: X-Men: The Last Stand
I hated the second film, and this one’s worse. Everyone dies in this one. As usual, the basic concept’s amazing — they just don’t do anything with it. In this case the plot’s about a “cure” for mutanism, which is a radically powerful idea: Do mutants want to be cured? Are they sick or special? Is this “cure” really the ultimate anti-mutant weapon? There are a few great scenes — my favorite is when Magneto dismisses Mystique as “no longer one of us” once she’s cured — but overall this overdone production is nothing but elaborate set pieces disjointed together and it completely misses on the human element it so desperately tries to figure out.
