Carrying the mutant torch with pride

Rating: 5/10 (25 June 2016)

After the events of DoFP, I'd been really excited to see how the studios would take the X-Men time-lines. I really enjoyed this movie, and am impressed with where the current story line seems to be heading.
The usual angst that comes with these movies appears to center more around Erik once again (how many unfortunate events will they put him through? Jeez). I really felt for the guy; he's already lost so much, and losing his wife and daughter was the absolute worst to watch. The conflict needed to happen in order to push Erik over the edge, but was it REALLY the only option?
The new cast for young X-Men did a wonderful job with bringing beloved characters back to life. I really loved Sophie Turner as Jean Grey. (And a huge kudos to Oscar Isaac!)
I also enjoyed the reveal of The Phoenix at the end of the movie. I hope they do a better job with that sub-plot unlike the original movies.
