Good But Not Great Why ?

Rating: 10/10 (9 December 2014)

So this movie was okay I've seen many times and still enjoyed watching it but my only complaints are was that there wasn't so much scenes from the future I felt that the movie focus way too much in the past and as always not enough character development which has always been a problem for the movies the only characters that fully developed were Xavier and Mystique played by James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence respectively which they both did an amazing job and a step up I might say even though I assume J-Law winning that Oscar was given more time to play the shapeshifting Raven and James really gave all his effort for playing miserable Charles and took the lead as leading man unlike Michael Fassbender who stole the show in First Class. Rogue was cut off which left me disappointed but we'll be ready for the alternate cut of the movie on DVD soon. Quicksilver was a highlight. Bolivar Trask by Peter Dinklage was a missed for me because he wasn't much of a villain like his comic book counterpart not his fault but felt he was mishandled by the script he was given or was poorly miscast but the sentinels were the main villains of the movie although I believe ignorance itself was the main villain in the movie. It bothered me so much that Patrick Stewart and Ian mckellan, Halle berry great actors who all had little roles because of personal issues and or other commitments in other projects I would like to see more of Erik and his magnetic charm and powerful Storm herself have much larger screen time but nope. All the other characters were great but hardly some of them had lines mostly they just look cool and engaged in battle and that's all. But this movie was okay not a masterpiece nor a classic but a good chapter in the x men movie franchise.
