Dragged myself to the theatre to see this since I'd already bought tickets and I did actually want to see it. It was good. Not amazing or awful, just good. Some of the special effects were really bad and I'm not sure if it was because they were 3D effects that don't work in 2D but they really fell short. The acting was good, though I'm a huge James McAvoy fan so anything he does is gold to me. The best part of X-Men movies is the mutants of course and this movie didn't disappoint. There were a few mutations that stood out, like Angel and Banshee, but they were all very cool and very well done. Some of the music choices left much to be desired, such as when the mutants come in to save the day the "heroic" music was way over the top. My other major issue was the makeup for Beast. Since they had a point of reference from the third movie they should have kept the fur and mouth prosthetic the same. The prosthetic in this movie barely moved and seemed so awkward on the actor where the previous one did not. I loved the 5 second, 2 word cameos from Wolverine and the original Mystique they were hilarious and extremely well timed. Wolverines was made all the more funny with James' reaction to being cussed out by Hugh Jackman. All in all I liked the movie and will add it to my collection, gotta catch 'em all XD but my favourites will stay the original trilogy especially the third movie because the story, characters, actors, music, special effects etc all came together perfectly in that movie. <333
