Bemused by negativity

Rating: 10/10 (23 May 2016)

Went to see the film with an older relative and a younger one. We all left the cinema buzzing about how great the film was. The last film we saw was Cap America Civil War and we all loved it but this was so much better in every way. The acting performances of Fassbender, Mcavoy et al were top notch, the action sequences were wonderful and then there was Quicksilver. Yes, Psylocke didn't say much (she's a henchwoman - they don't tend to speak, that is their role in life); yes there are a few back stories (still interesting though); and the plot moved forward with due pace. I was certainly not bored at any point. In fact it was so good I ate 9 of my fingernails (only 1 for Civil War). Please do not be put off by the negative reviews - my mum remembers almost being put off going to see Star Wars back in the 70s because of the negative reviews and was so glad she ignored them. Take heed - if you enjoy action/Superhero films and do not go to the cinema to see this you will regret it.
