A highly anticipated but disappointing adaptation

Rating: 4/10 (9 March 2017)

Looking forward to a "back to the roots" movie after the disaster that "The Wolverine" was, the emotional curve watching this latest installment of the franchise went from anticipation to shock to utter boredom.
A story-line as simplistic as could be is tried to be made more interesting by a lot of gory elements - decapitations, severed limbs and exploding body parts to name just a few. This is NOT a movie to watch with your kid or teenager. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart and a great Dafne Keen do their best to keep the viewers interested but in the end can't hide the shortcomings in editing and storytelling of this movie. As much as I love the X-man series, this is not the send-off I would have wished Hugh Jackman to get. He can do and deserved so much more. Spare yourself the time (close to 3 hrs) and money for a cinema visit and rather wait for a streaming if you have to watch it.
