A co-worker of mine saw it early and he told it the movie sucked. Suffers from all the pitfalls of Singer and told me they turned Magneto into an idiot.
The reviews are all over the place, ranging from 5/10 - 8/10 .
The rotten tomatoes average is approx 45% ouch.
The top critics are murdering it :sad:
The only common positives among the reviews seem to be Jean, Quicksilver, and Magnus.
the common criticisms seem to be pacing, overly destructive, horseman get nothing to do , too many callbacks to earlier films
It seems Fox wanted Singer to go full Zack Snyder/Michael Bay and were overconfident after Deadpool and DOFP:
Everything theyâve built will fall is sounding strangely prophetic.
I have two friends who watched it already. They gave it a 7/10
Anyone shocked though? I do admit that the X-men had good movies in their own right but there was always such an odd feel to it that nobody could love. You donât need to be a strong comic nerd to have a bit of dislike towards the X-men movies but just being a kid from the 90âsâŚ
I just never understood why Fox always forced this shit version/rendition of it.
They really hated how Mystique was such a big leader of the team⌠it was just so odd. They also claimed the Horseman didnât do anything impressive.
