2185

The chasm from X2 to this was so large as to give it a perhaps somewhat ill deserved reputation as a horrible film. It's not. It's just very mediocre, being overstuffed with characters and plotlines, and not letting any of them properly resonate with the audience as a result. But in hindsight with expectations adjusted, it's more bland than outright bad, and no worse than, say, "X-Men: Apocalypse" (which similarly followed a strong entry in "Days of Future Past" and thus looks very bad by comparison). ( )

Último capítulo de la trilogía cinematográfica "X-Men". Un hecho amenaza con alterar el curso de la historia. Por primera vez, los mutantes pueden elegir: o conservar su singularidad, condenándose al aislamiento, o renunciar a sus poderes y convertirse en seres humanos normales. Los líderes de los mutantes sostienen puntos de vista antagónicos: mientras Charles Xavier aboga por la tolerancia, Magneto defiende la tesis de la supervivencia de los más aptos.

The government weaponizes a cure for superpowers.

The action doesn't work. The characters don't make sense. (Phoenix, who is described as a creature of unfiltered joy and rage, just stands around doing nothing and looking vacant for most of the movie. And why is Professor X suddenly and inexplicably a villain? When did that happen?). There's nothing to the plot except an allegory which is undermined by its own idiotic writing. I mean, it's a movie about oppression which basically makes a case for oppression. Who are we even supposed to be rooting for in that last battle? The only good thing in the entire movie is the shamelessly cartoonish Juggernaut.
