Meh

Rating: 5/10 (9 October 2015)

I'm disappointed. As a non-fan of the "X-Men" series, I actually really liked "X-Men: First Class (2011)", but this movie is quite a mess. It's not terrible, but it's not very good either and not nearly as good as the previous one.
The best thing about this movie is, without doubt, QuickSilver: Great use of the character, nice visuals and the actor (which I'm not familiar with) is just excellent and fits the role perfectly. I enjoyed pretty much every scene with him.
James McAvoy totally reminded me of Rik Mayall.
The whole past/future plot was a big disappointment. I expected something a lot more interesting and sophisticated. It seemed like a pretty lousy excuse to mix both generations of characters.
