How did you guys like X Men last stand?

How did you like the events that took place in it?

I thought it was a little sad.

I thought it was just plain awful. The first two provide good entertainment, but the change in director and terrible plot twists in this one scar it.

Here's a blurb from my blog's review of it:
X-Men 3: The last time I’ll stand to sit through a X-Men film.
Well technically it is called “The Last Stand”, but let’s not be pedantic. Another action movie, and even more problems than MI:3. The director of the first two left to create the upcoming “Superman Returns”, and it shows. The script and acting are, for lack of more elaborate explanation, messy and dull.

The plot was: The mutants of the world are being recognized as equal citizens and living peacefully, but a company has put out a new medicine that “cures” the problems of being a mutant. Jean Gray comes back into the picture as more powerful with her new alter-ego Phoenix, and Magneto (Ian McKellan) has gathered more “soldiers” to his cause to fight humans and Professor X (Patrick Stewart).

The cast was stellar, how could that acting be bad? It felt rushed, and the dialogue was painful. The charming characters of the first two feel lost in the mix of this super-fast plot. The main problem was the film’s pacing, however, since it felt as though the movie stuck its hands in too many pots. The film jumped around and threw away characters like Rosanne Barr’s unmentionables. Main characters died, others lost their mutant powers, and Kelsey Grammer didn’t add any flair to the film.

On top of all of that, the film ended with a very open-ended conclusion despite being titled The LAST Stand.

X-Men 3 certainly had it's share of flaws (though not as many ANY of the Star Wars prequels). The dialogue was lacking this time around, and the plot had some major holes (what ever happened to that mutant that could cure other mutants? what about Angel? where's Nightcrawler? etc). As a fan of the comics, I was initially really pissed about the handling of Phoenix, but then I re-read Ultimate X-Men Vol. 2 and realized that they had taken this this reimagined" version from the comic and WERE faithful to it.

The scene with Magneto and Xavier confronting Jean, the final unleashing of the Phoenix towards the end, Mytique's escape and Magneto's eventual rejection of her, the moral ambiguity over Xavier's mind control on his subjects, the whole cure for mutation concept being a parallel for gay America, and Grammar as Beast were all high points for me. Was it a flawed film? Yes. But it was no where near the disaster it could have been. And for a comic fan like myself, it delivered enough "cool" moments to off balance the bad. It has more re-watch value too because the first film is the origin story and one can only watch that so many times, and the 2nd is superior but long enough to only re-watch once in a great while.

If X-Men 1 and 2 were formal films, I'd say X-3 was the casual Friday version. It unbuckled it's pants and let it all hang out, which wasn't always pretty but had a kind of honesty about it. And that change of pace suited me well enough.

Was it a flawed film? Yes. But it was no where near the disaster it could have been.
It was a disaster.

Well I for one enjoyed it, but probably only because of my fanatical worship of the comics when I was younger.

You could definately tell that Singer wasn't directing this. A let down, yes, but not as bad as Evakian says. At least not in my opinion.

Kelsey grammar couldn't have been more perfect as the beast. You know Evakian the more I try to defend it the less I'm able to. I'll concede that I probably have given too much credit for nostalgia sake. Although I do agree, it's better than most of the Star Wars pre-quals.
