Good, but...

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2016)

Just watched the movie. Somewhat disappointed with the result. It seems that in recent years I no longer recognize my X-men ... Several elements do not keep the road; the accents of the characters, the order of the events, etc. It is disappointing from a nostalgic point of view. On the other hand, the story is good if we forget everything we know and all we liked from the first wave of movies. There are good moves in this one, not just negative. That's why I give such a high rating. I like movies of that kind so I'm a little sold out in advance! It was very well done on behalf of the whole team of wonderful actors. As usual the game of McAvoy is a bit overplayed, his facial expressions have always bothered me but he remains a very good actor, devoted and precise ... but a bit intense. I loved Sophie Turner. Since I discovered her in Game of Thrones, I don't want to miss anything she does. She is great in this role as well as in all those she has to play before.
There seems to be a new fashion: the lengths that no longer end ... or almost. This is the case in several action films this year (Superman vs. Batman for instance). In a time where everything is going too fast and the scenes are more and more computerized and where there is almost nothing real, these moments appear superfluous and unnecessary. Some movies are worthy of it and make the process magical and inevitable while for this one I thought that a few million dollars could have been spared by shrinking some scenes. And few minutes of my precious time!
But, that was a great entertaining movie and worth being seen.
