Jen fans steer clear

Rating: 1/10 (20 August 2012)

The only reason I watched this movie was to see Jennifer Lawrence. I don't read comics and I've never been into comic adaption movies and this ain't gonna change my mind. All I see is big explosions and all I hear is blah blah blah.
I'm selfish so I wish Jennifer Lawrence didn't act in big action blockbusters like this. I know she's just trying to make a quid like the rest of us but this role doesn't do her any justice. Any silly hot blond could of played Mystique.
!!!SPOILER!!!
When Shaw and his buddies attack the CIA bunker, Mystique and the rest of them just wait around like stunned mullets until he inevitably finds them. Hello! You have super powers, did you ever think of fighting back? Shaw makes some hideous speech to convert them to other side and when only the fairy girl joins, he leaves the rest of them behind (to fight him later of course) oh except for making the adapter dude spontaneously combust without the effects of the explosion (like death) affecting the others. See how dumb this all sounds? Well its like this for 2 hours and a bit.
Mystique is kept in the background most of the time and her character is regularly seen making stupid comments and stupid decisions. If you are a fan of J-Law, don't watch this movie because it will be like watching your partner sleep with the next door neighbor that you hate. Alas I forgive you Jen, but please choose your scripts wisely in the future now that you are rich.
