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.
