X-Men: the Last Stand (12A)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As an allegory of otherness, the film displays impeccable liberalism in arguing against the idea of a "cure" for mutants: can't we, it asks, just all get along together? McKellen's arch-villain Magneto makes it clear that togetherness, for some people, really isn't an option, and orchestrates his very own Götterdämmerung on the former site of Alcatraz - you won't believe what he's done with the Golden Gate Bridge... Journeyman director Brett Ratner has been saddled with too many characters and not enough action for this finale, but he does at least have the good grace to keep the running time well below two hours.
