While it was definitely a lot better than X3 and while it had its moments, I felt that ultimately this wasn't much more than a collection of cheesy and overly serious elements filtered through some excellent acting from McAvoy and Fassbender. It does an admirable job of putting all the pieces together to form the origin stories of the main characters, but it fails completely at coming up with any worthwhile secondary mutants. The revisionist history and setting are cool, but never feel real. And god, is it ever so cheesy.
