  Review by brat pacino ★★ 4

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  every time an x-man would die i'd just brush it off as Fake News, figuring that they'd come back at the end like jean grey does in x2. what a fool i was.

  - RIP cyclops you were wildly disrespected & underdeveloped </3 
  -RIP jean grey you were also disrespected but at least you had more than 2 scenes </3 
  -RIP professor x even though you're somehow miraculously back at it in the post-credits <3

  -also RIP mcsteamy you're in this for like a second & have only one line in the whole movie lol but you'll be missed </3

  "charles xavier did more for mutants than you'll ever know. my single greatest regret is that he had to die for our dreams to live."

  Review by Matt Singer ★★½ 8

  A not-terrible adaptation of Joss Whedon’s first Astonishing X-Men arc mixed with the dirt-worst adaptation possible of “The Dark Phoenix Saga.” Overall, it’s better than its reputation. There are worthwhile bits in here; McKellen gives one of his better performances as Magneto, the Danger Room sequence is a series highlight, Kelsey Grammer’s Beast looks and feels like he stepped right out of a Marvel comic, and I like the way Rogue’s arc plays out.

  But yeah, the Dark Phoenix stuff, yikes and a half. Obviously everything involving the Juggernaut is a ceaseless nightmare. And of course the movies that followed it completely ignored its ending without explanation, which has happened so many times at this point we might as well officially call a series retconning inconvenient plot points from earlier films “X-Menning a franchise.”

  Review by George Clark ★ 23

  Oh X-Men: The Last Stand, you are a true disappointment. A shallow shell of your predecessors, completely devoid of any substance.

  The first attempt at adapting the Phoenix storyline ended in utter disaster and forced Fox to retcon much on its existence 8 years later with Days of Future Past. While the main players are all great and the action is arguably some of the best in the trilogy, X-Men: The Last Stand is too fast and ultimately too rushed to leave any sort of emotional resonance by the time it concludes while also holding some of the most disrespectful, disappointing, and frankly abysmal scenes the franchise has ever seen.

  Swapping out Bryan Singer (a fact that he's stated he…

  Review by matt lynch ★★½

  Ratner really isn't the problem; Singer was never a particularly dynamic shooter to begin with. No, the deal here is that it's patient zero for the current wildly overstuffed superhero movie. I'm actually surprised this doesn't run 150 minutes, given that it squanders two very potent, canonical storylines from the source (the Mutant Cure and Dark Phoenix) by mashing them together, sacrificing empathy for pace, a fatal mistake in a story about mutants being afraid of their own mutanthood.

  It's too bad, because I think the idea of seen-it-all militant Magneto leading an army of angry and dangerously naive young mutants, or of Logan disintegrating and insta-healing as he crawls toward Jean are about as powerful and exciting a couple of images as X-MEN could ever hope to conjure.

  Anyway remember when we thought this was as bad as it could get?
