Very cleverly executed, THUMBS UP

Rating: 6/10 (12 November 2014)

I was reluctant to watch this film. Because the previous movies frustrated me a lot. But this time I am glad I watched it. Probably because I finally accepted this series will never climb above 8 stars in my book.
The movie stands strongly for itself alone. But when I try to connect all the movies from this series, everything collapses.
It's a superhero movie so I can't criticize the acting. Visual effects were good. Not stunning, I repeat not stunning. There was one particular quicksilver scene that everyone talks about. It was a brilliant scene. But not because of the visual effects. Yes, definitely not because of the visuals but for the cleverness. (Note to DC: your Flash better be better)
The movie have clear plot holes and unscientific stuffs. But I can't blame the movie for them. It's because X-Men is originally a comic books series. But still when someone transform a comic into a movie, it's his responsibility to make it believable. 'Cause motion pictures don't have the liberty to get away with illogical stuffs. They have to be believable. Yet I enjoyed the entire 2 hours of this film.
I liked the cast very much. Finally a X-Men movie with Wolverine, where the focus is not on Wolverine. It was nice to have the old X-Men casts and the new ones in the same film.
Final Verdict: 68%. Very cool movie. Definitely the best X-Men movie. But my negligence for this franchise got increased a bit.
