Restores the X-Men series to what it was

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2017)

Having Bryan Singer back in charge clearly makes all the difference in the world. This man was born to make X-Men films. The first two X-Men movies were excellent, also done by Bryan Singer. X-Men: the last stand was an OK movie with some very bad logic flaws but the two wolverine films prior this were terrible in my opinion. The first thing this movie does right is it appears to disregard these completely. Because of X- Men: the last stand, Bryan Singer had his work cut out for him to undo all the logic flaws and I must say I was a bit skeptical after the epic fail of superman returns, but you can clearly see that Singer has done his homework and created a magical film with a lot of heart in the story and characters.
Without giving too much away, I will say that every scene is breathtaking. The story is a well-constructed piece of emotion and heart.
What really makes this film work is the complexity of the characters, especially Charles Xavier (professor X, both older and younger), Raven, and Magneto. What all these characters have in common is they are all tortured souls. As for Logan, well, Hugh Jackman is always fantastic, but the real star of the show is McAvoy, Fassbender, Lawrence. All of their characters help you to feel something for them.
This movie presents a time travel paradox, if you cannot look past that or are a viewer that prefers mainly non fiction, or cannot take sci fi leaps of faith, ignore this review. We'll both be better off.
See this film. It is probably the best superhero movie of the last decade. The only ones that are of the same caliber of superhero movies are Christopher Nolan's Batman movies. In some ways this film is even better. Rating: 10
