Singer's Vision Is A Cut Above The Rest

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2014)

Make no mistake...THIS is a Bryan Singer X-Men movie. It has heart, suspense, and a further reaching purpose which sets it apart from much of Marvel's arsenal of films.
The cast is truly electrifying and they fill their characters to the brim without overflowing. It was amazing to see Lawrence as Mystique who is much more developed in this than in any other X-Men movie. Aside Mystique are the groundbreaking performances of McAvoy and Fassbender who once again continue their charming yin and yang roles as Xavier and Magneto. And let us not forget Jackman as Wolverine. He arguably slipped up with The Wolverine but make no mistake: he is back to his cigar puffing self!
As a fan of the franchise it is nice to most of the original cast, even if they do only slip onto the screen for a minute or two. The writers really do an excellent job in maintaining order in a script which calls for two separate time lines and they perfectly executed balancing out enough of the past and present events to keep the suspense going and the punches flying.
A breathtaking movie which reaches a broader audience than most might think. If you appreciate cinema and if you loved the first X-Men then GO SEE THIS FILM!
