Missable and lacking Merit

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2014)

X- Men This movie should be called Hugh Jackman the movie as he dominates the film. People idolise Wolverine at the expense of others. Basically the film is the live action version of the comic books featuring mutants with superhuman powers. One group led by Charles Xavier starring Patrick Stewart and the other group by Magneto starring Ian Mckellen.
The potential was there to have more mutants, better character development and a stronger plot. Alas they went with a conventional story about Logan an angry person looking to know who he is. My favourite X- Men was in fact a women Storm played by Halle Berry. Her character was well acted and interesting and the nightmare that was Catwomen had not yet been made. Poor choice in having so few characters and focusing on Wolverine.
On the plus side more X-Men give us the chance of having more characters introduced and having better plots. So let us hope new the films are a lot better.
