I read one review saying actually everybody are phoning in, and he used surprisingly for James. But alas, that one is just some nonsense.
James's performance in this movie is very good, Charles in this movie is charming, funny, caring and brave. I love this Charles so much I want to fight for him and I want to hug him. And he is drop dead gorgeous in this one
Critics tend to leave him out of review maybe because other people has more interesting arc or more/less desired performance to praise/attack, plus they probably just assume that he would be great as usual so no need to bring him up.![]()
I just saw the film yesterday and do not understand the very bad reviews (of course, some things could have been made better and perhaps this is not the very best X-men film, but, imho, they have done well with keeping a balance between old stuff and introducing new characters).
With regard to McAvoy/Xavier I can only underline the above quote, he portrays Charles as a really sweet and gentle character (or as described by you above), but also very firm in his beliefs/ideals (the right mixture). I found his scenes very enjoyable and the film in general as well. And, yes, he is


I would really like to comment on more stuff (pros and cons), but will rather do so in another thread.
Btw: I saw the film with a friend who almost does not know anything of the X-men films, but enjoyed the film, too.
