View Full Version : X-Men: The Last Stand
What did People think? Who actually stayed till end of the credits?
I thought it was fantastic.
I stayed till the end of the credits and lucky I did:D Would have missed perhaps the most important part of the film.
Note- now a spoiler for the movie is in this thread. do not read down if you do want to be spoiled.

Crap what was it?
It was Charles he is still alive :D Remember how he mentioned switching bodies with someone who is dying, it was about half way into the movie
Well thats what he did, he took over the person's bodies that was in the bed on the video he showed his students.

i entered this thread with the specific question in mind about that last bit after the credits cause i didn't know about it until after i saw the movie
i thought the movie was ok, but not as good as the other 2
I quite enjoyed it; still holds its mantle as one of the few decent superhero franchises out there.
That being said, I thought the potential was there for a great film, yet it fell short in that respect. Doesn't by any means make it worthless, but I can't help but be a little disappointed it wasn't what it could have been.
Worth the coin though.

Cyclops really got raped in the movies didn't he? X-men is pretty much over now, as the X-Men anyway. Out of the nine characters I personally associate with "X-Men" three are dead, one has lost her powers (and was never really her namesake from the comics to begin with) and two never appeared in the films. That's six out of nine. :thumbsd:

For an avid X-Men fan it was terrible...the writers should be shot!
Cyclops really got shafted in the end, but i think this more due to James Marsden's commitment to Superman Returns.
Kitty Pride/Shadow Cat was the only real highlight.

cyclopes is a soft character in the x men movies. james marseden aint cyclops. C is supposed to be the leader of the gang, he just isnt.
wasnt as good as the others, i wanna see more characters, but i guess u can only do so much in 1.4 hours. Not enough fighting for my liking :)
interesting to see The Spike (the guy in the forrest throwing spikes/horns at wolverine), quill (a bit weak but looked good with the porcupine thing).
the female villans - psylocke (didnt see much of her), castillo (meh) and the soundwave girl....undecided.
did anyone see toad make an appearance? hope in the next x men angel does more.

Wiping out Mystique is also a crock.

Gambit and ....? :confused:
No Sabretooth, proper Rogue, Cyclops & Gambit=X men lite.
And there should have been more of the Juggernaut smashing things to bits. :D
It didn't make sense that Magneto didn't kill Wolverine or crush the Xmen's plane when he had the chance too. :roll:
Angel was a useless distraction and there so they can have another sequel. :thumbsd:
Wolverine and Magneto dominate for good reasons and the bridge scene and Logan's determination to get to here were great action scenes. :thumbsu:

Dissapointed to see "Cyclops" not having much to do; and having his leadership role usurped by "Woverine" (understandable under the circumstances, "Wolvie" is one of the most popular of the "X-Men"). I thought that Vinnie Jones was great as "Juggernaught" and his fight with Kitty ("Shadowcat") was fun to watch.

It was a crock to have a man mountain taken out because he couldn't even catch the little girl he had cornered. :rolleyes:
Too much poetic licence with the story even though the action and senseless violence is first rate. :D
It was a great scene and special effects when she went nuclear and started vaporising everyone. :cool:

Do you seriously believe anyone would buy Prof X being played by someone other than Patrick Stewert and buy the whole "I switched bodies" explanation in a new movie? Prof X is dead. Totally agree about Mystique but they have enough wiggle room after the scene at the end to bring her back if they really want to.
Gambit and ....? :confused:

I liked it and thought it was the best one, probably because i'm not a complete x-men comic nut. I never really liked cyclops even when i was a kid so didn't mind him being killed off.
Main reason why i liked it was because of the massive war, the first time there has been a full scale war.
Iceman V pyro fight could have been better.

Didn't move it but it shook. Obviously leaves room for a 4th, means the "cure" may just wear off.
I didn't see the bit after the credits, can anyone tell me what happened????

Xavier woke up in the body of that braindead person after transferring his consciousness across. :confused:
Magneto did move that chess piece and as the hot Callisto said he is a class three mutant, so the cure might only be temporary for someone that powerfull.
Convenient. ;)
An incredibly lame line after Iceman knocked out Pyro and they should have done more with that fight. Jubilee wouldn't work on the big screen with her p1ss weak mutation and they need Rogue to come back as the mutant she's supposed to be to make the next sequel work.
Just like Storm in this sequel and if she wants a root she should shag that kid that drains their powers!
You can almost guarantee that the Danger Room scene at the start will be the storyline of the next sequel.

yeah that was weak. i mean pyro had him on the ropes then suddenly iceman grabs his arms and freezes him? i thought if iceman dropped his arms he wouldve been fried.

hahahaha gold! did storm say that ;) shes clearly jealous of iceman and kitty pride. why dont KP and Rouge have it out to see who gets the man? BTW, what happened to the kid that drains powers? i dont recall seeing them escape (althoguh clearly they did).

It would be a better sequel if they have a threesome.

He fully iced up.
It would have been better if he had frozen Pyro's hand so he was defenceless and let him hang for a second before turning him into an iceblock.
"You can write it but you sure as hell can't say it!"
what happened to the kid that drains powers? i dont recall seeing them escape (althoguh clearly they did).
He got out because he was shown leaving with KP who is 19 but only five foot tall.
- Magneto moved the chess piece
- Jubilee was never (at least, from what I've heard) considered for a major part. Was always between Beast, Angel, and Gambit. Josh Holloway, of 'Lost' fame, was offered the role, but declined. Gambit shafted by writers eventually.
- Halle Berry, for all her different hair-styles, cannot pull off Storm.
- Brett Ratner did little to defy his critics

everytime i hear magento speak i picture an old man in a white gown, tall hat and a staff. :)
Quill (the asian guy) isnt asian in the comics apparently

Went and caught this tonight..
My god they crammed a whole lot into the movie, probably a little too much. Needed a concentrated theme, rather than 2 major plots (Jean and the cure) that didn't really interwind. Jean sure did make her way through the cast though didn't she? Pretty crazy stuff, I guess that's the last X-Men film.
I left without remembering that there was something after the credits, what's the go with that, anyone know?
Also, something that occured to me while watching naked Rebecca Romijn (bless her). If they had the 'cure guns' all ready, why didn't they just shoot the mutants they had in the truck prison?.....

I'm guessing they didn't want to prematurely start a war and unite the mutants against them.
Speaking of which, why the hell were the X-Men fighting Magnetos lot anyway? They never really explained that to my satisfaction.

Good point, seen as how Storm was pretty much on the 'Anti-cure' side anyway...
Also, when Wolverine 'saves' Jeans by doing what he does, why doesn't he just stab her with the cure to see if that would work first?
I'm guessing the cure would have disintegrated to bits, like everything else around it.

yeah but there has always been a romance between the two (even in the comics). either way, wolverine is the centrepiece of the movie, and i think there will be a spin off movie.

Anyone think it was kind of lame that despite moving a massive bridge with easily 100 bad mutants on it, including some pretty powerful ones, that all Kitty had to do with go walking through a few walls to grab the kid? Why wouldn't Magneto either just go in himself or get Juggernaut to smash his way through to the kid without having to move the Golden Gate?
I know I know, then there wouldn't have been the big finale but seriously, crappy 'plan' by Magneto. ;)
The more I think about this movie, the more plot holes I'm picking at. They should have left Jean's resurrection until the end of the movie and concentrated on the mutant cure (they would of course need to come up with a reason why the X-Men were fighting Magneto as gandaal mentioned). It annoys me now that the 2 major storylines didn't really interwind, definately a weak spot.
They could have seriously padded out the fight scenes (Iceman vs Pyro was pretty weak), Colossous did nothing, most of the bad guys did nothing, Mystic got shafted (not as bad as Cyclops!), Rogue was pretty much glanced over after being a main character in the last 2 and Storm was just pointlessly padded out to give Halle Berry a bigger role.
On the brighter side, I thought Beast was done great and the movie was definately entertaining if not as well written as the other 2.

yeah we need to see more of the villans powers, like in the first x men when we saw toad, sabretooth do their thing (ie in grand central station).

Yeah well I have a feeling they will do something about Logan/Rogue if more X-men movie sequels will come through.

They've built up a father/daughter relationship between those two. Any romance would just be wierd to say the least.
