Well, I've just seen it again (third time now). and my God, it was even better than the previous times.
Really, I can't find fault with it except for tiny things (Beast doesn't look as good at the very end, Bishop underused, wasn't sure if McKellen Magneto died or not). So I'm almost willing to give it a 10. It's a big thing to make a film so perfect in a score, it gives very little leeway when you give an ultimate rating.
To me it is of Dark Knight level, it's just a shame that the film's opening weekend never rose to the level of X3 and beyond, but we are in a very different place these days with box office (see also the openings of the Amazing Spider-Man films).
Now, finally, I am going to write a review for my blog!
So bloody good, and well worth the multiple viewings. Kinberg has redeemed himself, Singer slots back into franchise where he is obviously meant to be.
