into a world filled with prejudice are children who possess
extraordinary and dangerous powers the result of unique genetic
mutations. Cyclops unleashes bolts of energy from his eyes.
Storm can manipulate the weather at will. Rogue absorbs the
life force of anymore she touches. But under the tutelage
of Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart), these and other outcasts
learn to harness their powers for the good of mankind. Now
they must protect those who fear them as the nefarious Magneto
(Ian McKellan), who believes human and mutants can never co-exist,
unveils his sinister plan for the future!
Hatred and distrust brew between human and mutankind.
An unprovoked mutant attack on the President gives General
William Stryker (Brian Cox) his long-awaited opportunity to
wage all-out war against the mutants. A war that would leave
only one race victorious. Xavier (Patrick Stewart), Wolverine
(Hugh Jackman), Storm (Halle Berry) and the other X-Men must
unite with their old adversary Magneto (Ian McKellan) to prevent
a devastating confrontation that could destroy everyone on
the planet. In X-Men 2, acclaimed director Bryan Singer delivers
state-of-the-art special effects, explosive action and one
twist after another, X-Men 2 takes excitement to the Xtreme!
In X-Men: The Last Stand, the climax in the
"X-Men" motion picture trilogy, a "cure"
for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history.
For the first time, mutants have a choice; retain
their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or
give up their powers and become human, the opposing viewpoints
of mutant leaders Charles Xavier, who preaches tolerance,
and Magneto, who believes in the survival of the fittest,
are put to the ultimate test, triggering the war to end all
wars.

5 out of 5 - 9 Sep 2006
This movie was absoloutely brilliant. The action
sequencs were amazing and the special effects were outstanding.
This movie was slightly darker than the other films featuring
3 deaths from crucial characters. Famke Janssen (I spy, Hide
and seek) gives a marvelous performance as Jean who after
being resurrected has changed a great deal and is now the
malevolant Phoenix!
Sir Ian mcKellen ( Lord of the rings, the davinci
code) as usual outshines everyone as the master of magnetism
as he leads an army of rebellious mutants who are attacking
the humans for making a 'CURE' for mutancy. Rogue obviously
has mixed feeling about this as we see her go into the building
in which powers are tken away....
Kelsey Grammer ( The big empty, teachers pet)
gives a long awaited performance as the furry beast! as does
Ben foster(alpha dog, hostage ) in his role as the winged
angel. The storyline mixes two of the most crucial series
in x-men history together, the war with magneto and dark phoenix.
Halle Berry aka. storm ( die another day, swordfish) gets
much more crucialrole in this film but i warn you that if
you are a cyclops fan you will be very disappionted as will
you be if you are a mystique fan.
Professor X , Patrick Stewart (eleventh hour,
Bambi 2) faces a sad end in this film. Wolverine, Hugh jackman
(Van Helsing, standing room only) for once is not the centre
of attention but plays a crucial part in the phoenix storyline.
This movie does not dissapiont and you will
be watching it over again!!!
