A good idea hindered by lousy execution

Rating: 6/10 (29 July 2018)

I had so many hopes for this film, though I heard Bryan Singer was not returning. We got Brett Ratner of the Rush Hour films as the director, but here he may have overdone it. Too many heroes, too many villains, and too many plot points all mashed together. It could have been better if they had just limited the characters. I'm not sure Angel and Beast were even needed for this (Beast looked like Grover from Sesame Street with his blue fur). The mutant cure idea sounded a little far-fetched but it could have worked alone without the other plot lines. And there were a lot of other far-fetched WTF moments in the movie, but I'll keep the details to a minimum. Not only that, how were there so many mutants involved in the movie? It's like they all popped out of nowhere. There were many things in this movie that felt tacked on and forced.
Bottom line: If you enjoyed the first two, you might want to skip this one. If you enjoy mindless action, give it a try. If you're not a comic book nut, don't bother.
