X-Men Re-introduced

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2016)

Two years ago I saw X-Men Days of Future Past and it was then that I fell in love with the cast of the "new team" if you will. The new cast. To put into words how I felt about the movie I waited two years researching everyday about when the new one would come out and how they would portray the infamous villain Apocalypse. After two years I saw the film and was amazed at how terrific it was. I chose to give this film a ten for a few reasons. The way the actors and actresses that were new to the scene playing younger versions of Jean Grey, Scott Summers, and even Nightcrawler himself felt like I was watching a true comic book on screen. I felt a little disappointed in the way that they held back on Apocalypse. It was like they didn't let him show his full potential and powers like in the comics, but Oscar Isaac did a fantastic job at how they wanted him to. So I chose to watch this film as one of it being about showing the X-Men how they should've been and what went wrong after X3. Like most people have said, Quicksilver steals the show again. And I hope that fans will speak up enough for him to feature in his own movie. Deadpool is a perfect example. It never would've happened without fans speaking up. Quicksilver's character is one that would really build on the X-Men franchise and would show us a side of the films that we've never seen before. McAvoy's Professor X is once again a fantastic portrayal after Sir Pat Stewart's X. A certain cameo from another classic X-Men character I felt was cut short too soon. But it did help us get over the not so great 4th installment in the X-Men franchise from back in 2009. To finish this up and hopefully bring some light to some of these negative reviews, this film is wonderful. A classic X-Men film with a fitting amount of screen time for almost every character. Quicksilver's scenes bring heart to this movie and if we speak loud enough, maybe, just maybe will they hear our cry for a Quicksilver standalone film that will explore his relationship with a certain character. The film is a turning point in the series and is a perfect way to continue the team of mutant students known as the X-Men.
