The worst part about this is that (almost) everyone on screen is trying so fucking hard, but the writing completely sinks it. The entire plot relies on everyone in the story acting wildly out of character, it has the worst villain of an X-Men movie, and Quicksilver, the most promising new character introduced in the series, is completely sidelined and wasted. And on top of that, nothing ever comes of him being Magneto's son. Magneto never even finds out.
While Days of Future Past was great, the whole idea of this new series set in the past was just so ill-conceived it hurts. It could've been great, but it was squandered by lots of genuinely stupid decisions. Like, why the hell do these movies take place over like forty years? No one ages that entire time and none of the movies past DOFP even make good use of their time periods. So why even do it if all it does is make everything make no sense? That scene in DOFP showing this timelines future is kind of pointless after this one. How could any of these characters convincingly age up to that point from the 90's?
It's just such a fucking mess, it's completely baffling. Hopefully whatever Disney has planned for the X-Men is a lot better thought out.
