Too much violence!

Rating: 6/10 (13 March 2017)

I feel like an alien writing this, given how overwhelmingly positive nearly every review is (feels like I'm quite the anomaly).... I also never write reviews, have only one other under my belt. However, since my other half felt precisely like I did after seeing this film, and he loves action and the entire Marvel film enterprise, I should voice that we found this movie almost unwatchable. I spent 2/3 of the film hiding behind my partners back (I'm in my early 40s - not a child).
I wonder why so many here think it's OK (and apparently even enjoyable) to be subjected to hours of non-stop intensely gory violence? I don't want to go to the movies and come out feeling close to traumatized by images that have taken days to shake. This film could have been just as powerful (I actually think much more powerful) with substantially less violence. Loading films with endless violence is a lazy way out of having to write a more sophisticated, thoughtful plot. Given the legacy of these two X-Men giants that were killed off, they deserved a bit more craftsmanship with how their stories ended.
