I love superhero movies. However, very rarely do I say that they are good movies.That being said, this was a great movie.
There are many great things going for this movie. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender were absolutely brilliant. I was stunned at the level of acting I saw from these two considering this very rare in superhero movies. I border on saying Fassbender's performance is Oscar-worthy.I haven't seen a performance this good since Colin Firth in the King's Speech. McAvoy also gave a very impressive performance.
As with most comic book movies today there were liberties taken from the comic book but I excused it as it was pulled off fairly well. The plot was much more driven and on course as opposed to the previous installment which was all over the place.
Jennifer Lawrence as Raven/Mystique was much better than the previous actress and she added life to the character. There really wasn't a bad acting performance seen as in the other movies.
The visual effects were incredible. Seeing Magneto pull the submarine out of the water was breathtaking and didn't look fake like many other movies.
I would say go see even if you're not a X-men fan as I was quite impressed.
