disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (3 September 2018)

I don't really understand why people seem to like it so much. I really enjoyed First Class - I thought that the plot was original and entertaining and I wish the director hasn't changed. This movie seemed cramped with emotions, complicated timelines and characters. Actually I'm not a big fan of time travel as a plot device, I think that if you use it you have to really weigh it and do it smartly and here it felt like they had to invent loads of new stuff that was absent from other movies just to make it work. I would have preferred it they just continued exploring the rivalry between young Charles and Erik and didn't invent this huge apocalyptic story.
