The discovery of a cure for mutations leads to a turning point for Mutants (Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Rebecca Romijn, Kelsey Grammer). They may now choose to give up their powers and become fully human or retain their uniqueness and remain isolated. War looms between the followers of Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), who preaches tolerance, and those of Magneto (Ian McKellen), who advocates survival of the fittest.

Critics Consensus

X-Men: The Last Stand provides plenty of mutant action for fans of the franchise, even if it does so at the expense of its predecessors' deeper character moments.

Sillier than the Singer versions, Ratner's movie is also -- for this less-than-reverent X-Men fan -- more satisfying.

X-Men: The Last Stand has shifted the shape of the franchise from pretty good, if uninspired, to terrifically entertaining.

[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.

What a shocking way to throw out all the good will you built with two surprisingly effective X-Men movies.

At several points during The Last Stand, I wondered how many plots and subplots one film could handle, and ultimately, they all proved to be too much for one 104-minute movie.

I see where the hate for this movie comes from. It’s not horrible but most of the negatives just come down to the writing. Don’t get me wrong I really like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine but I think way too many characters were sidelined in favor of putting most of the movie’s focus on him.

It was a unnecessary sequel. The story isn't good, but it's not a bad movie. Mediocre at its best, it's just a jumpstart for more sequels. At least the ending was satisfying.

A huge disappointment that squandered the excellent work built up in the first two films. The script is extremely rushed, killing off iconic characters without any dramatic weight and turning Jean Grey’s transformation into the Dark Phoenix into a mere tool for generic action. The cast—doing what they can with terrible material—and a few entertaining action scenes are the only saving graces. A clumsy and soulless conclusion to the trilogy.

Entertaining, but not as well written I loved too watch this movie but it definitely wasn’t as well written as the two before HUGE SPOILER ALERTS: When the professor was done, aka got shredded to pieces. It was a pretty lazy and dishonorable way to kill one of the main characters Also Jean killing cyclops and turning evil, etc. It just could’ve been written so much better During the movie it was entertaining yet looking back, it’s obvious it’s not a fantastic movie Not to mention colossus and juggernaut being done so badly (Deadpool fixed this lol) To be honest I will rate it a 3.5 stars because yet so silly, it was entertaining enough to want to watch the whole thing 3.5 stars

I think I just find these stories completely inert, sorry.

It's not as good as X2. It's still really good though. The special effects still look good today. The movie is loaded with action.
