ROTTEN TOMATOES: New "X-Men 3" Trailer Is Here!

New "X-Men 3" Trailer Is Here!

by RT Staff | March 06, 2006

The world premiere of the new theatrical trailer for "X-Men: The Last Stand" was broadcast last night on FOX, during the 2-hour episode of "24"! For those without a broadband connection, click here for the flipbook.

Since the teaser trailer alone for this third (and likely final) installment of the X-Men movies managed to get geeked fans' panties in a bunch, the complete, official trailer is bound to drive mutant lovers into a veritable frenzy.

Here are some screenshots from the new trailer:

"X-Men 3" is set for release May 26, and as more and more sneak peeks are released, that date can't come soon enough. Click here to see flipbook images from the teaser trailer, and here to view character shots and stills in the photo gallery.

The synopsis for "X-Men: The Last Stand" has thrown the fan world for a loop:

"In X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, the final chapter in the "X-Men" motion picture trilogy, a "cure" for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human. The opposing viewpoints of mutant leaders Charles Xavier, who preaches tolerance, and Magneto, who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate test -- triggering the war to end all wars."

Many fans of the legendary X-Men comic series are upset over Fox's apparent decision to end the film series here, when scores more stories and characters exist in the history of the comic. The filmmakers are rumored to have more individual "X-Men" spinoffs in the works, including projects that would focus on the origin stories of Magneto and Wolverine.

In any case, "X-Men" fans will flock to theaters in droves come May 26 -- and will eat up the new trailer until then. Watch FOX tonight to catch the world premiere of the trailer, or check back at Rotten Tomatoes' "X-Men: The Last Stand" trailer page afterwards to see it again.

For those of you interested, IGN's FilmForce has a nice series of articles here about "X-Men: The Last Stand," including set-visit interviews with stars Halle Berry, Ian McKellen, Hugh Jackman, and director Brett Ratner.

And I have a bad feeling about this....way too many mutants, and a ton of subplots = a gigantic mess

When you view the clip, make sure you do a frame by frame recap to catch some things...including the fact that it appears that Beast shaves his fingers.

And why the eff cant iceman ever turn to ice?

I liked the trailer(even though it was the typical action trailer), but that big fight seen dosen't look so epic as I thought it would be....and yes, too many sub-plots. I'm getting Ratner-itis.

Was I the only one who noticed that it was Rebecca Romijn (with dark hair and no blue makeup) lying on the floor for a brief second?

Regardless, I will reserve judgement til I actually see the movie, rather than whine that the sky is falling after one silly trailer...

That's the attitude. I know this is a trailer and trailers, with their editing, music, scene selection, etc are conceived for hooking the audience and selling the movie, but boy, did it do that to me !

I liked the teaser and this is even better. If anything goes wrong with this project, I think it will be a failure on the script level, because Rattner has validated himself with what I have seen so far in the trailers. He has my bucks for opening day. Everybody else stop whining: yes, Synger is gone, we know that since ages ago and there is nothing to do about that. And despite what you may cry about, get real: you'll be there on opening day as well.

Looked a bit cheesy to me. I'll see it but I'm not expecting a whole lot.

I bet if we didn't know Ratner was directing this movie, everyone would be so hyped for this flick and everyone would be complimenting the trailer.

I thought the trailer kicked ass! But I still worry about the excessive number of mutants that seem to be thrown in and it seems there are going to be a number of subplots as well.

Tons of mutants is what X-Men is about, though.

I mean, it's not like Batman, who works alone against one main villian. X-Men has always been about team v. team; would you complain about a football game having too many players? No, because it's supposed to; it isn't tennis.

Likewise, X-Men isn't Batman, Superman, Spider-man, or whatever. It's the X-MEN.

After viewing the trailer, I thought it was pretty good. Then I read some of the negative comments here and said: 'Whoa! What did I miss?" So I went back, viewed it a second time and still thought it was pretty good. Now I ask those who didn't like it: "What was in it that was so damming because I think you're reading way too much in this trailer." Looks fun to me.

"When you view the clip, make sure you do a frame by frame recap to catch some things...including the fact that it appears that Beast shaves his fingers."

wasn't the whole point supposed to be that the mutant he was reaching out to, was in fact, the "cure". Therefore the child mutant was turning the Beast human.

I thought it was obvious... am I wrong?

I didn't like the trailer much, only because it basically spoiled HUGE points from the movie, as others pointed out. But the ONE thing that I found rather enjoying was the music...

The trailer ain't cheesy and it's certainly very well made in term of hyping most casual viewers.

Only problem is that a lot of hardcore fans went to AICN and various sites,loaded with rumors about how the movie will be a mess(because of who's supposed to die,etc) and how colossus costume suck.That,and the director certainly has two strikes against him already versus the fan base.

Just looking at the trailer,I can see that there will be a lot of money behind the project and a nice staff,but most expect the movie to fail because of the guy directing it.

So,why praise the trailer if you are 100% convince that Ratner stink and that the movie will suffer because of it.
