More like an episode of Dallas than one worthy of the X-Men

Rating: 5/10 (23 May 2016)

While it had the great cast of usual phenomenal actors, I found the writing to be unnecessarily verbose akin to a bad soap opera using bad two camera cutaways. To me, anytime a movie relies too much on the word and less on the overall film as a storytelling vehicle means they rushed it, had not budget, time, etc. Like they tried to squeeze a movie into its wrongful constraints. In the end, it's a movie of the week you watch at 4 PM and not the remarkable big screen story of most of its predecessors. Glad I didn't pay to watch this installment. Don't be lazy or short with this franchise. It deserves far better as well as the fans of it.
