Good

Rating: 7/10 (29 August 2014)

In some ways the best in the series; in some ways the worst. When a cure is found to treat mutations, lines are drawn amongst the X-Men, led by Professor Charles Xavier, and the Brotherhood, a band of powerful mutants organized under Xavier's former ally, Magneto. You could say that the film is built on a firm base, but it's also one big pile of self-obsession. It holds the attention but demands complete suspension of logic. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them.
