San Francisco Chronicle (Mick LaSalle)
Movieman's Guide to the Movies (Brian Oliver)
"They will force their cure upon us. There is only one question you must answer: Who will you stand with?" It was only three years ago that X2: X-Men United stormed movie complexes and wowed even the non-X fans such as myself. The imagination was ...read the complete X-Men: The Last Stand movie review at Movieman's Guide to the Movies (Brian Oliver)
Lobo Howls (Judith Wolfe)
The discovery of a vaccine to 'cure' the mutants is at the heart of this comic book style third in the X-Men series complete with kapows, wallops, special effects and super power action. I liked the first two movies and was not at all disappointed by ...read the complete X-Men: The Last Stand movie review at Lobo Howls (Judith Wolfe)
Joe Critic.com (Sam Bear)
To someone who doesn't see themselves as ill, offer of a cure usually comes as quite insulting. In the world of X-Men: The Last Stand (X-Men 3), it is exactly this, the offer of a cure to mutancy that sends mutant vs. mutant, mutant vs. man, and man vs. ...read the complete X-Men: The Last Stand movie review at Joe Critic.com (Sam Bear)

Qwipster's Movie Reviews (Vince Leo)
This is the third installment of the X-Men series, continuing the storylines developed since the first X-Men and the show-stopping finale which culminated in the death of Jean Grey (Janssen,Hide and Seek)in X2.

The Reel McCoy (Patrick McCoy)
The X-Men are back. Well, that is, most of them are back. Noticably absent is Nightcrawler who played such a prominent role in X-2. I was very disappointed in this for Nightcrawler was one of my favorite characters, but I was happy to finally see Beast ...read the complete X-Men: The Last Stand movie review at The Reel McCoy (Patrick McCoy)
ChildCare Action Project: MOVIE ANALYSES FOR PARENTS

Originalen var med til at åbne sluserne for tegneseriefilmatiseringer; efterfølgeren satte helt nye standarder inden for genren.

The happiest news about the third (and final?) "X-Men" movie is actually quite sad: headstones. Yes, "The Last Stand" brings the lamentable deaths of several major characters.

Window to the Movies (Jeffrey Chen)

The Movie Insider (Ben Samara)
In the first two X-Men films, Singer drove home these timeless themes. The "Mutant Registration Act" at the core of the original touches on communism and the Red Scare in the 1950s.
