'Caps and comments by Dann:
"X-Men: The Last Stand"
You either like the X-Men series, or you don't. If you don't, you probably won't like this 2006 third of the series, but if you do, then X-Men: The Last Stand should satisfy.
The X-Men, mutant super-hero types who defend the world against evil, also have to fight repression and bigotry from the population because they're mutants. Joined by some new recruits, they face a new evil when a former teammate, Jean Grey, comes back (from the supposed dead in X-Men 2), but possessed with an evil cosmic power of the Dark Phoenix.
On top of this, a drug has been invented which "cures" the mutants by stripping them of all their powers, and the government intends to force the mutants to be cured, whether they want to be or not. This causes a strong reaction from the evil mutant Magneto, a former friend but now sworn enemy of the X-Men, who vows to destroy the government before they can "cure" him.
Pretty cool, with lots of action and excitement. X-Men fans will love it, and non-fans will think it dumb.
