Fanboys have short attention spans and memory. It was good, but not that great, certainly not as great as X2.
The movie was very underwhelming in how it handled both the time travel and the characters.
My biggest issue was how Quicksilver was painfully underused. In fact, the second he left the picture, the pacing (ironic) just went downhill.
Character motives also bring the writing into question. The entire 3rd act just felt rushed. Even the action was sub par.
Overall it just didn't feel like a true sequel to first class or the original trilogy, even if it did blend to two fairly well. It just seemed like the existence of the movie is purely there to serve as a set up for X Men Apocalypse and the inevitable reboot.
