Rating: 7 out of 10, This is the
newest saga of the early days of the X-men and was full of the usual
otherworldly special effects and bloodless minion deaths. There was almost too
much going on but it was a superb ride. Jennifer Lawrence is way too talented
for her limited role and I’m glad she got spend more time out of the blue
makeup. The story has an ageless super mutant from Egyptian times emerging to
threaten the world. I think this is the first miss for Oscar Isaac who wasn’t
his usual remarkable as the super-mutant, maybe due to the weight of the makeup
and costume. We do find out how Professor X loses his hair and Olivia Munn
wears the hell out of a costume (but they should really limit her need to
emote). So a lot of flashes and bangs but this felt a little shallower than
some of the other entries; still highly entertaining.
MVP: Peters as Quicksilver defying
physics as a very fast son of Magneto
