Why watch this? I personally enjoyed this third X-Men effort as much as the first two.

Plot Summary: A "cure" for the mutant gene is discovered, prompting a division within the mutant community. This development forces mutants to choose between retaining their abilities or potentially becoming human, leading to increased tensions between humans and mutants. Professor Charles Xavier's X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood find themselves on opposing sides, with the fate of both mutants and humanity hanging in the balance.

Dad's Preview: The final film of the original X-Men trilogy focuses on the battle between Magneto's mutant army and humans, who are being secretly helped by the X-Men. Early on, Magneto wins the support of the powerful of Jean Grey, who has been resurrected as Dark Phoenix. At the time it was made, this was the last film, and that might explain why some characters were killed off. The plot, and its many twists, is well-written and memorable. I was personally a pleasure to see Kelsey Grammer as one of my favorite X-Men, Beast... he's perfect for the part.
