Highly Underrated Movie

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2016)

We have so got used to so many fantastic super hero movies, Avengers, X-Men and the many new franchises that our expectations are now unreasonable. I guess that's why this movie gets a relatively average 7.2 rating. The not so dramatic ending did not help too.
But this movie was quite good. Maybe even the top 5 movies of 2016! You may have noticed that its quite long (almost 2 and a half hours), this is because they needed the time to build the background of so many character. The movie is set in the 80's when the professor is in his 30s or 40s, and Jean (the other psychic girl), Cyclops, etc are very young and just starting off (so the cast is different). So many things are new and also nostalgic in a very beautiful way. The choreography for the story was really really good. The villain and the final vanquishing of the villain was not what they were aiming for. You get a really good adventure with a lot of good people. Mystique has a large role in this movie (she goes into the blue mode only rarely, and normally goes around like a normal human). Jennifer Lawrence did a wonderful job here. I never knew she was such a good actress. And its the same for most of the cast. At the end you will be left with a happy feeling in your heart, its that kind of a movie.
The villain is Ra (the Egyptian god from 3500BC). He is very powerful and if you have watched the old Stargate SG1 TV show, it will be quite fun to see him in action. He is an old god with a lot of experience in ruling an entire world, so the way he goes about building his power by encouraging, helping and bringing out the abilities of Magneto, Storm and 2 others, makes this movie quite long.
I can easily recommend this movie to you. Go see it, at the very least you won't feel that you wasted your time.
