dont get me wrong, i do love X-men, but all through this movie i was sat saying to my self, "i can see this being the 3rd of twelve, it not more" i see the producers milking this for what they can, the same dammed story line each time but with different mutants. so i guess it depends on where you stand on this so called "last stand"
so here it is, the X-men stand divided, only to be united in one "last stand" to save the world against magneto and his evil band of out cast mutants. charles Xavier has sent his lads in to do his dirty work while he sits in his wheel chair behind a desk teaching his students about ethics when his personal fued with magneto is turning into which ever world war we'd be on in the world of surreal scifi movies. with out giving away too much of the movie, magneto assembles an army of dangerous mutants to combat the Xmen.
although to me the story line was thin, as a generic male this is made up for by plenty of explosions and cool weapons :D humans turn what they believe to be the "cure for mutation" and harness it as lethal weapon, combating both sides, that of magneto and Xavier. but it all gets a bit wierd and comic book like during the finalae when magnetos powers get so great he moves the golden gate bridge (ok, thats worth buying the film just to see that bit) and im big on attention to detail, and i musta missed something that said magneto was pretty much a god of metal rather than its manipulator.
dont buy it unless youve seen the other two, or you will be just plain confused.
ok, in this new era of entertainment, special features are everything, each DVD trying to be that extra 8 hours long than the block buster before it, and Xmen 3 really just doesent hack it.
2 different Audio Commentarys - honestly, but what is the point in that being called a special feature, every dvd has it
22 deleted scenes - which were all pretty pointless and had an average running time of 8 seconds
3 alternate endings - which were all pretty pointless with little/no variation bar a few camera angle changes.
Easter eggs - which im sure as bland as this dvd is, will do exactly what it says on the tin and try and drain another barrel for something zaney and special
Sneak preview of the simpsons movie - alright, that just does it for me, that movies gonna get enough bloody exposure when its ready for release, i dont want it cluttering up my dvds "special features" section, whack it with the other trailers at the beggining.
and Disc two hosts some galleries of still shots, some featurettes which bored me to tears and some more freaking trailers.
ok, so Fox must have given them like $30 million to make this, they probably spent 20 million on the film, couldnt think of a way to pass off " expansion to the producers salary" so spent the last $10m on crap to fill up a couple of 4.7gb DVDs and knock em off for £15.99 each. great. rather dust off the old VCR and get it on video for £2.99 in the petrol station bargain bin in the summer.
nice one fox, a tollerable movie and a waste of plastic DVD ensamble well done brett ratner n co.
Not.

I have seen the first two of these films and thought they were a bit samey, it's all special effects and very little story/plot. Ellie.

I still prefer the 1st film. Although the 2nd was quite good, it didn't really carry on the story. The Last Stand was good for special effects, but the ending was a let down.
