But nothing more.
The biggest weakness of the film is that there is no clear theme. Although the film company may continue to invest in the X-men series due to the film’s hot global box office, this film is the last part of the trilogy, and we have reason to expect it to make a summary of this series: X-men The meaning of existence? Where are they going in the future? Their disagreement and union with humans? The affiliation between them and the power? The rights and restrictions of the minority groups they represent? Judging from its title, the screenwriter and director should have such a plan. The Last Stand? Unfortunately, after the end of the film, we still don't know what the message it will bring out. This is another good example of form harming content. Gorgeous special effects and matching plots occupy a lot of time in the film, making all the in-depth discussion an embellishment that has to be passed by.
And another flaw comes from the setting of the cartoon itself: all these alienated people have physical excellences, they can fly, jump, transform, and take things out of the air, but their genes don’t endow them with an IQ that surpasses ordinary people. Emotional intelligence. The irony is that the groups of these alienated people, no matter which one they are, show a tendency of marginalization, disorganization, and no long-term strategy. In particular, Brotherhood under Ian's leadership is more like a triad group composed of street gangsters. It seems that in the subconscious, Americans always think that wisdom is a greater danger and a greater evil. This is the same in works of the same nature as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Hulk, etc.
A shortcoming from this is the simplification of the plot. Neither involves high IQ crimes, nor does it provide any high IQ solutions. The idea is simple and crude, which can be described as vulgar educational materials.
However, if you haven't watched it yet, I still recommend buying a ticket to go to a cinema with better sound. What's the harm in letting noise and visual effects occupy your brain for two hours without using your brain?
