Advantages: Fast-moving plot and a bunch of new characters Disadvantages: A bit far-fetched in places
The first 2 X-Men films, cunningly titled 'X-Men' and X-Men 2', met with success, and not without merit. The first film set the scene, a film awaited for so long. The second built on the success and energy of the first and took it to the next level with a deeper plot. The third, here, is entitled 'X-Men: The Last Stand', so you can see what they're gearing up to, here, can't you? And the thrid film, released in 2006, does not disappoint.
Historical
In 1963, the XMen were created as a comic book idea of men and women possessing quirky mutations due to a defective genetic evolution. It took off, rating as one of the most popular comics, and still goes strong nowadays. Cartoon series have been made, and then in 2000, Bryan Singer directed an all star cast in X-Men. Director and cast returned in 2003 for the sequel, X2.
The Plot ...
Advantages: Special effects are as brilliant as ever Disadvantages: It's not as good as the previous 2 "X-Men" films
the previous films and you might want to rectify that before seeing "X-Men 3", or you run the risk of being completely lost throughout it.
As with "X-Men" 2, a scientist with a mutant child has found a way to mess with the mutant DNA. This time, however, they are claiming to have found a "cure" to the "illness" that causes mutation and have unveiled this to the world. This news is greeted relatively calmly by Professor Xavier, although Storm isn't happy that they are calling the mutation an illness. Even her reaction is nothing compared to Magneto's. Always suspicious of what humans would like to do to mutants, he feels that this "cure" is another step along the path to controlling and eradicating mutants and thinks it is time for the mutants to band together and fight back.
At the same time, there is some evolution within the mutant ...
Personally I love this series, I even liked the anime version. The idea of humans evolving into X-men is not, certainly, an unrealistic one, given the fact that we humans do have a long history of evolution. The movie starts by bringing us back to the Holocaust era, when Magneto first shows us a first hint of his powers, of his capacities to manipulate metals. It also gives us a fine insight of some of the series most important subjects, like Wolverine, Rogue, Storm, and Professor Xavier. This is only the first dvd, which will be continued by other two, more entertaining movies, which will benefit as well, from the extraordinary acting performances made by Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Halle Berry. It also features state-of-the art graphics and special effects. ...
