Fabulous movie, and not your average X-Man story

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2017)

I go to the cinema frequently and have been intoxicated by the trailer for this movie through the fabulous Johnny Cash song 'Hurt' ..... but as good as this trailer was, it v=certainly didn't convey the fabulous movie that sat behind it. It had been well publicised that this was the final swansong for two of its integral characters, but the sympathetic way that this was handled throughout was unexpected. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of action and macabre killing, but there is a rather touching story-line underpinning I t all ... something that isn't usual in X-Men movies. I have say that Stephen Merchants portrayal of Caliban was a surprise, and it took a short while to get 'The Office' out of my head, but actually it worked. I would recommend any X-Men fan to go and see that, although that's probably a given anyway, but just expect something different ... and enjoy.
