X-men the last stand REVIEW

[phoenix_force]

X-Men The Last Stand" represents a significant ramping up of story, characters, effects and battles over the previous films.Director Brett Ratner Surpasses
his preceedor Bryan Singer by delivering the Absolutely mind blowing conclusion of the trilogy while staying true to singer’s version of “the x world” in X-Men The Last Stand" there are many stories unfolding and it goes much deeper into the character arcs, now while I despise characters returning from the dead as restructions tend to make films less realistic however the return of Janssen’s character (Jean Grey) makes me even more impressed with this film . the film opens with a flashback scene showing younger versions of Patrick stewart (professor Charles Xavier) and Sir Ian Mckellan (as Magneto) first meeting with the young Jean Grey a 9 year old girl with extraordinary powers surpassing even Xavier and magneto this flashback Proves that this isn’t the casual superhero flick no the characters are very complex we see how one of the hero’s of the franchise (Xavier) feels jealousy and f ear towards a 9 year old girl and placing in her mind something to block her powers .The next scene shows that James Marsden (Cyclops ) is still mourning his fiancé Dr Jean Grey
it also showing the tense relationship between Cyclops and Wolverine (hugh jackman) . after that there is a scene that is probably the worst in the movie showing the x-men training in a room called “the danger room” while having terrible effects and being completely unrealistic it introduces us to some new characters and their powers. The film goes on showing Dr Hank Mccoy (another blue mutant ) who is actually working with the government in the “department of mutant affairs” this scene makes it clear that the world has evolved since X2 and that the government has become more accepting of mutants to the extend of allowing them to work in the government. We are the introduced to the character of Angel (played by Ben Foster ) who’s mutation has caused him to have wings on his back he is arguing with his father about taking “a cure” it includes a flashback showing how distressed Angel was as a child about his “wings” that he at one point attempted to cut them off his father remind him of this and Angel Agrees to take the cure. We are then showing that the government is going to great measures to apprehend the mutant “terrorists” it shows a containment vehicle transporting 3 mutant criminals including Rebecca Romjin’s mystique (the blue shape shifter ) and new characters Juggernaut and Multiple Man (played by Vinnie Jones and Eric Dane ) .then we see a scene of Dr hank Mccoy arguing with the president about giving mutants “a cure” which has been developed by a Dr Kavita Rao . we then see Cyclops again leaving the x mansion on his motorcycle to mourn Jean Grey at alkali lake . then we see a scene of Magneto and Pyro at a church infront of a crowd of mutants who’s leader is the beautiful Calisto Magneto talks about the cure and how they are superior to humans convincing them to stand against the cure . We then have a scene of Dr hank Mccoy at the X-mansion he is apparently an old friend of Xavier’s and he talks to Xavier and the X-men about the cure . then it switches again to Magneto and Pyro who attack the Government transport vehicle and free Mystique , Juggernaut and Multiple Man . then we are back at the X-mansion and Xavier tells the x-men that he senses that there is something wrong at alkali lake and tells Storm and Wolverine to go thereWe then have a scene outside a building where there are mutants queing up to take the cure but there is also another group of mutants there protesting against the cure once again this movie surprises me by showing the true gravity of the situation and showing all the different views there are on “ the mutant cure “ . we then return to alkali lake where we see a highly emotional Cyclops blasting at the lake in anger but as he blasts at the lake something happens a light glows in the center of the lake and cyclops’s optic blasts reflect back towards him throwing him backwards and a woman rises from the lake looking scared and wild Jean Grey somehow returned from the dead There is then a very emotional reunion between Cyclops and Jean Grey however Jean Grey is not herself she takes off Cyclops’s glasses and uses her powers to hold back his blasts . however Jean Grey appears to be having hallucinations and starts scream and we see that she is recalling Cyclops shooting optic blasts towards her (which happened in X2 when Cyclops’s mind was being controlled ) and she seems to lose control and stops holding back Cyclops’s optic blasts we see an explosion . in this scene Janssen’s portrayal of Jean Grey was amazing it was a highly emotional scene with great effects much better than the horrible Cyclops blast effects in the train station in X1 . The next scene shows us that Magneto has set up a sort of gathering in the woods and mutants are gathering there another one of the bad things in this film is that Magneto’s followers all seem to be wearing Punk style clothes . We are then returned to alkali lake where storm and wolverine seem to have arrived they find to their immense the body of Jean Grey lieing in front of them there is no sign of Cyclops and Jean Grey while being unconscious seems to still be using her powers there are rocks just floating around her .

Are Gambit, Omega Red, Cannonball, Avalanche, Phat or Husk in X3?
Which mutant have also a cameo and which powers use the no-name-mutants?
Does use all the X-Kids (Jubilee, Syrin, Artie, Jones, Flea and perhaps other) their powers?

Yeah, I would like also to see the traditional X-men characters and not the new ones. If ever that this will be last movie of X-men, they should include the main characters in the cartoon-series edition. But I guess they can't find the actors that will perform the act.
