The discovery of a cure for mutations leads to a turning point for Mutants (Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn, Kelsey Grammer). They may now choose to give up their powers and become fully human or retain their uniqueness and remain isolated. War looms between the followers of Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who preaches tolerance, and those of Magneto (Ian McKellen), who advocates survival of the fittest.

Critics Consensus

X-Men: The Last Stand provides plenty of mutant action for fans of the franchise, even if it does so at the expense of its predecessors' deeper character moments.

Sillier than the Singer versions, Ratner's movie is also -- for this less-than-reverent X-Men fan -- more satisfying.

X-Men: The Last Stand has shifted the shape of the franchise from pretty good, if uninspired, to terrifically entertaining.

[I] found myself strangely moved by the sense of relationships, friendly and unfriendly, coming to an end in a dull return to normality in the world of humans and mutants.

What a shocking way to throw out all the good will you built with two surprisingly effective X-Men movies.

2/4

At several points during The Last Stand, I wondered how many plots and subplots one film could handle, and ultimately, they all proved to be too much for one 104-minute movie.

The first 15 minutes are really good then it falls off of a cliff. Everything that was set up in the previous two movies is just thrown out the window and killed in front of your face. In that respect this is movie is the equivalent of Star Wars the Last Jedi. Since both just take everything and throw it out the window. This movie is also the equivalent of spider man 3, in that there are so many characters and so many plot lines that it gets confusing. Basically you can summarize this movie as whatever you could possibly do wrong as the final movie in a trilogy do it and exude it terribly. This movie made me mad while watching it.

2nd worst film of the franchise after Dark Phoenix. Great set up with this cute thing but then becomes convoluted and confusing. Like why are the X-men defending the cure at all costs?

Total chaos in the best way possible! The mutant cure plot line and the dark Phoenix power-up create so much tension and high-stakes action. Alcatraz battle was epic. 5 stars to fight the haters, this movie is legendary

Esta pelicula me gusto pero siento que desperdiciaron a muchos personajes a los cuales pudieron sacarle mas potencial, viendo las escenas eliminadas puedo decir que ello habría aportado mas desarrollo a algunos personajes. Respecto a la escena final siento que para el año en que se desarrollo la pelicula pudo ser épico pero en la actualidad ese final necesitaba mas desarrollo y darle una muerte mas memorable algunos personajes.

Excellent, the entire trilogy is great. Everything after the original trilogy, starting with First Class screws up the timeline.

X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) has big action and major story moments like the Phoenix storyline, but it feels rushed and doesn’t fully develop its characters, making it a decent but weaker entry compared to the first two films.
