X-Men 3: The Last Stand

The X-Men, mutant heroes sworn to defend a world that hates and fears them, must face evolution itself in the shape of their former teammate, Jean Grey (Famke Janssen). Possessed with the cosmic power of the Dark Phoenix, the resurrected Jean Grey has become a danger to herself, her mutant comrades and the entire planet. To stave off this imminent threat to humanity, a potential cure is discovered and processed to treat – and ultimately eliminate – genetic mutations once and for all.

As the battle lines are drawn, the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), are aided by new recruits like The Beast (Kelsey Grammer) and Angel (Ben Foster). Together, they must contend with Grey’s new powers, as well as the malevolent Brotherhood – a band of powerful mutants organised under Xavier’s former all, Magneto (Ian McKellen).

Critic Reviews:

• " [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. " – Andrew Sarris

• " While the movie takes itself seriously, not to say solemnly, it's really an occasion for funny, frightening metamorphoses and spectacular effects. " – Philip French

• " Exciting and filled with edge of your seat action that gripped me until the very ending. " – Brian Gibson
