Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B- Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "Not Xceptional, but still quite entertaining." more... B- Boston Globe Wesley Morris "At a comparatively slender 108 minutes, the movie manages to cram in even more, without producing outrage at the short shrift some characters will get." more... B   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "I liked the action, I liked the absurdity, I liked the incongruous use and misuse of mutant powers..." more... B   Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington "It's not stuporous, and it's not super." more... B- E! Online "...Ratner sticks close to the look and feel of the first two, even while amping up the action with some spectacular set pieces..." more... A- Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "This is interesting stuff. So why does The Last Stand feel driven to dumb itself down, as if embarrassed by its own ideas?" more... B- filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "It's too much material for one movie. Last Stand has as many characters as a deck has cards." more... C   Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen "Super visual effects aside, the trilogy's final chapter is a pale mutation of its predecessors." more... C   New York Post Lou Lumenick "The Last Stand isn't awful, but Ratner lacks Singer's subtlety and ability to cleanly navigate convoluted story lines crammed with super-powered characters." more... B- New York Times Manohla Dargis "...generically serviceable..." more... C   ReelViews James Berardinelli "...the first blockbuster of the 2006 summer season that hasn't caused me to shake my head with disappointment." more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...the third and weakest chapter in the X-Men series..." more... C   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...a cut above the previous two X-Men movies in that it comes up with an arresting premise..." more... C   Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...an eye-filling fantasy extravaganza and a big crowd-pleaser." more... B   USA Today Claudia Puig "...expands on the themes of discrimination and alienation explored in the first two films, and still retains the franchise's signature kick-butt action features." more...
