X-Men: The Last Stand

Director: Brett Ratner

Cast: Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Famke Janssen, Anna Paquin, Kelsey Grammer

A last outing for the mutants who defend us all from evil … without much respect.

This time they face not only more dark deeds from the baddies but a personal dilemma when a cure for what ails them is discovered … do they use it and risk their work and the future course of history.

The series, enhanced by a quite brilliant cast, has always been one of quality and the stories told with a strong eye on character development and, above all, plenty of thrilling action.

And in this final confrontation we get exactly what we expect: lots of special F/X and a rollicking, entertaining ride.

Star Rating: 4/5
