Memento Mori Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 IMHO best of the 3. Actually contains a genuinely sad moment. 8/10. Great writing made up for Brett Ratner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylovelyangel Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 hmm, but nothing beats Mystique and Rogue.. my favouritesbut I'm actually not that into it, I just love the cartoon and so I like the movies. You might be dissapointed Just saw it, II story line was defiantly better then this one. III was visually stunning specially the end scene with Phoenix. Everything went to fast it seemed. I don't know I just thought the flow was off a little, defiantly lost some of that Singer spirit. Overall the acting was a little down from II, they could have done better. I thought the movie could have been amazing if they stretched it a little longer because it seemed short. Thank god for no corny one liners I still remember Storm from 1, "You know what happens to a toad when its struck by lightning, the same thing that happens to everything else" (laugh). But there is defiantly a bunch of ass kicking, some amazing cinematic scenes with the golden gate bridge, Alcatraz, and a car scene. I don't want to reveal anything about the movie give people a chance to see it, which yes I do recommend, I found it very entertaining. Break down in point/emotion system: 7/10 Positive Plus 3 to Phoenix Plus 1 for Jackman Plus 1 for Angel Plus 1 the ending :shock: Plus 1 for sentinel head Negative: Minus 1 because it was short Minus 1 because the characters scene transition was too fast Minus 1 point for Magneto/Mystique ( You will se what I mean) :yuckky: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 Phoenix .. but I always found Jean soooooo boring like I know her powers are cool, but even in the cartoon she was no fun Minus 1 point for Magneto/Mystique ( You will se what I mean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mylovelyangel Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Some smaples of reviews for those who don't look anywhere else Atlanta Journal-Constitution Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "Not Xceptional, but still quite entertaining." more... B- Boston Globe Wesley Morris "At a comparatively slender 108 minutes, the movie manages to cram in even more, without producing outrage at the short shrift some characters will get." more... B Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "I liked the action, I liked the absurdity, I liked the incongruous use and misuse of mutant powers..." more... B Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington "It's not stuporous, and it's not super." more... B- E! Online "...Ratner sticks close to the look and feel of the first two, even while amping up the action with some spectacular set pieces..." more... A- Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "This is interesting stuff. So why does The Last Stand feel driven to dumb itself down, as if embarrassed by its own ideas?" more... B- filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "It's too much material for one movie. Last Stand has as many characters as a deck has cards." more... C Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen "Super visual effects aside, the trilogy's final chapter is a pale mutation of its predecessors." more... C New York Post Lou Lumenick "The Last Stand isn't awful, but Ratner lacks Singer's subtlety and ability to cleanly navigate convoluted story lines crammed with super-powered characters." more... B- New York Times Manohla Dargis "...generically serviceable..." more... C ReelViews James Berardinelli "...the first blockbuster of the 2006 summer season that hasn't caused me to shake my head with disappointment." more... B Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...the third and weakest chapter in the X-Men series..." more... C San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...a cut above the previous two X-Men movies in that it comes up with an arresting premise..." more... C Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...an eye-filling fantasy extravaganza and a big crowd-pleaser." more... B USA Today Claudia Puig "...expands on the themes of discrimination and alienation explored in the first two films, and still retains the franchise's signature kick-butt action features." more...

SympathysSilhouette Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 The critics who say that it's too short are right. It could have used another 20-25 minutes to delve more into the mind of Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylovelyangel Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 no movie is perfect, but the fact that everyone thought it would fail behind the direction of Brett, well they can jsut take that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SympathysSilhouette Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 He was smart to build on the tone, style and storylines from the first two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
