it was good bro

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2014)

This movie was tizzy.
One reason I might have liked this movie was because I saw it with my father. It was interesting. After watching this X-Men flick I skipped into the showing of How To Train Your Dragon 2. I enjoyed the second film for a bit then halfway or so through I laughed and felt a bit uncomfortable doing so (maybe it was a laugh or another emotive, like a squeal, or both in series). I didn't exactly feel comfortable laughing or squealing by myself. I really thought of the people's reactions to this around me and had an accompanying sense of discomfort. It was interesting because it showed me how when we are watching a movie with someone there is still this element of being there with them that is important for our enjoyment of the movie, which is applicably knowledge.
I liked how they just went to town with new mutant powers. Instead of keeping the film restricted to a couple powers they got creative and had dozens of new abilities, as things should be.
The actors were pretty solid, especially the guy who played the leader in Star Trek. Somehow his words slip out so elegantly. The guy who played the younger Xavier was good in some ways but has this sort of arrogant quality, or potentially an arrogant quality, which is not great for an actor to have.
I really liked some of the lines in the movie. This was a big deal. I liked how Wolverine said to the young Xavier that his best would be good enough because, you know, sometimes that is true. I also really really like how the old Xavier told the young Xavier to open up to suffering and that if he hoped, the suffering wouldn't overwhelm him.
The idea played out in the movie about nonviolence versus violence was really good too.
