X-Men: The Last Stand
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen and many more
Directed by: Brett Ratner
Official Movie Site
To take the position of neutrality is to become an adjunct of the stronger force, or so a revolutionary will say in a situation of class war. But the dominant force in a war of aggression will count the timid on the side of its enemy. In battles, lines are clearly drawn between clashing forces. Making a stand makes an impact on the configuration of conflicting sides.
X-Men: The Last Stand tackles conflict dilemma from the point of view of social categories of fiction based on the X-men comics world: In defending mutant identity and existence, whose side will you be on? In this third and last installment of the X-Men franchise, the powers of mutants are summoned to confront a cure for mutancy that emerged from the laboratory of a human billionaire industrialist. The cure disturbs an era of relative peace between mutants and men. But it ignites a fiercer contradiction among mutant subalterns.
Two schools of thought clash - tolerance for the cure, as advocated by the liberal Professor X (Patrick Stewart), or total war against it, as advanced by the radical Magneto (Ian McKellen). The contradiction is worked out in an extreme war between the X-men and the Brotherhood of Mutants.
Outstanding are the fighting sequences a mix of innovative stunts and spectacular special effects that demonstrate the intensity and extent of the ultimate battle. But astounding is the destruction that a war feeding on prejudice brings. It is indeed tragic that an alienated lot, marginalized on account of its distinct identity, will end up violently polarized.
The stars of the first two X-Men films, including Halle Berry (Storm), Famke Janssen (Telepath Jean Grey), Anna Paquin (Rogue), James Marden (Cyclops), and Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) reprise their roles now endowed with higher or diminished emotional quotients, not to mention bolstered special powers. New characters where also pulled off from the comics such as Beast (Kelsey Grammer), Angel (Ben Foster), and Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones).
Hugh Jackmans Wolverine upstages all other characters with its rich texture. Wolverine, a fierce fighter with retractable adamantium claws and beast-like fury, faces the predicament in which conviction is pitted against love amid struggle. He must choose because he cannot have both. And in either case, he will bleed. But can his power heal a wounded spirit as fast as it can a wounded skin?
Brett Ratner at the helm breathed powerful soul to the mutant flesh. X-perience the moving power of X-Men!
Hope this positive review brighten up the supporters day
