Brilliant and confusing

Rating: Null/10 (15 June 2014)

X men first class was a great way to restart the franchise. . My hopes drop down a little bit when i heard Matthews Vaughan left the movie. So I went to watch it with low expectation. Well you all know the story so no point talking about it. To just brief you a little bit about the story. The future is being rule by sentinel, who both have a control of mutant and human. Mutants face an extinction, so the x-men team in the future sends Wolverine back to change the past by stopping a certain assassination from happening. The movie handles the time travelling part well, time travels can be a complex thing to explain to the viewers. But here you can understand it but yet you'll still have a lot of questions in the end because when they change the past then the future in x men 1 2 & 3 changes. There are a bit of unanswered questions in this film which is frustrating and I don't know why filmmakers always choose to ignore them, a five minutes explanation would be better than a scene which include some lame jokes. But apart from a slightly questionable story, the movie was enjoyable. Once again the highlight of the movie is the interaction between the young Erik and Charles. Fassbender and McAviy, both seem so smoothly into their character. Michael Fassbender is fantastic in magneto. His sole purpose of keeping mutants alive and protecting them from the society through extreme measure is so understandable that you have every reason to support him. While James McAvoy as Charles other hand is a revolution. It amazing how much of wisdom along with emotions he manages to show on screen and those moments give you a good idea what the future Xavier is. This movie and the previous one contain all the landmark and understanding of what both Magneto and Xavier grow up to be. You cant hate either of them,because you'll just end up loving both of them. It hard to choose between them. And there interaction between them is fantastic. You can feel the sadness, love, hate and respect they have for each other. And the way these two actor express their emotion together is nothing short but spectacular. But again while this is the best part of the movie, it sadly the bad thing about cause those scene between Erik and Charles are just too short. In First class, they both were together from the start to the end. And had loads of moment where the difference can be seen. Here it's just short. That's why i feel they were wrong to bring up a story like this which involves the previous class. They could have just pick off when first class left. And show how Erik continues his journey to become and Magneto and Charles to Xavier. The interaction between the old Xavier and Magneto and Old Xavier with Charles is another touching moment of superb directing, acting and writing. Mystic sadly is not effective as she was in first class. I loved her in first class especially her relationship with beast, Charles and Erik. But here she seems lost. I blame the writers for her character. They make her on her own. Apart from the story, their are plenty of action scenes, they are good at times and okay at times,nothing ground breaking. The camera work is nicely done here. Music is good and bad at times. I miss the first class music to be honest. Especially the magneto theme they had. All in all it was an enjoyable movie, a bit too strong for children. They might have trouble understanding it.
