An absolutely brilliant film

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2014)

Not only the best film in the series but one of the best films that I've seen all year. The acting, direction (Bryan Singer is the safest pair of hands imaginable for the series), special effects and script were all brilliant. It is the perfect sequel for both the original trilogy and "First Class". I love time travel films - four of my Top 10 films fall into that category - and this is one of the cleverest in many a year. To that end, I loved the intertwining of the past and future towards the end of the film and the wonderful contrasts between Magneto's actions in the two timeframes.
The ending of the film was fantastic and I adored the cameos in its final minutes. The post-credits scene certainly whetted my appetite for the next film! It's a shame that I'll have to wait two years for it. This is now second only to "Superman" as my favourite superhero film. It's everything that I ever wanted from an "X-Men" film and more.
