A truly wonderful film...but...

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2017)

I give this a 9/10...because its just too awesome not to.
First the good: Hugh couldn't be any more gritty and engaging than he was in this film. The film itself was GORGEOUS...just a beautiful display of sheer movie magic. (I warned of spoilers no?) The little she-wolverine is freaking rabid! A REAL wolverine! She couldn't possibly be more ferocious than she is in this movie 100 cheers for her efforts! And whats not to love (and simultaneously hate) about Xavier in this film? As always the classiest and profoundest portray of Prof. X that could be given...as always. But to see him come to his end...is just WRONG ON ALL LEVELS!
The bad: Why on god's green earth did these kids not attack from the get go? They could totally whoop that entire little army...and do so with terrifying success! I don't know why they didn't even give that a go....some of those kids were teens...surely they would have given it a go!?!
Now for the politically bad: Getting a little tired of the progressive need to wipe out straight white males from the "future" as seen in so many films and comics these days. The new mutants contain NO WHITE MALES...
..and the little Latina girl was seriously phenomenal; but there's a definite problem when Hollywood keeps dumping on straight white males wherever they can...
The OVERT racist bottom line of the movie; the old-class white male mutants are done (Prof X and Logan; as the rest of the mutants have died)...now it's time to move on to a "new breed"....which, invariably progresses WITHOUT straight white males. The bad guys? Oh they are white males! What about the good regular farmer family that helps Logan and Prof X? A Black farmer and his family...but that Black Farmer had some mean enemies...guess who? White males. Yup, the entire movie is poised at killing off white males.
This is not new. They've changed many of the straight white males in comics to other races, other genders and other gender-identifications... Whoever these puppet-masters are behind the comics and movies in general...are definitely TRYING HARD to erase the straight white males from entertainment. pretty racist and sleazy if you ask me.
