Is X-Men: The Last Stand the worst X-Men movie in the franchise? Catch all the crew at C2E2 this weekend - www.c2e2.com Support this week's charity - healthright.org/

"There's nothing to cure" says the woman with powers so godly that she was worshipped as a goddess by her own people. Meanwhile discount Rogue over here would kill someone with a high-five.

To be fair, saying a computer generated actor resembles a PS4 character in the year 2006 is quite a compliment.

"Is there a cure?" asked the girl who kills every thing she touches. "You need no cure, you are perfect they way you are" answered the girl who could make clouds

Okay, but Wolverine lighting a cigar off a flaming car was the greatest scene in cinematic history lol

Beast's introduction to this movie was perfect. Just to see him upside down reading was so amazing it reminded so much of the animated series.

Who else agrees that Kellsy Gramer as Beast was one the highlight of the film ? 😁👌

Okay, I don't remember Beast looking so emotional when looking at his hand changing color. Acting 10/5.

Magneto- “They will draw first blood” Proceeds to murder 4 cars worth of people

Did Storm really say "there's nothing wrong with you" to the girl who faces the risk of killing everyone she touches?

"Charles always wanted to build bridges" "Why didn't he." "His plan couldn't stand on it's own two feet."

Tbh I think one of the main reasons why Kelsey Grammer does a good job as beast is cause he realy did want to play the character.

I remember as a kid, my mom walked in on me watching this movie. She saw Beast and immediately knew it was Kelsey Grammer. She thought the movie was a step down from him because it was a comic book movie, but she said, "Even with all that on him, he's incredible." When people who don't even like these kinds of movies love your performance, you know you nailed casting.

Storm:There's nothing wrong with you. Rogue: Everything I touch literally almost dies!!

I always thought the Pheonix activating was because of her dying. You know, because when Pheonixs die they are reborn?

I just realized the kid cutting off his wings is from Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Jean Grey, everyone: Disintegrating people twelve whole years before Thanos.

Storm: there's nothing wrong with you Rogue: I NEARLY STOLE THE LIFE FORCE FROM SOMEONE WHO CAN HEAL FROM ANYTHING JUST BY TOUCHING HIM FOR A MOMENT

"There's nothing wrong with you." Bold thing to say to someone who kills anyone she touches, Miss Godly-Powers.

OK. I think we can all agree that Hugh Jackman/Wolverine & Bruce Campbell/Ash teaming up would be friggin' awesome.

"because everyone thinks the dark phoenix is the only part of the phoenix there was." oof, too true.

Xavier turned into dust before it was cool

You know the Juggernaut meme was played out when even Deadpool 2 didn't use it.

To add to the list of things we wish Magneto would've said in this scene: "I'm going to steal the golden gate bridge and there's nothing you can do about it!" and "Suck it Carmen SanDiego!"

"There's nothing to cure. Nothing is wrong with you, or any of us for that matter." Says the woman who basically won the mutant lottery.

Storm: There's nothing more to cure because there's nothing wrong with us She said to the girl who would kill her boyfriend if he touched her

You know a bit I really remember (and kind of like) about this movie? So at the end of that church scene, when Magneto is approached by the members of that mutant gang, they ask him about a 'mark', clearly a tattoo to show off mutant pride. "Oh, I have a mark, my dear. And I assure you, no needle will ever touch my skin again." And he shows his HOLOCAUST NUMBER. Sort of a reminder that Magneto's been through the exact kind of 'round them up and kill them' thing that he just go through warning the gathering about.

Kelsey Grammer was good as Beast surprisingly. As a kid watching him on Frasier I'd never would have imagine him as a good choice for Beast.

Critic/Doug, Surprised you didn't say anything when Storm (whom is in full control of her power) says to Rogue "There's nothing wrong with you" When we see a scene or two ago with Rogue saying "I can't even touch my boyfriend without killing him"

Too quote the meme. "They can cure us!" Says the girl who can't touch any living being without risking killing it. "No we're perfect and don't need a cure" says the woman who can manipulate the freaking weather.

I’m looking forward for Wolverine origin And the “Deadpool”

"This kid deserves a friggin Oscar for the less than one minute of acting he's given!" *FYI, that is the kid whose DREAM JOURNAL got ruined the previous year*

Kelsey Grammer was the best thing in this movie. Perfect casting!

6:25 Kelsey Grammer did very good job as “The Beast” and well deserve for his own motivation development same as Nicholas Hoult in other “X-Men” back up series. He even came back in cameo in “Days of Future Past.”

I though the most hated X-Men movie was Origins Wolverine

The only reason Logan works is it had more time to build up these relationships with these characters and it made it all the better and sadder to see them all go

I totally agree that this movie had the best moments of the three: sentinels in the danger room, finally showing a comic-accurate beast, Ice Man finally icing up, and doing something with X-men other than the core cast of the previous movies. it was a shame the overall plot was a mess.

The acting in this film was amazing though..especially from Sir Ian. That look when he realizes he’s been injected with the anti mutant serum is unreal.

Beast: (gives Magneto the cure) Golden Gate Bridge: (not where it should be) good work, heroes. now the Bay Area is screwed.

This movie had the action down, but the story telling sucked.

“Because of water.” No. It was heavily implied in X2 that Jean had been “different” since Liberty Island. Probably her use of Cerebro began the breakdown of the psychic barriers. Her powers were “off” during X2. That’s why she could only stop one missile and not both. The closer Phoenix got to the surface, the less control Jean had. Because she was fighting for control. At the end of X2, she gave in to it to save everyone.

"THERE IS NO JEAN. ONLY PHEONIX" What a lovely singing voice you have there.

Fifty Shades Of Jean Grey?!😂👍👏

Fortunately, Days of Future past deleted this time line

"That magnificent metal doesn't run through your entire body, does it?" OMG I DIED!!

I laughed out loud in the theatre at the ending of X-Men 3 because I had literally seen Van Helsing 2 days prior and that was basically the same ending. How many photogenic / romantic gut stabbings does Hugh Jackman actually have in his film career? I dunno, but somebody should check.

HE ACKNOWLEDGED NORM OF THE NORTH TWO!!! NOW HE MUST REVIEW IT!!!

I do gotta say, one of the most consistent strengths of the original X-men trilogy was the chemistry between Charles and Magneto. How they’re fighting for opposite causes but each still respects the other as an adversary and almost as a friend.

1:46 Really Last Stand is hated more than Origins: Wolverine.

Magneto: Don't let anyone inside Juggernaut: Alright come over here so I can throw you inside

Fun fact: The boy who played young Angel, Cayden Boyd, also played Max in "Sharkboy and Lavagirl".

When doug defends a movie, it feels like he was the director

And then “Dark Phoenix” happened 13 years later. At least “Last Stand” is enjoyably bad but I remember liking it well enough when I saw it since I was a 12 year old girl

The thing that always got me about this film is that the weaponized cure is used on Magneto rather than Jean. Surely having something that could cure Jean of the Phoenix, but take away her powers (part of her identity and her life) in the process would have been an interesting moral decision for the X-Men.

Inside-out spine boy who can't walk, and can't talk because he vomits pigeons: ... Storm: There's nothing to cure because there's nothing wrong with you.

"I kinda have a soft spot for it. *cue clip from The Office* *Slaps desk* THANK YOU!

X-Men The Last Stand: Im The Worst X-Men Movie To Be Made Dark Pheniox: Hold My Beer

Douglas are you ok? Douglas what were you on when you made that ad? Douglas you seem to be acting unusual these days. WOW.

I thought Kelsey Grammar was perfect as Beast.

16:14 Jean disintegrates people about a decade before Thanos does.

24:23 what I came for

I was hoping that the Critic would reference Thanos as characters were turning to dust.

Cant wait for that X-Men Origins Wolverine critique!

6:39 This is one of the things I like X-Men The Last Stand. I like the whole debate they tried to have about whether or not it is ethical to cure the Mutants. It reminds me a lot around the debate about Autism. Is Autism a disability that ought to fixed or is is a part of a person's identity that should be accepted. As someone who has Aspergers I really liked how this issue was being addressed. PS. I still have a lot of issues with this movie. For example I hate Brett Ratner for the way he treated Ellen Page on the set of this film.

Wolverine supporting Rogue's decision, and just trying to make sure it's what she wants, was an amazing moment. Logan is awesome 👍

*Sees people turning to dust* *Waits for Infinity War/Thanos joke* Ah there it is!

I like how Storm says there’s nothing wrong with you to a person who can’t touch anyone without killing them while she’s able to literally control the weather

Wolverine: what’s your superpower Little girl: my powers to make other people not have powers

Just saw the film. Here are my notes: I, too, find myself having a bit of a soft spot for the film (not alone NC). The idea of having a "cure" for the mutant gene is very intriguing, and the fact that it brought a divided debate is very realistic. The fact that Magneto's powers came back, I see as because they didn't seem to have tested it on mutants prior, and they said they only "replicated" the DNA of the child (replicates are almost never the exact same as the original, and some liberties may come into play). Rogue taking the cure was justified, as she stated earlier in the film, she wanted to touch people, give a hug, and even kiss without killing someone. The "re-emergance" of the Phoenix seemed to have actually come from Jean herself in X2, as, several times, her eyes were going a reddened gold color, and, right before she was engulfed by the water, the fiery glow came around her, and so, the Phoenix could've taken over at that point, building power over the time that she was gone. Also, on that note, anyone know how long it was (movie timeline) between the two films? A month? Several years? Beast being a "hypocrite" when giving the weaponized cure to Magneto was because they needed him taken care of and neutralized. The fact that Charles came back, no idea, since his death was fine... In that, leaving it in as it was heartbreaking. And, the debate and views were possibly my favorite part of the movie. Which would you choose? Would you "cure" yourself and live a normal human life, or is the mutant gene just another thing that makes you... Well, you? All in all, I do understand why people don't like it, but, you can't deny that it's good moments... Are unbelievably amazing. The debate, the ideas, the graphics, and the action scenes are amazingly well done, but, for an hour and forty minute movie, it was just a bit rushed. More time was needed so that everything could be well developed, so we could care more, and so that everything flowed naturally. Had this movie been two and a half hours or, dare I say it, three hours long, then it probably could've all worked and enough time might've been given to flesh out all of the ideas, fix the plot holes as best they could, and possibly make this movie not so hated. People, everyone is entitled to their own opinion!!! If someone says this movie is good, I'll listen to them and see, as well as understand, why they think so. If someone says this movie is the worst, I'll listen to them and see, as well as understand, why they think so. The internet was made to share our ideas and opinions with open arms, not force our feelings down others throats. Nostalgia Critic, I hadn't seen the X-Men films (at least, not all of them in their entirety) , but I still watched, laughed at, listened, and understood your opinion on the franchise. I don't know what I'll think of the films in the future (watching through them now, only saw 1-3), but, I will have my own opinion, and, possibly, compare my thoughts to yours.

there's actually an alternate ending where Rogue comes back and says "I couldn't do it" and then holds the hand of Bobby with her gloved hand, and I think that was the better ending, the alternate ending was better update: oh, you mentioned the alternate ending

7:40 - Love how Storm thinks she's got a right to comment on this cure and saying that "There's nothing wrong with us." when she's standing next to a girl who LITERALLY KILLS ANYONE SHE TOUCHES FOR TOO LONG! YOU CONTROL THE WEATHER LOVE, IT'S NOT THE SAME. It's a bit like stubbing your toe at a funeral and saying "God, this is the WORST thing that could have happened today!"

"There is no Jean, only Phinoex!" Wolverine: "oh my, what a lovely singing voice you have!"

11:55 Magneto isn't fucking around this time

Sure the movie is bad but the best thing about it was Kelsey Grammer as Beast

Can we just give a quick shout out to Doug for constantly thinking of creative ways to promote these sponsorships? lol

The first part when Magneto and Xavier go to see the young Jean always made me think of Dumbledore visiting the child Voldemort

24:41 Hey look it’s everyone’s reaction to the Micheal Bay Transformers, Disney live-action remakes, Sonic the Hedgehog, Detective Pikachu, Teen Titans Go, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Amazing Spider-Man, Deviant Art fetishes, Fan4stic, Micheal Bay Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Star Wars prequels, The Mummy 2017, Ghostbusters 2016, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, Superman IV Quest for Peace, The Emoji Movie, Norm of the North, Strange Magic, Alvin and the Chipmunks, the unnecessarily long Frozen shorts, Super Mario Bros. Movie, and.....

I need 10 seasons of "jean-luc and gandalf"!

Things I remember X-men 3 doing right: Juggernaut meme Fight on Alcatraz Island Storm's hair (seriously, she never looked more beautiful ❤)

I have that same history of Marvel book! $100 well spent. High five!

5:39 fun fact: Gambit was gonna be in this third movie, he actually was going to be part of this love triangle with Rogue and Ice man, instead of kitty pride, but they change that when they knew they were already plans for him in x men origins

Y'know, if they really wanted to dive into Jean's psyche while she visited her childhood home, they could have done a scene like this (Keep in mind that I'm lifting a lot from the excellent TV show Wolverine and the X-Men): A de-aged Professor X now in a wheelchair and a young Scott Summers meet Jean at her house. At this point she's been having monthly sessions with Prof X to learn to control her powers, but she refuses to leave her parents and go to Charles' new Academy. Jean is visibly older, perhaps 14. Jean is shocked to see Prof X in a wheelchair and asks what happened, and where Erik is. Prof X sighs and says that Erik and he had "disagreements", and that they will no longer working together. The subject is very touchy for him. He perks up though because he introduces Jean to his school's first official student; Scott Summers. Scott and Jean act all awkward, as you'd expect 14 year olds prepubescents with laser eyes and mind control powers to act. Later, Jean and Charles start their session, but something is different this time. Charles is having to constantly tell Jean to dial her powers back, and one thing leads to another and Jean ends up accidentally diving into Prof X's mind. She witnesses his fight with Magneto and, traumatised by the fighting she's watching and the fact that she just unwittingly invaded someone's mind against their will- Something she's been trying to avoid through her sessions- Jean's telekinetic powers start acting up. Objects fly everywhere. Jean's parents hide and Prof X is still mind whammied, but Scott manages to calm Jean down by telling her about how Prof X has been teaching him to control his powers, and how the Academy is a beautiful place, and more junk like that that centres Jean and allows her to stop. Afterwards, she calls out her parents for hiding as she was freaking out, and storms off to her room. The scene ends with Prof X telling Jean's guilty and terrified parents that it's time for Jean to attend the Academy, and that he'll have to put a mental block on her powers. I like this idea because it continues the scene that the movie opened with, establishes more of a reason for Scott and Jean to be a couple, sets up why Jean would return to her childhood home by making her resent her parents' neglect of her powers, and lastly this scene would show how Jean's Phoenix powers began to surface without the use of exposition. In my opinion, the Pheonix was an aggressive manifestation of Jean resenting how scared her parents were of her powers. Heck, Jean's relationship with her parents could even help prove that many mutants and their families need a cure. Anyways, you read this whole thing, then props to you 😂

Ya mentioned it, now you have to review Norm of the North 2

That kid who played young Angel performed some of the best acting I’ve ever seen in a movie. He’s better than a lot of adults I’ve seen, especially in this franchise.

15:57 How? His bones are metal remember?

That is NOT Arch-Angel! That is only Angel. Arch-Angel is blue and has adamantium wings. With blade feathers shooting out of them!

hopefully he does go as far as to give credit to the two good things in Origins. 1. the opening scene with the wars of history montage. 2. Liev Schrieber as Sabertooth.

I honestly enjoyed watching the movie, magneto being super badass is a feast to the eye... But, while after the two first movies ended, I left the cinema wanting to read more x-men comics, this one didn't make me feel like that, it didn't manage to make me want more of the characters and the universe, which is why I find it to be so bellow the previous ones.

4:38 I remember how there was sooooo much hype for Angel joining the X-Men, and then it turned out HE WAS BARELY IN IT, DID NEXT TO NOTHING, AND HE DIDN'T EVEN JOIN THE TEAM IN THE END. But like the Critic says, the fight scenes are fun and the movie does ask the difficult questions about the ethics of a mutant willingly removing their powers. If nothing else, we were all clueless to the fact that the X-Men movies could definitely get worse from here.

STARES!!! My 2 issues are 1) the Phoenix line is complete horseshit 2) these tertiary bad guy mutants are so throwaway and forgettable they may as well be star wars droids. There just to kill

10:40- Dorothy: I thought she would melt. Flying Monkey: Do you know how impossible it would be to keep clean, avoid moisture, floods rain, liquids for sustaining your thirst, and being 70% water. From what you’re saying- she’d be dead years ago. Dorothy: Then why hasn’t she gone off all powerful god before. Flying Monkey: very limited amounts....via needles and living in the driest area in Oz. Dorothy: that sounds very difficult. Flying Monkey: you really have no idea.

"This better make more sense when you're Sansa Stark." Whoops it didn't.

The one thing I always disagreed with....don't make Rogue the poster child for why you shouldn't have your powers taken away. She literally kills anyone she touches. She's the one person who probably should have her powers taken away. Her life would be miserable. It's not like Storm who can control the weather, Rogue freaking kills anyone she touches and cannot have any sort of human contact ever

In regards to that intro, it's all about execution. Same/similar points yes, but Last Stand had a series to close; Logan was...kind of its own thing, (yes a universe of lore but it wasn't part of a close/tight trilogy per se). And it's obvious whoever was in charge of Logan had more competence than the trilogy directors all things considered. (Plus with Logan, Jackman and Stewart had been playing their characters for YEARS so they had experience and new how to play them, aged. Also, *begins the music* Guilty pleasures, Everybody has a few Guilty pleasures, You and me, and even you.

Me at the start of the video: Really? People hated this? I remember liking this movie the most out of the entire initial trilogy. Me at the end of the video: Well I mean... yeah. And of course, Me in the middle of the video: Wow... Stamps...

Douglas 1 "Douglas, I like pointing over that way for some reason." Douglas 2 "Woooaow!~"

Fun fact: After Bryan Singer rejected this film to do Superman Returns, Mathew Vaughn, who directed Kick-Ass and X-men First Class, was signed on to direct this film. And he actually went through the process a little bit, as he was the one responsible for the casting of Beast and Juggernaut, and also wrote an early rough version of the script.However, something happened where I think Vaughn lost interest or was directing another film, and he departed the movie. After that, the studio quickly grabbed Brett Ratner to do the rest of the film. So for the people saying that Ratner did one good thing in the film with the casting of Beast, it wasn't even him that did that. It also proves to me that DC, Marvel, and other comic book companies should really give Vaughn more chances. It's obvious that he's a huge comic book fan and knows how to represent comic book characters. I got pissed when I read that DC rejected his vision of superman, it sounded really cool with a trilogy with each one focused on a different part of Clark's life, with Charlie Cox from Daredevil as Vaughn's choice for Superman. Instead they rejected him and we got Man of Steel, which was alright at best.

Halle Berry an her wig should have their own saga. Ok, scratch that: I need Jean Luc & Gandalf to be real.

Nobody: Channel Awesome: STAMPS

I think Tamara's Dorothy impression is one of the best things I've ever seen on this show!
