I wanted to like this - I really did! But...

Rating: 6/10 (7 March 2017)

I had heard the reviews of this one: excellent, poignant, best Wolverine movie, etc. What I watched did not live up to the hype.
The magic of the X Men wasn't there. Neither was the humour. Instead, I watched a sad and plodding movie with 1 dimensional characters. It all seemed so flat.
Patrick Stewart was just annoying. He rambled on too much. There was very little background info on the mutant caretaker character. Jackman was pretty good. The guy can deliver every single time, no matter what the movie. But I must admit, what really didn't sit well with me was I was all the cussing and the graphic violence. I was surprised by it. The X Men movies never resorted to that. It just seemed like it was too much.
Very disappointed in it. I wish that I would have trusted my 'inner critic' and waited for it to come on HBO. I wasted over $30 at the theatre.
