It's okay, but ordinary, not clever.

Rating: 5/10 (6 August 2017)

Bleak, with occasional entertaining moments and action.
Not as good as previous X-Men movies. Writing is simpler. Very early it becomes obvious where the story is going.
The little girl is good, and does provide some needed unique action. She's a copy in some ways of Hitgirl from Kick-Ass, similar age and similar level of violence.
Fight scenes were mostly about "killing anonymous bad guys" with various styles of stabbing blades through different entry points. Much like a video game, bad guys never learn that approaching a mutant with only a gun is not the best strategy, but they keep coming.
No doubt there's entertainment here, and a keen fan base will lap it up. Many will be happy enough with what's on offer.
In the end, it's just a movie, so who cares. It's a solid 5 or 6 out of 10.
