Decent For Comic Fans

Rating: 7/10 (6 July 2015)

The X-Men send Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to the past in a desperate effort to change history and prevent an event that results in doom for both humans and mutants.
There is plenty to enjoy about this film, but I think it has one shortcoming: without a knowledge of the comic, a viewer might be a little confused. The sheer number of mutants (and other characters) is a tad overwhelming. Of course, some of this is helped if you saw previous X-Men films (as you should), but it is still quite a large amount.
What is very interesting is how Quicksilver appears here, and is also in the "Avengers". And these two films do not share the same universe. I am a bit unsure how the rights worked out, but somehow they must have found the character to be acceptable in both worlds. Still odd having him in two movies at once.
