The explosive "X-Men" motion picture trilogy officially draws to a close
with this release that finds Rush Hour director Brett Ratner stepping in for
Bryan Singer to tell the tale of a newly discovered mutant "cure," and the
polarizing effect it has on mutant/man relations. With the pressure on mutants
to give up their powers and pledge alliance with the human race reaching a
critical turning point, Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) urges
tolerance and understanding as his nemesis Magneto (Ian McKellen) gathers a
powerful resistance in preparation for the ultimate war against humankind. Hugh
Jackman, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, and James Marsden return to reprise the roles
they played in the previous two X-Men films, with Kelsey Grammer and Vinnie
Jones joining the cast as Beast and Juggernaut respectively. ~ Jason Buchanan,
