Oh Dear!

Rating: 4/10 (1 January 2017)

X-Men has been a massive money spinner for Marvel, so I guess its no surprise that they keep churning stories out like sausages. This movie is no better and not really any worse than any of the others; had it been released first then I am sure I would be giving it a much more flattering review. There is nothing in this movie to add depth of understanding of any of the characters. In fact there were no new ideas whatsoever. I can't blame the producers for sticking to a formula that works, but I feel a little ripped off by repeated themes and story construction. This lazy effort has killed it for me. If the writers don't try to find new material and new direction and develop characters and perhaps throw in a few really gritty stomach churning twists then they are unlikely to get me to watch, much less buy the next one.
