The worst of the original X Men trilogy by far

Rating: 4/10 (2 April 2014)

Whoever thought it was a good idea to continue this film without Bryan Singer is a complete idiot as this film is a large step down from the others which is so disappointing. This film picks up just after X2 with the X-Men attempting to recover from the events of the previous better film, while Magneto is creating a huge army of mutants to destroy the humans. This film is just not very good, it isn't horrible but it just isn't good in my opinion for several reason. For one a problem with all the X-Men films but most of all this one is the continuity of these films unlike Disney's Marvel films plot points in this film contradicts the previous films but also future X-men films. Also even though this film is meant to be more epic then the previous films with higher stakes how come it is shorter then X2? it should have been at least 15-30 mins longer to possibly attempt to save this film. There is more as well as one thing that angered me was taking out two huge fan favourite characters in the first 20 mins in this film which was another thing that angered me. However, there is some positives with great performances once again from the usual group of Magneto, Professor X, Storm, Jean Grey and Storm but a few of the new characters introduced I really liked with Beast and Juggernaut being great in my opinion. Also there are some great effects in this film that are a great positive. But I am sorry this film is not good enough for all these reasons and I must emphasise how happy I am now Bryan Singer is back.
