X-Men The Last Stand is Excessive! - Hack The Movies

- We finally made it to the first "LAST" X-Men movie! My cousin Monica joins me to look at Brett Ratner's attempt to close Bryan Singers trilogy and 20th Century Fox's attempt to get a super hero movie in theaters a few months before Superman Returns come out. They went all out for this last installment. We have the mutant cure, the Rouge/Kitty.Iceman love triangle, the Dark Pheonix, and too many new characters! Does that sound Excessive? That's because it is!

It would be a significant and world-changing technology if the danger room operated like the holodeck on ST and this threw me too. If you had this tech, wtf aren't you sharing it with the world? I mean, that could be a reason to be pissed at mutants - they hoard technology just because. Naah, humans. See our toys? It could advance your society and quality of life but fu. (It seems to me on ST they backfilled the holo-hole by saying holodeck critters and objects are made of holomatter. Whatever that is. Geat vid!)

Kelsey Grammer was awesome as Beast.
He made the look and had that commanding voice that made him great for the role.
He's awesome in this! He's great in the marvels too! I'm excited to have him back!
Yea it was good casting and although I still think they've yet to nail the look, Kelsey Grammer is awesome
The mutant that can write notes without a pencil is called Cursive.
1. Should not have killed Professor X. As powerful as Jean was, they could have made Charles go on the battlefield to keep Phoenix out of the X-men's minds, while at the same time she was manipulating everyone else.
2. Scott should have not died. A debate on whether or not they had to kill Jean to stop her should have between argued between Cyclops and Wolverine.
3. Rogue could still leave to get the cure. But at the last minute of the final battle, we see everyone beaten and broken on the battlefield. But as Wolverine/Cyclops/Storm are the only ones left standing, we see an obscure figure coming up to each fallen X-man and touching them on the face/hands/skin. Wolverine then starts to head up the mound of debris towards Jean as she goes crazy. She all of a sudden telekinetically blows him back into Cyclops and Storm. It looks likes there is now way to get to her. Then Cyclops and Storm all of a sudden convulse and fall to the ground to reveal Rogue behind them. Wolverine is confused and elated at the same time. Rogue has absorbed the powers of the entire team, her skin is metallic, she has wings, her eyes are glowing with red light, her breath can be seen, lighting flashes behind her in the distance. She touches Wolverine on the face and says "I'll take it from here, Bub." As a supercharged mutant she can phase through everything Jean thrown at her, heals what she misses, blast Jean with Cyclops optic beams and throws lighting and build ice walls while trying to reach her. The music builds and she just barely reaches Jean when and says "I got ya Sugah!" Touches her on the head, effectively sucking up all her powers. As Rogue struggles with all of the power inside her, she unleashes all the energy in her body shooting it into the night sky. She falls to the ground, Wolverine runs up to her as Cyclops runs to Jean. They both pick up each Woman's body in their arms as their eyes open awake. Magneto still looses his powers and Professor X wheels up to him on the ground. "I told you. I will always be there for you, old friend." The movie wraps up, they get new uniforms.
4. We get a stinger at the end of the credits showing Trask walk into a room, he stand at a computer terminal. He hits "ENTER" on a keyboard, as hundreds of robotic eye light up behind him. "you want something done right," He looks up at the active Sentinels, "you've got to do it yourselves."

RIP Crystal
Did she catch the virus..smh poor girl
@@JjJetplanThe AIDS
@@JjJetplan She drowned. Tony wouldn't save her.
We miss you 😢
Honestly, what happened to her?
Are they going to name the lake after Crystal in her memory and if so, how quickly can Jason Voorhees move into the area? 🤔
Sounds like this has the same problem as Spider-man 3: trying to fit ten pounds of stuff into a five pound bag.
Will you review the Ben Affleck daredevil?
Vinnie Jones isn't Australian Tony and that's definitely not an ozzie accent he's putting on lol. London accent, up Watford way, North west London. He was a footy player (soccer player) for leeds, Wimbledon, Chelsea and couple others, before his first role in Guy Richie's "Lock stock and two smoking barrels". Good review as always mate, yes we say mate too in the UK, arguably more so than our Ozzie brethren lol.
as a fellow British man hearing someone call vinnie jones Australian hurts my soul ha
I think Americans can't tell the difference between Aussie and British accents.
@@MrJAG as an American, the difference in accents use to leave me guessing the origin. But, after watching a documentary about Australia It became much easier for me to distinguish the difference between the two. On our side of the pond, most people would still have a difficult time deciphering the differences, but there is no disrespect meant at all. Speaking for myself, I consider England and Australia to be part of our family, so to speak. And to be frank, I would quite honestly have an English or Aussie accent over our boring and bland American accent. Much love and respect from America!
@@MrJAG Not our fault that when it comes to things that are extremely annoying, they all do tend to seem the same.
X men 3 Really split down the middle
Some love it some hate it
Kelsey Grammer as Beast was PERFECT
I'd easily put this up against anything we've had from Marvel in the last few years
The only acceptable sequel is Kieran's animated version.
hoping he’s doing good and comes back one day
I can rewatch Last Stand purely for Stewart's & McKellan's performances.
Yeah, the Danger Room in the comics was basically the Holodeck, with force-field assisted holograms. It was constructed using Shi'ar technology, courtesy of Empress Lilandra, I would think.
Kid drawing in X1 in montage was supposed to be their quick version or nod to Colossus as Singer said on the commentary. Apparently Moonstar is next to Jubilee in X1 in a few scenes too, and even in X2 as well. The one with the native American jacket. They wanted to do Gambit as a kid blowing a basketball up in X1. But they didn't think people would understand the reference. And apparently they even shot a scene for X2 where Gambit is one of the mutants affected by Cerebro. It was supposedly Hugh's stunt double, but it's never seen the light of day
Bryan Singer offered to complete the trilogy after Superman Returns but Fox pulled the plug on his deal with the studio in retaliation for him choosing Superman over the X-Men.
Also, Wolverine lit his cigar with the danger room fire
Pyro out here looking like Heat Miser 😆
X-Men 1 & 2, Spider-Man 1 & 2, and BLADE 1 & 2, are all some of the best superhero movies ever made, and all three end their trilogies with very disappointing third entries. Kinda like Iron Man, Ant-Man, original Superman, original Batman, and The Dark Knight trilogy (except Tony’s part in The Dark Knight Rises, that was good).
Wow. Never thought of it like that. I kinda like blade 3 though not really. Ironman 2 also wasn’t that good. Or any of the ant man really.
Very underrated and overhated, I get the problems but still enjoy Last Stand.
😬
I agree with you that it is underrated and overhated, but I didn't enjoy it. It was very disappointing, but overall it is just OK.
Totally agree, unpopular opinion but it’s better then X2
Now thats wild lol@@spudlyson
@@valgallardo9632 lmao oh I’m crazy
First half hr or so is good but it blunders @that point tripping over its own plot elements struggling with them
I hate that they killed off Scott. Halle Berry still has nothing. Rogue is completely pointless.
X-Men The Last Stand had some great moments like the fight on alcatraz, Magneto floating the Golden Gate bridge, Kelsey Grammer as Beast and Halle Berry putting in a decent performance as Storm.
Halle is the worst part as storm, god awful
I remember my mom buying for me when it came out on DVD we watched the whole trilogy when each one came out and then one night we ordered a pizza 🍕🍕 and made a night of it watching all three movies
Sweet memory.
Monica is great. Looking forward to seeing her again.
Cable is the son of Scott and a clone of jean
Jasus, I thought Kelsey Grammer played a different cameo. Must be my age.
The doctor kill by omega kid is a character in the astonishing x men comic she created the muntant cure and i still got that book
Going through the movies I haven't ever seen that you have reviewed
Tonight's The Mighty Ducks
And it is a classic
Never got around to it as a kid but my goodness this is phenomenal not necessarily something I'll rewatch but it's a great story and a fun ride
Honestly your reviews opened my mind up to say I never really watched the Classics cause I was one of the weird horror kids too but seems like I missed out on alot of gems with horror tunnel vision
Thank you famous Tony from hack the movies for enlightening my movie journey 🙏
Also suggestion what is the Worst Happy Madison Production
Ooh that's a great idea! I second this!
I third this!
Ok now I want Ant shitting guy and water runner in Deadpool and wolverine!🤣 And that is the same hallow deck from star Trek cause there was a cross over in the comics that Charles met Picard, that's how they can space travel and have Lazer weapons. In the X-Men 90s cartoon the Star Trek emblem was on the spacesuits, I believe it was the dark phenox episode. Also Cable is Jean and Scott's son from an alternate future or time line. I believe Cable has some telekinesis and telepathic abilities or see into the future.🤷♂️
Cable is Scott and Madelyne Pryor's son from an alternate future. Madelyne was a clone of Jean though.
I watched last stand in theaters 3 times when it was released... Loved this movie....still do
I threw my remaining popcorn at the projector because of how disappointed I was in the theater.
Yes! I regret doing that to the movie theater staff. But I still don’t like this movie.
I had a pitch for a sequel to this that would make this movie a little better. Essentially it would start off with the ending of X2. We would see a man who is all white in a purple coat take Jean's body. Anyways long story short, Sinister took and cloned Jean after X2. The Jean in X3 was the clone. Scott wasn't killed in this film but captured and that is why we don't see the body. This would be a movie with very little Wolverine but instead deal with younger X-Men finding out about Sinister after the Nasty Boys attack the Morlocks (mini mutant massacre reference). Have Storm be the leader. Angel would get his wings hurt at this time. Making Archangel be part of next film. Movie ends with Scott and Jean being rescued and Jean being pregnant due to artificial means via Sinister. The film would maybe have a mid-credit or end credit scene that has Apocalypse hinted to be the next big bad.
It might not have been the Dark Phoenix story I wanted, but I enjoyed it.
The Tick was awesome and I'm mad as well, Tony. Things were just getting really good!
X-Men 3 has the greatest X-Men film story in the shortest time. If X-Men 3 was over 3 hours long, it would have been a masterpiece.
Lol come on.. The word "masterpiece" gets thrown around way too loosely.
@@johnkallday so does the word 'would'
@@HughezyEntertainment Still wouldnt even be close
Tony you gotta do what's the best/worst xmen movie with this and the later movies all in 1 video. Kieran would be great for an episode like that.
Kieran quit the internet so unlikely, also I'd rather he covered the X-Men movies separately then in 1 go
@@strifenineteen does anyone know why he quit? He was like my favorite personality on all this stuff.
@Toastedtonberry don't know the exact specifics, but I believe he had a meltdown and quit
Wolverine was inside the Sentinel head
Tony, imitating James Marsden: "I promise I'm a good guy!"
Yep this was certainly recorded before the Quiet On Set docuseries came out..
28:58 Laughlin city not Carson city
.......wait you have a VHS copy of The Love Witch? Thats awesome!
X-Men 3 is a very solid sequel, and substantially better than the original (2 is not only the best of the trilogy -- but arguably the best superhero film of all time).
Great setpieces (showdown at Jean's childhood home, Juggernaut's rescue, Wolverine vs Marrow, Golden Gate sequence, and the frickin' Danger Room), spectacular acting (Famke kills it as someone struggling with mental issues and/or cosmic psychokinetic powers), some inspired bits of casting (Kelsey as Beast is perfect), and by far the best score in the franchise.
X-Men: First Class was an absolute disaster compared to 3.
The first X-Men was scored by Michael Kamen, not Don Davis. Kamen actually replaced Ottman who was attached to direct Urban Legends: Final Cut. No way John Powell's score for the Last Stand is the worst in the series. I have a soft spot for Kamen's work, but Powell just did a way better job with the themes. Ottman's score for the second is still the absolute best.
I don't know why I said davis
@@HackTheMovies Don Davis scored The Matrix, and X-Men borrowed a lot from that one aesthetically. Maybe that's why.
There is much going and as such neither the cure storyline of the Phoenix storyline have time to breathe. Both depicted are decent but both suffer because neither is given the time needed.
14:09 06,06,06 was a Tuesday , I saw it at amc 16 in theater #6 at 6:06 pm I ate popcorn and sixlet's.😂
the danger room got upgraded with holograms back in the 1991 jim lee/chris claremont run, using shiar tech.
About the tattoo question. Some mutants later on are marked as one. Bishop has a M tattooed on his face. But that is waaaay into the future when the camps for mutants were made.
No matter what scenario you had in your head NOTHING would be as funny as Ant Shitter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You did everything you could for Crystal. Also deadpool had that dude from mojo world 😂
Still to this day "Do you know who I am, I'm the Juggernaut bitch" is the best line from an X-men movie hands down!!! I still have my X3 Jean, Beast, Juggernaut and Colossus Marvel Legends figures and I have the X3 pops!
Vinnie Jones is English haha
Yeah the Hard Light Holograms are a thing in the Danger Room in later comics the explanation being they got the technology from the Shi’ar Empire, weirdly enough its programming gains sentience later and becomes a mechanical being called Danger and it’s also considered to be a Mutant even though it’s a robot it’s a bit odd
Lmao waterrunner and ant shi**er 😂😂😂
Swear Tony you would say like the hulk is too green lol
Watch my Hulk episode!
For real, pretzel nuggets are fire
The Squid and the Whale is great.
I was so disappointed with this in theaters singer should’ve made X3 and not a boring Superman movie
More Monica please!! 😍😍👍👍
This movie needed 20 more minutes. Tried to tell to much in a short length.
Shitting on John Powell’s score for this movie is a sin. SMH Tony haha Funny thing is that John Ottman is the worst composer of the all of the X-Men films, but his X-Men theme is a classic. Also, Michael Kamen scored the first X-Men.
48:02 tony calling magnetos barcode tattoo a concentration camp logo
17:23 Niiiiiice Nia Jax sneaky reference there. Tony.
?
@@HackTheMovies “My Hole!”
@@unclegumbald989 hahaha oh right!
Water Runner, Channel Change Boy, Scribe & Lizard Tongue are gonna fuck shit up.
42:30 Yeah Storm's line there pisses me off.
Poor Crystal. Another couch related swimming death.
magneto i'm the master of metals!
a bunch of re-enactors with english longbows and obsidian arrows come in
I feel if leach was taken to the X mansion by the end. Rouge would have the kid around her all the time since then she could kiss bobby id feel bad for that kid will see 🤣
Magneto's Cure cover band has WAY too many members.
It may be excessive, but I still find it the most entertaining of the trilogy. Magneto moving the Golden Gate Bridge is still one of the most spectacular sequences committed to film, and Kelsey Grammer makes a perfect Beast. Not a great movie. It does have too much going on and botches the Phoenix arc, but it's still worthwhile and much better than many make it out to be.
X-men 2 and Spider-man 2 are 2 of THE most overrated comic book movies in history. They have too little plot and draaaaaaaaaag.
Cant wait for Tony to watch 97!
Me too! It's awesome! I love it so much! So good!
It’s definitely not my least favorite X-Men movie….but it’s up there.
I still remember the feeling I had when I saw this on its opening weekend and the credits started rolling. I hadn’t been that upset with a movie before. Coming from the high that was X2, this was such a disappointment and I still dislike this movie every time I decide to rewatch it. I typically just watch the first two, First Class, and Days of Future Past.
Tony, we love you. But the numbered inmate tattoos endured by my ancestors are not "concentration camp logos." No hate, just clarifying.
The kids with useless powers tho...🤣🤣🤣
This movie is X-crement. Saw it in the theatre. Huge disappointment. Wrote out rogue and cyclops. Failed at phoenix and juggernaut. Best thing was beast. Beast was perfect.
Beast is the best part of the movie for me! I also kinda like the scene where magneto picks up the golden gate bridge
@@kdusel1991that was cool. Bridge would have fell apart though. But. It’s a movie. Crazy display of magnetos power though.
Your w precautions ruined your experience this is a fun comic like movie and you can’t top x2 so take it for what it is to just enjoy and turn your mind off. This is a fun Mind food comic movie just everyone craps on it for expectations. 😂
Your description is X-cellent.
The casting for these movies is the best thing about them
12:26 what’s up with the blank dvd case behind Tony l?! Did I miss out on some LOOOOOOOORE 😂
What?
X-Men 3: The Last Stand isn’t the worst action wise, but slightly character wise & REALLY script/story wise it kinda falls apart.
They tried to squeeze ALOT into this movie & it backfires big time.
The first two films are great in their own right, but I feel fail to deliver on an action level, but the third one is definitely a popcorn, eye-candy type of film.
You would think the filmmakers & producers would learn from their mistakes with this film for future sequel’s & prequels…. They kinda did…. But at the same time they didn’t.
Anywho, those are my thoughts.
I don’t have Amazon Prime.
Is it bad that the only x-men movie I've ever seen is Wolverine Origins?
Yeah. Wolverine Origins is so bad! They ruined Deadpool! If you're gonna watch any X-Men movies I'd watch the first 3, first class, DOFP, the wolverine, and Logan. And the deadpool movies.
I knooow, but I thought Deadpool's reimagining was creepy and cool, even if it has nothing to do with the actual character XD Also Gambit (part of the reason I never saw the first three)
@@theflail Deadpool is done perfectly in his own movies. And I really hope they bring the Channing Tatum Gambit to Deadpool and Wolverine!
It's not a reflection on you. You didn't do anything wrong and didn't deserve to have XMOW happen to you.
@@emilyanne9090 👍
1:28:05 what’s that sound?!
The fact that the movie forgets that Juggernaut has. Or mutant powers but leech sum how seems to suppress his “mutant powers” when nugget runs at them and gets knocked out is embarrassingly idiotic and inaccurate …his power isn’t mutant genes or anything, its magical and comes from red crystal of cytorak. So jug shoulda ran right thru them w no problem let alone no getting ko thanks to leech power to suppress their mutant genes 🧬 lol
Crystal would hunt Tony for rest of his life
Money Plane
A Casino In the Sky
Truly that would be such a funny movie to force 3 of your cohorts to watch
It's hard but what is better the original top gun or top gun maverick
I don't think this movie is that bad. It has dumb decisions but it also gave us Kelsey Grammer as Beast who is just perfect casting. I was very excited to see him show up in the marvels. Also yay for Monica! I missed her! Fun fact I also have a second cousin on my dad's side named Monica!
I've learned that there is comics, and there is comic book movies. I think that's why alot of movies based on comics dissapointed me.
This was a really funny review.
There hasn't been a bad rendition of The Tick and we can only get a couple of seasons tops. wtf
Yes there was. That Fox sitcom was god awful
Omfg Tony & Monica yes!.....yes!....now go see Astonishing, ok see you in 2 months. 🥳
POOR CRYSTAL
This movie is fun and deffintly a good comic book movie but not great ending of this awesome original x-men trilogy but u can’t top X2 so just turn your brain. Off and enjoy the mind food this movie gives ya. Dont take so seriously and sit back and it’s fun and short runtime. Expectations ruin this movie for most who stand by their opinion
I've seen The Squid and the Whale cuz my ex is into artsy movies. It's ok
Sinister shoulda just been an appetizer that leads to apocalypse
I agree but new mutants screwed that up.
"X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)" has always been my favorite of all the Fox X-Men movies. I watched it every time it came on TV back then. Still after seeing First Class, DoFP and Logan (the latter one is somewhat boring) my opinion has not changed one bit! I'm always excited to watch it (of course after the previous two, why let them out?). What I hate is the fact that this movie DOES NOT get the "credit" with its "post credit scene" that people STILL attribute to the first Iron Man when reality proofed them wrong the whole time! And there is NO objective reason why the PROPER post credit scene in X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) shouldn't count as the FIRST within the Marvel Renaissance! Adding the early De-aging and turning people into dust at the climax this movie was well ahead when you think properly about it
Good episode as always Tony...but...Vinnie Jones accent is North London not Australian. :D
They sound the same to me!
@HackTheMovies Apparently so do Don Davis and Michael Kamen.
@briancarlson3008 why the hell did I say Don Davis?!
It’s time to hack the movies
Member when Patrick Stewart lost interest in this franchise?
The last stand was only bad because they tried to end game it with magneto as a rehash villain and they unnecessarily killed off people. Scheduling conflicts or not it’s dumb.
It had a few interesting moments, but it was too busy.
Xmen Last Stand wasn't a bad movie, but it was a bad Xmen movie if that makes sense.
Regarding Jean: She may not have have taken Scott’s last name, but she did take his life. It’s actually a pretty common thing in marriages.
Vinny Jones Australian?? Haha
