X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) ✦ Full-Length Watchalong Reaction
Added 2024-04-28 05:00:03 +0000 UTCHappy weekend everyone! X3 up on deck!
As a heads up, not sure what happened with my recording settings... but this video is pixelated pretty much the entire time and gets worse when I'm moving around. I'm so sorry about this! I have gone in and sorted out my settings for the future. 🙏
Appreciate you taking the time to watch with me, thanks so much! Really looking forward to everyone's thoughts on this movie.

“OH MY STARS AND GARTERS!” Major 👏👏👏to Kelsey Grammar for his wonderful performance in this film. Beast could’ve been a challenging character to “bring to life”, but Kelsey was the perfect casting choice for the version of Beast I knew and loved growing up. Kelsey has the necessary vocal abilities and humble gravitas needed for a lethal, yet passive, genius character like Dr. Hank McCoy. Hearing him quote Churchill while watching him go full on Beast mode in the final battle is pure awesomeness, and it was even better on the big screen. This movie is my “No Way Home” of it’s time. For me No Way Home/The Last Stand were a bit of a mess in the story flow department, usage of the greater MCU/Comic/TAS connections/inspirations, as well as some of the character usage. While I do think No Way Home is a more successful and well constructed mess than The Last Stand, I would still watch The Last Stand over No Way Home any day of the week because, 💡 PERSONAL NOSTALGIA 💡 😆😆😆 This movie finally gave me the feeling I had missed with the first two X movies back when I first saw them. I was finally seeing something I held fond childhood memories of, truly come to life on the big screen, and it was a magical. I saw this movie on my 25th birthday with my husband and brother-in-law. I couldn’t have been more into adulthood at the time, being that I was almost 4 months pregnant with my second child and turning 25 😱😆 However, once we got the first live action appearance of the “Danger Room” complete with Colossus & Wolverine taking down a giant robot with an awesome combo move. I could have just as easily been 11 years old wearing my pjs, sitting in my bedroom with a bowl of cereal on a Saturday morning in perfect superhero bliss. Sometimes just a couple of moments are enough reason to love something and this movie has more than enough moments for me. 💙❌💙

2024-04-30 23:31:53 +0000 UTCWithout going into the where's, whys and hows. Perhaps those with a deeper understanding, and at the appropriate times, will be able to explain how to un-messy how things go from here. This one is alright and the right amount of fun, if a little too surface level over all. This made me chuckle to myself little. The thing is, I knew what you meant. I always find the evolution and usage of language interesting. How often we throw a well used phrase out there without too much pause to the actual words we have brought into common tongue. When you said about moving forward rather than on. We understand that that simple change can denote something figuratively different. But in simple terms sounds like pretty much the same thing. I just found that simultaneously both meaningful and totally irrelevant at the same time, and I had to chuckle to myself. Which ironically, is how I sorta feel about this movie in part. 🤣

2024-04-28 19:46:14 +0000 UTCYeah this is definitely one of the weaker X men films, I think one of the main reasons why this movie suffered so badly was because they changed directors literally right before they started filming, that and many, MANY more problems behind the scenes plagued this film in its production. Really enjoyed this reaction none the less, KL, loving the new setup and slightly different camera angle, looks much more professional in my opinion (:

2024-04-28 18:08:36 +0000 UTCYeah, this one was never among my favorites either, but I find that I’ve softened quite a bit on it in the years since. Like all of the films, even the ones that aren’t the mostest bestest, it has its place in the overall story of The X-Men, especially from an emotional POV. That alone makes it fairly important. Besides, I’m never mad to get more Jean. 😉

2024-04-28 13:23:30 +0000 UTCRewatching this just reminds me how great X-Men ‘97 is (currently airing). However, the last stand isn’t as bad as most people regard it. I love Magnetos comment about Charles to Pyro and Bobby going full iceman. The next two X-Men films (not wolverine solos) are fantastic so I’m looking forward to those reactions as well. And “Pete” aka Colossus, the one who turns into metal, was introduced in X2. He was in the mansion when Stryker attacked and he helped some of the kids into the secret passage.
