Sworn to protect the world that both loves and hates them, the X-Men are a group of heroes both blessed and cursed at birth with mutant abilities that set them apart from mankind.
Gathered together by the mutant telepath Professor Charles Xavier in hopes of bridging the gap between mutants and mankind, the X-Men have been trained to use their diverse powers for good. The next chapter in the X-Men franchise finds the mutants still living in a society that mistrusts them. Struggling to find their place among humans, the mutants continue to face challenges.

Review by: da-tigger
Dated: 1st of January, 2007
The animated series was one I watched regularly, and therefore, when the first of the movies came out, it was a must watch. Then, the second movie was added to my collectionÂ- so, of course, XMEN 3 could not get left out. Once again, the Xmen were battling for the chance to be allowed to live their lives as normally as mutants can, though this time round, not all survivedÂ- the death of three of the main characters, and the complete alteration of another was, I-ll admit, quite a bit of an unpleasant shock. Although watched several times over already, The Last Stand is a great action packed movie that is well enjoyed each and every time it finds the DVD player, and my favourite of the three. New characters are introduced, while we are given further background on previous ones, as the rather strong and somewhat explosive debate about whether mutants need the new found Â"cureÂ" or not causes chaos all round.
If you enjoyed the previous two movies, then it-s quite likely you-ll enjoy this one as well. Also, if you-re one for enjoying the special features that often come with DVDs, then getting the special edition 2-disc set is definitely the better way to go, with many very cool features includedÂ- my favourite, by far, being the Â"XMEN ™ up close and personalÂ" where you get to learn about the Xmen-s history and powers, along with seeing interviews done by both the actors behind the characters, and the original comic writers.
