when Jean Grey suddenly rises from the dead. She has not emerged from her encounter with death entirely unchanged - quite the contrary. Her powers, which now far exceed Xavier's and Magneto's abilities, have become utterly destructive.
