I would give it a B-

Note: I am not a professional film critic. I just want to give my opinions.
Super controversial: I don't think this film is a masterpiece. Is it good? Yeah. Best super hero movie ever? No. I don't even think it is the best X-Men film (although it is the best in the Wolverine trilogy). Now first off, the acting is amazing. Veterans Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart are fantastic, as is newcomer Dafne Keen. But I find my biggest problem with this film is the weird anti-technology stance it has. Now hear me out, I could be reading way to deep into it. But all the bad guys are technologically advanced with robot arms and a bunch of computer monitors and all that, while the good guys live in tree houses and work on farms and all that. The farm family that we meet in the film is trying to be pretty much killed by a big bad corporation and replace it with a giant factory...thing. And this wouldn't be a problem (ok, that isn't true, that thing tends to annoy me) if this wasn't a X-Men movie. X-Men is all about evolution and how it is a good thing. Change doesn't mean evil. So the underlying themes in this movie really go against that. Also, I think the film tends to drag sometimes. But even I can admit that the movie had me incredibly close to crying (my eyes watered, but no tears came out). So clearly it did something right. And I like how the film is basically like, "Yeah we are sick of superhero movies too". That is pretty cool. Overall, it is a competent and well made movie (one I wouldn't even mind seeing again), just not a masterpiece.
Favorite Scene: The ending.
