Thanks to Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen the film is loaded with acting gravitas, although Hugh Jackman as Wolverine gets the nod as coolest mutant, just beating Rebecca Romijn's shape shifting Mystique.
What made me smile was the two actors that basically launched the whole Marvel phenomenon... One's from Huddersfield (Stewart) and the other (McKellen) is from Burnley. Just a few miles and one long road apart.
The question is do i go on from here and watch all the X universe movies? I guess time and the restarting Premier League season will tell. |
Easily the best of the Franchise.
