Plot: As the third installment of the X-Men series opens, the world has entered a relatively peaceful period for mutants. There's a mutant-tolerant president of the United States, a blue furry mutant named Beast (Kelsey Grammer) heading up the Department of Mutant Affairs, and Magneto's shape-shifting femme fatale, Mystique, has been captured. The tranquility is shattered by two events. Worthington Laboratories, using a powerful mutant boy, develops a serum that eliminates the "mutant X gene" permanently. This so-called "cure" quickly divides the mutant community; Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and his school are willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt, but Magneto (Ian McKellen) and his mutant Brotherhood see the serum as a vile threat to their way of life. They form an army of mutants and march on the fortified Worthington Laboratory located on Alcatraz Island. A much more dire threat appears in the form of the resurrected super-mutant Jean Grey (Famke Janssen), who has succumbed to her cataclysmic Id identity known as The Phoenix. To face these menaces Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and Storm (Halle Berry) and the younger members of the X-Men must leap into action, but they must do so without the guidance of Professor Xavier--in a showdown with the powers of The

...If this is the send-off for the "first team," it's a successful one, with enough moments of greatness to compensate for the ones that aren't so great.  --James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
...isn't the sequel that we had all been hoping for, but it's not all bad either. If you go in looking for a popcorn flick and little more, you shouldn't be disappointed. 7/10--Scott Chitwood (ComingSoon.net)
There are a few good things to be found in it, but overall it's fairly disappointing. Oh yes, and you need to sit through the entire end credits to see a final 30-second tag. 5/10--Joshua Starnes (ComingSoon.net)
Fans of the first two movies will probably want to see what happens with the characters they've grown to love, but with the exception of a few action-packed effects-laden set pieces, they're likely to be disappointed at this mediocre step back that doesn't live up to the expectations set by the previous movie. 5.5/10--Edward Douglas (ComingSoon.net)
The geek in me has to admit that there's a certain nostalgia to finally seeing the five original X-Men - Beast, Angel, Iceman, Cyclops, and Jean Grey - in the same flick, even if they never share the same scene.  --Sean O'Connell (MovieWeb)
To portray X3 as anything less than disappointing is mincing words. It is a shell of its predecessors, a technical exercise that is utterly devoid of substance. --Julian Roman (MovieWeb)
Alas, nifty is not the word to describe X-MEN: THE LAST STAND. What should have been a springboard for the series is instead a quagmire that not even a mutant of the highest caliber can extricate him- or herself from.  --Andrea Chase (Killer Movie Reviews)
