excellent storytelling, thorough performance, and powerful finish

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2014)

The movie was so good and so memorable. I don't even know where to begin but simply I must commend Brian Singer for his maturity and growth in developing a powerful, cohesive and compelling movie for the ages. I have to say this was the best superhero movie I've seen so far and actually the most memorable movie I've seen in recent years. I want to share so much but don't want to spill spoilers onto this review. It's just really good from start to finish. But that ending was so powerful and engaging. I just love the extreme Brian Singer went to make the audience engage very deeply with the mutants especially in the way they faced an immovable enemy - the sentinels. As an audience, I was so deeply engaged with the mutants that there actually was a sigh of relief when there future was altered for good. It's more than just a good guys vs bad but the hinge of the movie came at realizing the climax of the power of choice and wondering what each individual would do with that choice but especially for the two well-known villains - Mystique and Magneto. Striking movie and a stellar performance from every character. That kitchen scene was just superb. Made the entire theater laugh out loud. Bravo.
