The Best X-Men Movie Yet!

Rating: 10/10 (21 May 2014)

The new X-Men movie sent me skyrocketing into the sky!
I have been an avid fan of the X-Men the Animated Series since it was shown every Friday evening when I was still 9-years old and honestly I've found the previous X-Men films (with the exception of X-Men: First Class and The Wolverine) quite mediocre compared to the stories in the cartoons. I was also kind of disappointed in some of the movies as well, such as X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now, thanks again to Bryan Singer (Director of X-Men and X-2), the franchise rose to new heights and he finally saved the day in the mutant world.
The plot was superbly and (almost) flawlessly done. The time travel element of the movie stayed quite faithful to its canon. It straightened out certain things in the previous installments of the franchise which was really impressive. It also perfectly tied the prequel and the original series together, creating a full force ensemble. I was really blown away of how the story was told.
The acting was magnificent. Jennifer Lawrence's popularity put Mystique more in the limelight which seems appropriate because her character is pivotal in the film's plot. She did a fantastic job of portraying her role, as always. Hugh Jackman again proved worthy of his character since the first film. James McAvoy did more justice this time of being the younger Professor X. The acting ensemble really was pretty remarkable.
Lastly, the movie redeemed itself from its third film. The special effects were great and the pacing is just right. It sports out random humors which will make the audience chuckle. Also, its explosive ending was just perfect, absolutely perfect. I wouldn't say any spoilers but the ending is really worth seeing, so much refreshing, actually. So those who haven't seen it yet, go see the film. I promise you wouldn't regret it.
Overall, the movie was a fun ride from beginning to end. I can't wait to see X-Men: Rise of the Apocalypse in 2016. I'd rate this movie 5 out of 5 stars. #feelingmoviecritic
