being brief, entertaining but lackluster

Rating: 5/10 (30 July 2014)

First let me say that I didn't read any of the comics or watch any of the X-Men related shows. However I did see almost all the Marvel-related comic book movies, including everything X-Men. It seems this movie just falls short. I did somewhat enjoy this one but "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" was executed better. The story doesn't seem to evolve in the X-Men universe, at least not very much. I won't give anything away. I was expecting something different, although I was somewhat entertained. I look forward to the addition to the X-Men universe and hopefully better and more relatable stories in those movies.
