Doesn’t seem right without roided up Hugh Jackman.

Looks great, I'm in!

Getting cooked. So disappointing but I always get my hopes up.

Which is ironic to me because he is a classic miscasting that worked out well.

Didn’t Russell Crowe turn it down?

Didn’t Russell Crowe turn it down?

Crowe at 6 feet would still tower over Wolverine from the comic books (just 5'3" tall).

Perfect for Tom Cruise.

During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite -- not only to save Jean's soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.

[Chaplin]

Getting SLAMMED by critics. Saying that it’s the worst X-Men movie.

 

[Chaplin]

Pretty awful first 90 minutes. But the last 30 was pretty good. Didn’t really care about the resolution, but at least the end was good.

 

[GatorAZ]

The last two X-Men movies couldn’t deliver yet they were lucky enough to hit the jackpot with a Fassbender/McAvoy pairing. We probably shouldn’t be surprised though right?

They were barely together in this movie.

I can't wait until all of Marvel's creations/characters are under one roof. There are so many stories that could be adapted into films. Too bad it was segmented for all of these years.

You know what speaks volumes? As a comic book kid by FAR my favorite was Wolverine and the X-men. I mean not even close. I loved the avengers and iron man and black panther and the nighthawk defenders and iron fist and power man and silver surfer, and of course read Thor, Spider-Man, hulk, fantastic four, etc., and even the old Inhumans. But nothing compared to the X-men. And the run of X-men movies just fell so flat for me that this movie doesn’t even make me want to go see it. That’s a somewhat crushing realization.
