Weak film, the only actors who showed any form of character were the baddies

Rating: 4/10 (12 June 2011)

The new heroes are weak. It seems they just made up powers at random and shoehorned them in just to not look like they took them from any other comic. None of them get any decent character building, and the ones that do come out as total a-holes. Only half-decent characters are the ones masterfully played by both bad guys (Magneto and the villain of the film). Mystique at times tried to put something into her role but the terribly clichéd writing made her feel just as unreal and one-dimensional as the others. Even as a pop-corn film it just irritated the s**t out of me, and the plot-holes and shoehorned humans are bad 'mkay ending just ruined it all for me. I was glad it was over. Too long, too clichéd, too one-dimensional. They tried nothing new, they didn't even try to make the characters memorable, and only two actors actually brought something to the screen. The special effects were good though. 4 out of 10.
