Pretty good, a lot of fun

Rating: 5/10 (29 May 2016)

When I saw the negative reviews for this film, I was quite worried. But, as it turns out, this was quite a good film.
The acting in this film is rather mixed. It ranged from very great, like James McAvoy as Charles, and Michael Fassbender as Erik, to just good, like Oscar Isaac as Apocalypse, and Tye Sheridan as Scott Summers, to just plain awful, like Ben Hardy as Angel, and Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique. Most of the characters were well developed, and like all the other X- Men films, the scenes with Magneto were the best, and most emotional in the film. Some characters however, got the short end of the stick, particularly Jubilee and Psylocke, who had barely any screen time to speak of.
The action was something I was quite worried about, but luckily, it far exceeded my expectations. My favourite action centric scene was a scene where Magneto's powers are amplified and he is able to control any metal across the globe, resulting in mass destruction worldwide. The climax of the film was also quite good, despite some occasional ropey CGI.
The music was rather generic but pretty entertaining to listen to. The film was also full of "whoa, awesome!" moments, which I though both Captain America: Civil War and Deadpool were both lacking in.
Overall, if you haven't seen this film, I would highly recommend it.
P.S. Wolverine is awesome!
