It might as well be the best X-Men we've seen up till now.

It looks like the X-Men movies are sort of growing up. The first three were entertaining sci-fi superhero mutant movies with a pretty good story, effects and acting. The previous (First Class, not Wolverine) stepped up a notch to tell the history of Professor X and Magneto. And now that history and the future are mixed in the latest sequel in the X-Men universe.
As this mostly is set in the past, we do not see a lot of the future X-men from the first three movies. Except for Wolverine, who is the one that travels back to visit the MacAvoy version of Professor X and the Fassbender version of Magneto. Both MacAvoy and Fassbender are very well cast as we could already see in First Class. Their acting skills give a lot of depth to the characters and while problems need to be solved they never let us down giving a little bit more than would be sufficient in the scene. The same counts for Jennifer Lawrence, who might as well become the Meryl Streep of her generation, as Mystique.
Peter Dinklage as Dr. Trask is very well cast as well. But it's not sure what happens with his character at the end. But knowing there will be another X-men in 2016 (Apocalypse) I guess we will see him return as I think he is not done yet with his war against mutants. And I guess he might find another way to still develop the sentinels.
If you like X-men, you're gonna love this movie. It might as well be the best X-Men we've seen up till now. I am already in full anticipation for the next installment
