Was it really that X-cellent?

Rating: 6/10 (31 May 2014)

It was nice to see some of the older caste back, you get a warm fuzzy feeling at the end. Time travel stories can be a bit convoluted but this was largely(not entirely) coherent. New mutants introduced to non comics readers were cool and 3d was quite decent. Acting was well done. Is it X-ceptional? Definitely not. The movie made very little sense to me having seen all of the previous movies. There were a lot of things that should not be happening with respect to continuity. There were times I felt script writers completely squandered the potential. Maybe it was set in alternate verse, but that is more DC than Marvel. Many questions that popped in mind that were not answered at all. Wolverine getting back his adamantium claw? Xavier alive and well in same body? Xavier and magneto came to wolverine in the past for help in the airport? How was that done when apart from wolverine, no one else can travel back more than a few weeks? The ability to transfer consciousness back in time, how does that work is never explained fully. How does raven/mystique know where to look for Wolverine at the end? Will wolverine no longer have adamantium bones and claws? Questions aside, slightly above average movie that gives a sense of nostalgia making you look beyond its shortcomings.
