The plot is as complicated as the title itself, but it’s done so masterfully that there’s no scope for complaints.
The acting is superb, and the chemistry between the cast members is noteworthy. It grips you instantly from the get-go with an elaborately orchestrated action sequence, and keeps you on the hook till the very end.
Even when there’s not much going on-screen, the emotional intensity feels very real and palatable.
The introduction of Quicksilver couldn’t be any better. He steals every scene that he’s in, and makes vital contributions whenever he’s needed. Hugh Jackman once again kills it as Wolverine. Only this time he shows his depth of the character in a more vulnerable and experienced way.
There is a couple of surprises throughout the film, and the inclusion of humor every now and then- makes the movie worth every penny!The conflict of ideologies between the Professor and Magneto is impartially depicted. And the dark past of a few major characters is carefully handled.
Overall, a solid A+. And a must-see film of 2014.
