X ... crement

Rating: 4/10 (30 June 2014)

I really wanted to like this movie and excitedly anticipated it's release. Saw it in 3-D for $14. Huge disappointment. VERY poor plot, poorly executed. Personally, I've seen enough of Jennifer Lawrence. For my taste, she's over rated and over exposed and I much preferred Rebecca Romijn in the Mystique role. I was disappointed in much the same way as the replacement of Katie Holmes with Maggie Gyllenhaal in the Batman franchise. Ellen Page annoys me. I must have missed something ... how did Dr. X come back from the dead ? Wolverine is starting to show some grey FINALLY ... isn't he a couple hundred years old ? but he looks more ripped than he has in years! I wouldn't recommend not seeing it, but it fell FAR short of my expectations. Big $14. disappointment.
