A Really Good X-Men Movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 February 2019)

This was probably my 4th time watching this movie. I am a proper comic book geek and DOFP is one of my favourite storylines. They tweaked it some but still gave a really good rendition of it. The cast are great. Jackman leads the way obviously but the other characters get some really good screen time. I have never really liked McKellan as Magneto. He gives a good enough performance but I always thought he was a bit too old and not masculine enough. Fassbender though is a great piece of casting. He exudes power and menace. The scene where he lifts the stadium is quite breathtaking. All the characters are enjoyable in fact, especially quicksilver whose scenes are perfection. I really can't say enough about this movie. It really helped to reboot the franchise and move it in a new direction. A must watch for any superhero action movie fans.
