"Everything in the world finds peace. Eventually."

Rating: 7/10 (8 April 2020)

This movie pleasantly surprised me. I was expecting yet another meaningless blockbuster which relies on high-budget production, mesmerizing effects and a pace that does not allow you to stop and ask yourself - why am even I watching this? - but got a kind of spin-off movie that is neither directly related to the X-Men franchise, nor is it one of the characters' "origins story", but a completely separate, well-told story, with better characterization, and which doesn't come down to non-stop action, but the action scenes are well-measured and purposeful. It's far from a top-notch movie, but it is a welcome refreshment.
7/10
