8.5/10. The best X Men movie I've seen. It's also the best performance by Lawrence. I would venture this could match the 2000 movie in excellence, perhaps as an equal. True it takes liberties with the Cold War but there's been other filmmakers who're guilty of this. Michael Fassbender really sticks out here as the sympathetic Magneto. He's a man torn by vengeance and trying to do the right thing. We all probably struggle with something like this. A well put together movie.
Professor Charles Xavier: Listen to me very carefully, my friend: Killing will not bring you peace.
Erik Lehnsherr: Peace was never an option.
Question: If Charles Xavier and Mystique were like brother and Sister, why did he never mention this in the first 3 X-men films?

Chosen answer: Why would he? It is hardly unusual for a person to never mention a past relationship with someone if they were particularly hurt, angered, or disappointed, resulting in them acting as if that person never existed. It can often come as a surprise to others to learn that a friend or relative had some prior relationship they never knew about.
