The final in X-Men trilogy, based on the mutant characters from the most popular comic of the last couple of decades. And, it's the first not to be directed by Bryan Singer who's off doing the new Superman movie.
A mutant "cure" has been developed. Now our mutant friends have for the first time, a choice between retaining their uniqueness which alienates them, or giving up their powers and become normal, respectable human beings. The opposing viewpoints of rival leaders Charles Xavier (Stewart), who preaches tolerance, and Magneto (McKellen), who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate test - triggering the war to end all wars. Jean Grey's back from the dead also.

Empire Magazine"Given the amount of action and life-changing events which occur in X-Men: The Last Stand, you'd expect to feel more moved. But this third outing for the spandex-clad mutant superheroes and villains is surprisingly short of real emotion. X-Men 2 is regarded by many fans as one of the best comicbook movies ever made.
