Mutants are on the verge of X-tinction, it seems, when US business Worthington Industries discovers a cure for mutation. This scientific breakthrough complicates and intensifies the battle - both physical and ideological - between Professor X's integration-friendly X-Men and the human-hating muties let by Magneto … When a special medicinal cure for mutants is created by a government funded laboratory, a choice is to be made by mutants all over the world. However, this does not sit well with Prof. X and his X-Men, who are questioning about the situation. But Magneto sees this news as a threat and begins to build a mutant army in order to destroy it. On the other hand, in light of the returning Jean Grey, the X-Men find that they are not only up against Magneto and his Brotherhood, but a deadly force more powerful than anything that came before. I have very mixed feelings about this film. SPOILERS… There were points I enjoyed, things I liked. As a fan of the comics, I saw many nods to the audience that were appreciated. The acting was strong (given what the actors had to work with), the action was good, but… there were several mistakes made with this. I can't help but think that these moments I enjoyed could have been in a movie that worked very well cinematically (which X2 did), which this didn't. Why knock out half of your established characters in the third movie of a trilogy and add new ones? I'll take one Mystique, who has been built into a strong character over the course of two films, than 10 anonymous mutants who only serve as a means to show off CGI. The treatment of Cyclops was inexcusable, and the death that happened halfway through the film angered me so greatly that I almost walked out. After the credits, I felt much better, but I still can't help but feel that so much more could have been done with this. If only FOX had been willing to wait a year and get Singer back at the helm. If only they hadn't trimmed Mardsen's part down for his involvement with Superman Returns. If only the script writer had worked with the characters that had been developed in the previous two films, instead of tossing them out the window and starting at square one. I guess I'll enjoy this one, but I think that I'll always dream about the film that could have been… Sure there were some flaws, but in my opinion, they were minor or were hindered by how short the movie was (each movie should have been 30 minutes longer).<br/><br/>Better characterization than the Singer movies and a good balance of interaction, action, and plot.<br/><br/>If they were going to alter her origin, Phoenix was very well done and damn wonderful when she was unleashed. Nice effects. Hugh Jackman as usual is the best Wolverine will ever be and the Beast was a very pleasant surprise. Storm was better, but that will happen when you give a character some lines.<br/><br/>Complaints: an extension of some of the plot points: Leech, Jean was not utilized for much of the last quarter of the movie, the cure is still out there, Scott Summer's portion, a little more CGI on some parts (i.e. Sentinel).<br/><br/>Overall, as a comic geek and a movie goer, both of me are satisfied with this. If little else, the third and supposedly final entry in the X-Men mega-franchise suggests that some movies – or at any rate some formulas – are not just critic-proof, they might even be director-proof. An antibody that suppresses the mutant gene has been found using the DNA of a young mutant boy named Jimmy/Leech (<a href="/name/nm1080974/">Cameron Bright</a>), and those mutants who don't want to be "cured" find themselves lining with either Professor Charles Xavier (<a href="/name/nm0001772/">Patrick Stewart</a>) and the integration-friendly X-Men or with the human-hating Brotherhood, led by Xavier's former ally, Magneto (<a href="/name/nm0005212/">Ian McKellen</a>). Meanwhile, Jean Grey (<a href="/name/nm0000463/">Famke Janssen</a>), the only Level 5 mutant known, has re-appeared (after being killed in X2), but is she the same Jean Grey and whose side will she be on? X-Men: The Last Stand is the third movie in the X-Men film series, which is based on the Marvel comic book series X-Men created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1962, preceded by <a href="/title/tt0120903/">X-Men (2000)</a> (2000) and <a href="/title/tt0290334/">X2 (2003)</a> (2003), and followed by <a href="/title/tt0458525/">X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)</a> (2009), <a href="/title/tt1270798/">X: First Class (2011)</a> (2011), <a href="/title/tt1430132/">The Wolverine (2013)</a> (2013), <a href="/title/tt1877832/">X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)</a> (2014), <a href="/title/tt3385516/">X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)</a> (2016), and <a href="/title/tt3315342/">Logan (2017)</a> (2017); with the Deadpool film series being loosely related. The film's script is loosely based on two X-Men comic books stories: "The Dark Phoenix Saga" and "Gifted". The screenplay was written by American screenwriters Simon Kinberg and Zak Penn. Xavier explains that the only way she could have survived was that her powers wrapped her in a cocoon of telekinetic energy. Unfortunately, it comes with a price. It appears to have awakened her subconscious mind and unleashed the uncontrolled, instinctual side of her called the Phoenix. Scott Summers/Cyclops (<a href="/name/nm0005188/">James Marsden</a>) can't control his optic blasts when his eyes are open. The original history of the character, according to Marvel canon, has always maintained that Summers lost the ability to control the beams when he and his brother survived a fall—the impact somehow permanently disrupted the control he would have had. When he was young, a doctor/scientist developed "ruby quartz" lenses that contain the beams, and Scott was required to wear them continuously. In the first film and in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, when his eyewear was forcibly removed from his face, his eyes let loose an uncontrolled blast; a similar incident happens in the train station in the first X-Men film when Toad does the same thing. He was afraid the same thing would happen when he faced Jean. Already experiencing the power of the Phoenix, however, Jean neutralized Scott's power permanently. It may refer to this full quote: To every man there comes a time in his lifetime, that special moment when he is figuratively tapped on the shoulder and offered that chance to do a very special thing, unique to him and fitted to his talents. What a challenge if that moment finds him unprepared or unqualified for that work. The film explains that the weapons used against mutants are made entirely of plastic, including the needles. The US military developed plastic weapons specifically to do battle with Magneto. Also, many objects that are usually made of metal such as knives and needles can also be made of ceramic materials, so this may have been the case as well. Jean would have destroyed it and would have killed Wolverine in the attempt. Proof that the cure wouldn't have worked is evident when she vaporizes the entire squad of troops that arrives after Magneto is cured. Phoenix easily stops the cure projectiles in mid-air and destroys them. Also, if Jean had lost her mutant powers instead of dying, she no doubt would have suffered psychological effects to her dual personalities. More importantly, Logan knows from their experience at Alkali Lake that Jean wants to die. She is equally confused, as are the other X-Men, when she miraculously survived the flood. She pleaded with Logan to kill her "before she kills someone else." Wolverine simply put her out of her misery. Multiple Man (<a href="/name/nm0199312/">Eric Dane</a>) does not die in the final battle. He doesn't even participate. He is captured by authorities in the Brotherhood camp in the woods. Magneto used him as a diversion to make it appear as if the mutants were still at the camp. In reality, Magneto and his band of mutants were long gone, heading for Alcatraz Island. Juggernaut (<a href="/name/nm0005068/">Vinnie Jones</a>) is last seen chasing Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat through the Alcatraz facility when she rescues Leech. Kitty's ability to phase through matter gets her to Leech, but Juggernaut soon catches up. Juggernaut tries to kill both, but Leech's ability of nullifying mutant powers ultimately saves them from death. The impact against the wall renders Juggernaut unconscious. His fate is also unknown but, again, it is assumed he lives however, he could still be out cold if the authorities found him. He could then be put back into the same sort of custody he was in when Magneto freed him. Pyro (<a href="/name/nm0822155/">Aaron Stanford</a>) is seen in the final battle facing off with Iceman. He seems to have the upper hand until Iceman (for the first time) turns his whole body into ice, then subsequently freezes Pyro's hands, disabling the devices that create fire. Iceman then headbutts Pyro, knocking him out. His fate is unknown but the novelization describes Drake carrying him to safety as the facility around them collapses. Wolverine injects Magneto with the mutant "cure", stripping him of his powers. As the Phoenix destroys the Alcatraz compound all around her, Wolverine attempts to crawl towards her, knowing that he's the only one who can regenerate fast enough to get close to Jean. They face each other, and Phoenix asks him whether he would die for "them". Wolverine replies, "Not for them…for you." At that moment, Jean's real persona takes over and, with tears in her eyes, asks Wolverine to save her. "I love you," he says as he stabs her with his claws. Jean dies in his arms, and all the destruction ceases. The scene then changes, and the camera pans over Kitty Pryde/Shadowcat (<a href="/name/nm0680983/">Ellen Page</a>) and Storm looking over the graves of Jean Grey, Scott Summers, and Charles Xavier, casualties of the Mutant War. Inside the school, Iceman (<a href="/name/nm0039162/">Shawn Ashmore</a>) sees that Rogue (<a href="/name/nm0001593/">Anna Paquin</a>) has returned, "cured" but now able to to hold his hand. In another room, Wolverine watches the President on TV, giving a White House Press Conference to introduce the new ambassador to the United Nations—and representative to the world for all U.S. citizens both human and mutant—Doctor Hank McCoy (<a href="/name/nm0001288/">Kelsey Grammer</a>). In the final scene, the now human Erik Lensherr, once known as Magneto, sits alone in a park staring at his chess board. He manages to move one of the metal pieces very slightly, suggesting that his powers may not be totally gone after all. Yes, Dr. Moira MacTaggert (<a href="/name/nm0931404/">Olivia Williams</a>) checks on the brain-dead patient Xavier had spoken about previously. He greets her with Xavier's voice. Startled, she replies, "Charles?" <a href="/name/nm0001086/">Alan Cumming</a> was reportedly uncomfortable with the long hours he had to take with the Nightcrawler makeup in X-Men 2, but still planned to return for X-Men: The Last Stand when Bryan Singer was attached. When Brett Ratner took on the role as director, Alan Cumming (along with Kelly Hu) left the project. Thoughts of replacing Alan Cumming were considered, but the part for Nightcrawler was so minimal that the studio felt it was not worthwhile to go through the long and costly makeup process, so the character was cut. Nightcrawler's absence was explained in X-Men: The Official Game. At some part of the story of the game, Nightcrawler tells Xavier he does not want to be an X-Man, for their lives are too violent and he is a peaceful man. Xavier tells him he is always welcome in the Mansion, and Kurt leaves. In the first film, she was played by <a href="/name/nm0443184/">Sumela Kay</a>, in the second by <a href="/name/nm0835758/">Katie Stuart</a>, and in the third by Ellen Page. In the first and second, her appearances were very brief and did not require very experienced actors. However, her role was bigger in X-Men: The Last Stand, so a more experienced actor was needed. They were in the original treatment written by Bryan Singer. When he left the project, his treatment was disregarded. However, they do make a cameo, as a Sentinel's head is seen in the opening sequence, having been cut off by Wolverine during the simulation in the Danger Room. At the end of X2, William Stryker (<a href="/name/nm0004051/">Brian Cox</a>) implies that Logan was a very different character before his amnesia; someone who did many questionable things. As can be seen in X-Men: Wolverine, Logan was indeed drafted into a team of mutant commandos, doing dirty work for the army. Stryker tries to compel Logan to save him with the promises of helping him discover his past and get his memory back. This prompts Logan to throw his dog tags away and tells Stryker he chooses the X-Men over his past. In this film, we don't see anymore of Logan's flashbacks because he is at peace with not knowing everything about his past; he is simply moving on and not trying to remember. Also, the previous films introduced and developed all the characters, this film was more about the war brewing and Jean Grey becoming the Phoenix, so there was no need for continued development on all the characters. For a few characters, this is where their story ends. a5c7b9f00b the Survival of the Fittest full movie in hindi free download hdThe Adventures of Brisco County Jr. malayalam movie downloadEpisode 1.147 malayalam movie downloadEpisode 1.9 movie in hindi free downloadPrimeval movie in tamil dubbed downloadBromans full movie in hindi free download hd 1080pmalayalam movie download TurboWho Killed Nelson Nutmeg tamil dubbed movie free downloadEpisode 1.39 full movie hd downloadLootus 3D movie mp4 download
