X-Men: The Last Stand follows the mutant community as a so-called cure for the X-gene sparks a moral and political crisis. At the same time, Jean Grey returns with terrifying power as the Phoenix, forcing the X-Men to face one of their own. Based on Marvel’s X-Men comics, the film combines the cure storyline with a loose take on the Dark Phoenix saga.
The Last Stand is one of the most frustrating X-Men films because there are genuinely strong ideas buried inside it. The mutant cure concept is excellent, and the Phoenix storyline should have been huge, but the film rushes through both. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen still bring weight, and Kelsey Grammer is perfect as Beast. It is messy, uneven and controversial, but still important in the franchise’s history.
