The story is all over the place. It has a lot of stuff happening but most of it is pointless. Characters are not really developed yet they try to romance each other. That looks awkward as hell. The movie also carries and multiplies all the negative experience of the original one. Surely it wasn't a misfire but it doesn't deserve much of a praise.

The good version of her! No, I am not a fan of the FC one. This movie has an outstanding cast, excellent action, fantastic FX, spectacular eye candy AND the funny just comes out of nowhere. Bamf! This is a great movie and will probably be my favorite of this set after the next time I see them. I can watch this every year.

How could I have possibly missed this movie?!? This is one of the best superhero movies I've watched. It's emotional, it has great dialogue, it has some of the best acting in the franchise (yes, including the First Class trilogy and Wolverine trilogy), and it really hit on a lot of themes.This is what I would reference as an X-Men movie, through and through. They stood together as a team, really pushed the themes of X-Men (equality, being different, the dangers and in-fighting of mutants, etc.), and it showed the dark and good parts of humanity. They characterized almost every character of the cast, and dang the choreography of the fights was epic. Mad props to the Wolverine vs. Yuriko. It was awesome and pretty gruesome for PG-13.The casting was also excellent. Special props to Hugh Jackman once again, and Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler. Really stole the show, and was probably my favorite character other than Wolverine in this movie. The cinematography was also stellar, especially the transitions with the hallucination person.What knocks this movie? The very end of this movie
it really didn't make any sense. There's also a few moments where suspension of disbelief is a thing, and this movie tends to focus more on Wolverine way more than the rest of the X-Men. Would still recommend this movie regardless. Buy it on Blu-Ray if possible.Rating: A-

Plot Overview: Short after the events on Liberty Island, a human task force with the purpose of killing all mutants rises and kidnaps Professor X(Patrick Stewart). Both the X-Men and Brotherhood of Mutants alike must join forces to save mutant kind.Directed by Bryan SingerStarring Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman# NO SPOILERS!Overall: This movie is a great superhero movie and triumphs over its predecessor. Everything from acting, action and story goes bigger but it also makes it better.Would Recommend.# POSSIBLE SPOILERS!Patrick Stewart was excellent as Professor X as was Ian McKellen as Magneto. I love the relationship between Charles and Eric and think that it is very well done. Hugh Jackman was born to play The Wolverine and that shines through here. Halle Berry was a good storm as was Rebecca Romjin as Mystique and Alan Cummings as Nightcrawler. Famke Jansen was good as Jean Grey. Brian Cox was amazing as William Stryker as rivals Magneto for my favourite X-Men villain. Stryker's lack of powers made him an interesting and compelling villain and stood out for me in the film. Every character is used to appropriate potential and was used effectively.The story was great and the doomsday weapon used was very interesting and unique. The twist on the weapon at the end was also great and made the movie more tense. Superb ending with a shocking sacrifice. As much as I loved the way they played around with Wolverine's past, I hate the overwhelming focus on Wolverine in these movies and wish more could be given to other characters.There were some nice shots but the editing and some poor lighting let the movie down in the cinematography department.There were some pretty cool and interesting effects.This movie provided great action and gave justice to all the characters. The oddball attempts at humour fell flat for me but I imagine they may hit for some people.Personally, I really enjoyed this movie and think it was much better than its predecessor(which was also really good and I recommend). 9/10
