Surprisingly horrible

Rating: 2/10 (31 March 2012)

I went to see this movie and was bored all the way through it, but couldn't figure out why. Now that this movie is on cable, I now know; I literally laugh out loud at the cheesy writing.
The writing in this movie is so cliché and horrible that it makes it hard to enjoy. Mystique is whiny and annoying, and Erik is your typical angsty fellow looking for revenge. Nothing about this movie was too exciting, except for some of the action scenes.
And let's not forget the loads of homo-erotic subtext. Even before, "Oh Erik, thank you for sharing that beautiful memory with me," I thought Charles and Erik were going to start making out at any minute. Their faces are literally 4 inches away from each other when they talk and all their dialog sounds like they're flirting with each other. "Bromance" is an understatement.
I was surprised to find out this movie was written by the same guys who wrote "Thor," because I really enjoyed that movie. The only redeeming quality about this movie is the fact that most of the actors and gorgeous. But in all seriousness, I think Michael Fassbender did "Shame" to make up for the faggotry of this movie.
