Right up front, I was dreading this movie as I had heard enough people trashing it and after experiencing Batman vs. Superman...well I was worried. Turns out that I didn't have anything to worry about as the movie met expectations in terms of story and FX.
Sophie Turner did a fine job as Jean Grey and she really feels like she is maturing as an actress. Jenifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy all gave strong performances. Once again though Evan Peters as Quicksilver had a great scene set to Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" which considering it was set in the 80's was a pitch perfect choice.
The pacing of the movie was spot on and it never dragged even at 2 hours and 27 minutes. The only hint at the passage of time was the less than comfortable seating at my local movie theater.
One problem though...I wanted to get a bit more of Olivia Munn's Psylocke and Ben Hardy's Angel. However, given just how big the cast is...I get it...there is only so much that can be done with that many individuals.
If you are putting off seeing this movie because of the monkey poo that critics are flinging...do yourself a favor and go see it on the big screen!
