Why, oh why??

Rating: 3/10 (6 June 2011)

So, another X-MEN movie, thought I. Why not, loved all the ones before, so I won't make mistake paying a ticket to see it.
Since I did a mistake after all, let's share it:
First thing - the movie is long, tooooo long! This wouldn't be a problem if the movie was something worth watching. This leads us to the second thing (or better make it thingS)...
Visually poor, looking cheap (Banshee's little dress with "wings" anyone?!, Magneto's helmet at the end of the movie?!), boring, lame acting, childish, naive, soundtrack sucks, lacks smart and witty humour, lack of idea, McAvoy as Xavier -NO, the list goes on. In short - not something one would expect from an X-MEN movie.
At the other hand Michael Fassbender has made a great role, Kevin Bacon is cool as he always is, Rose Byrne is cute and did a good job as CIA agent, Zoe Kravitz had a first role in major movie and it is a good thing for her career. Well, that is all...
At the end, maybe I was subjective a bit, since I expected much more from the director of one of my favourite movies - Stardust!
