The IMDb has become the desert wasteland of the movie studios who flood voting and the haven of our youngest millennials who live to vote for tripe like this, rarely having experienced a good movie or watching anything more than 5-10 years old.

This is a very mediocre and predictable X-Men movie dragged out for about 20 minutes too long. The script is weak and unfortunately dumbed down and needlessly mindlessly violent. Without ruining the film... you're going to ask yourself why the young girl doesn't talk. Cheap, exploitative tricks like this and a really rushed, dumb ending (because we need the same Kodak moment in every film) make this a pretty boring, droll drag of a film that is camouflaged in a deeper "so this is what happens when X-Men get old!" There was nothing deep about it.

The lazy script leaves open gaping holes but I won't repeat them as a spoiler. Just be prepared to realize that this is a much lesser film than is being lauded here. People feel they must praise Jackman's departure as well as Stewart. If it wasn't for their excellent acting, this film would have gone quickly to cable.

Notable are excellent special effects. I give them credit for seamless visuals. But the violence in this film was gratuitous and stupid, running into the face of danger like Superman. And at the end, after hearing all of this "we perfected it" rubbish, you'll have to wonder why the movie resembles Highlander. There can only be one. Really? Why is that?

Don't kid yourself. This is a watchable film but nothing you'll care to see again. Farewell X-men, you cashed in one last time.
