I know it's nowhere near as good as X1 or 2 or First Class or Logan, but I like it way better than Origins and The Wolverine and Apocalypse, and objectively, yeah DoFP is probably a better movie, but I find Last Stand to much more rewatchable and enjoyable. Their biggest mistake was trying to run two main X-Men runs into one story; Dark Phoenix and the Cure. Given the initial tone of the film series so far at the time, they should have stuck with the Cure storyline and saved Dark Phoenix for a future film. But Last Stand had balls to kill off Prof. X, which before it got undermined by DoFP, worked well emotionally. Didn't feel like it was for shock purposes. The moment where Logan opens the door and sees Xavier right before he explodes hits all the notes emotionally, same with Magneto's shock as well. My problem with the new films is that they're becoming the Jennifer Lawrence films. They took the mystique out of Mystique, which really irritates me, and I really hope Dark Phoenix doesn't become another Jennifer Lawrence film. Professor X didn’t die in X3. And JLaw screentime in the X-Men has been too small to be consider a main character and she only spend two weeks of filming on DP.
