X-men: The Last Stand (2006)

I was actually kind of disappointed in this movie.  Not sure if I ever really liked any of the movies in this series.  Still this one has its moments. In the series there has always been the implied analogy between mutants and sexual minorities.  Mutants coming ‘out’.  People not accepting and turning away from mutants, including their own parents.  People proclaiming a cure for mutants ‘disease’. 

I’ve always liked Ian McKellan in practically any movie.  He’s great here again as the villian Magneto.
