Poorly executed

Rating: 1/10 (4 May 2020)

Too much crammed in to 90 minutes. Period.
I collected comics and the X-Men were one of them. The stories were always intuitive and original, bringing forth real life social issues in to a comic often read by kids.
This movie does none of what I used to like in the comics.
The other thing I do not like about these superhero/super mutant movies is that you are looking at the imagination of the director and how they interpreted the comic/stories.
When I was a child, one of the things I enjoyed about comics is that there were always blanks to fill in with your own mind. I used my imagination to create a world that I understood and believed to fit the narrative. These movies take that all away and you subject yourself to the will of the director and writers.
I don't like these movies.
Magneto was originally a good villain but now he's a Mary Sue. Mystique too. I'm not sure about Toad. I mean, what the hell is this BS? Toad was a meaningless side kick and now they make him out like some super villain? I mean seriously. Toad super powers?
The Magneto powers, well, they turned Magneto in to something which is to say the least, moronic. I've seen the fan-boy explanations for his super powers but if you have half a brain cell you can understand how magnetism works, and they got it 100% wrong in X-Men.
The other problems I have is that Wolverine, while a great casting job, is another moronic interpretation of the original Wolverine. His feud with Sabertooth is shown briefly and they bring together the two characters out of sync with the original story. It would be far better to make a movie about Wolverine and Sabertooth so that you can get the reason why Sabertooth doesn't like Wolverine or vice versa.
Storm, well, Storm is Storm. I think that I expected better casting, but that's the way Hollowwood is these days.
The rest of the cast is fairly benign
Overall? The script sucks and so does the directing. The special effects are meh. This movie sets the stage for all other superhero movies. Total suckage.
