Customer Reviews of X-Men - The Last Stand (The Stan Lee Collector's Edition)

Fun film, but Halle Berry's poor performance keeps it from being perfect
I am a big X-men fan. This movie does not have great character depth (something fans of the comics were not too happy about.) Having read several hundred issues of X-men, I consider myself well versed. I still really enjoyed the movie. It was a fun movie to watch and that was all I really cared about. <
> <
>That said, I think it is too bad that Halle Berry was ever cast as Storm. She has managed to get worse as the series has progressed. She threw one of her classic little tantrums for X3 and more or less FORCED them to increase her role in the third movie or she would otherwise quit. Very sadly they did, and the film suffered. The rest of the cast was very good. Jackman plays a great "wolverine" as always. Many new characters were introduced and they were all well cast and played. <

>Basically the lack of character development was a bit of a let down, but in no way ruins the movie. Sadly it is Berry that kept this from a five star film, her performance was even worse than in the second film, and she was in enough scenes this time around that it became apparent just how bad she was. Watch the film "Catwoman" if you would like to see just how aweful she can be, it is a hilarious film without intending to be. <

>It is still a very fun movie, and atleast on DVD you can fast forward through Halle's "acting"

4 Stars for the movie--1 star for this DVD edition
I couldn't figure out why this so called "Collector's Edition" only had one disc. Special editions usually have two discs, right? Was it a typo? No. <
> <
>The ONLY difference between this edition and the regular edition (that is $8 cheaper!) is that there will be a reprinted comic and a special "collectible" comic included. So collectible that it will be included in the hundreds of thousands of these DVDs produced. No extra features, no additional content beyong what is in the regular DVD. The studio is obviously saving all that for another special edition to be released in 6 months (like X-Men 1.5). <
> <
>Unless you're a huge fan of comics, get the regular release and save the money for Superman Returns on November 28th.

Non-comic book readers seem to enjoy
As with (almost) all movies that are not solely movies (such as movies made from books/comics), die-hard fans will rarely enjoy what Hollywood puts into these things. From the perspective of a X-men movie fan who has not read the comics and would occasionally watch the cartoons about a decade ago, I thought it was a great movie. <
> <
>The movie had more pace than the first two. There were a lot of surprises or things you would not otherwise expect in a movie (which some may not like, but I thought made the plot more interesting). There were some points where I was like "What? Did that actually just happen? I must have missed something." Nope, they were very bold with this plot. So if you expect one specific plot in this movie, let go of that and see it or maybe skip this one. <
> <
>Anyways, it sounds like people are either hot or cold to the movie. I enjoyed it enough that I would say the risk of seeing it (and not liking it) is worth it. If you don't like it, forget about it and just watch the first couple again and again. But if you are like me and aren't tied to any specific plot or storyline, you will want to watch this over and over again. This is my favorite of the three with the second close behind. <

>!Slight spoiler alert! If you are extremely attached to all the characters and are unwilling to see some go (die), then you may not enjoy this movie. Not all of the main characters make it through.
