Can achieve better results (tv)

Rating: 4/10 (28 July 2014)

So, i have watched « XMEN: DOFP » the morning in theater and i was lucky to watch this one on TV the evening after.
For me, none of them is better as the two aren't truly « comics adaptation » but rather pale inspirations.
Both used name of characters, certain famous moments of X-men history (especially uncanny #150) and then, they cook their own soup. Here, the Hellfire Club becomes a sort of Specter or fit for for « Austin Powers » and the X-Men get tangled in international crisis. This first class has rather boring teammates (Havok, Banshee, Mystique, "angel Salvadore"?,"Darwin"?, "Riptide"?).
If the sets are however visually stunning, the power of this movie is to have found an incredible young Magnus with Fassbender. As Ridely Scott has noticed in « Prometheus », this actor is just great as he really acts old school!
