Just came back from the theatre. Some thoughts (as somone who has read only a few X-men comic books and got to know X-men through the animated series)
I loved First Class and the first two X-men movies and didn't dislike the third one as much as everyone else did, but I have to say, for me this one was a 6/10.
-Hated the premise. Time travel is always a bad idea and makes the audience feel cheated (I guess people are ok with it because they hate x3 with such passion).
-No epic battles/no actual villain. Every good movie needs a good villain and this one had nothing of the sort.
-Since when did Kitty/Ellen have that power?
-Xavier was absolutely annoying in this movie. Surely, we all go through tough times, but this was hard to watch.
-Jokes were extremely predictable and thus not funny (Avengers did it better)
-Many dull moments.
-Hated the direction of the fight scenes. Not sure what it was wrong with them; they just seemed off.
etc...
But the quicksilver slow motion scene was one my favourite scenes in any movie I've ever watched. It was hilarious and well made. So props to them for that.
Having said that, they did make him look overpowered. Why not keep him around for the main mission? And can he not beat almost every single X-man with his power? They wouldn't be able to react fast enough even if they tried.
Oh well. Still planning on watching the next one.
