Rating: 9 out of 10, A
great action flick, up to Marvel’s usual standard in the way of special
effects, but you can also tell that a supremely talented director was back at
the helm as well as the story is so ridiculously convoluted in jumping back and
forth between the present, past, and future that to see it flow smoothly
understandable across the screen is a real achievement. My “kids” were crowing that this movie finally
returned sanity to the X-Men universe in terms of loyalty to the source
material. I was blissfully unaware that
this was a serious problem but I’m assured that this is how the X-Men mythology
is supposed to unfold. I'm sure to
sleep more soundly tonight now that this cosmic crime has been deus ex
machina-ed back in line. While I loved
the science fiction aspects, my wife “marveled” at the fully exposed gluteal
muscles of the Wolverine displayed in all their glory. She muttered something about crossing an item
off a bucket list. Hugh Jackman’s butt
has been a serious topic of discussion ever since she saw him on Broadway a few
years ago.
MVP: Good to see Patrick Stewart as Professor Charles
Xavier re-assembled and back as the soul of the X-Men
