Dakota Fanning leads off with a narrative exposition about Nazi beginnings of Division and the various mutant powers. There are a plethora of these: Watcher, Mover, Pusher, Shifter, Shadow, Bleeder. This is a complex array and they are dumped on the viewer en masse, which makes this highly complex magic system become formless and impenetrable.
Set in Hong Kong with an exceptionally capable cast roster there are some great scenes and the cinematography is beautiful. The plot consists of running around talking to a bewildering array of NPC quest givers in search for a MacGuffin that does something important - it is never quite clear what! Perhaps a smaller cast and more focus, with some abilities held back for a sequel, would have been better.
The star of the show is Fanning and her 'father/daughter' relationship with Chris Evans is effectively portrayed. Initially this was planned as the first movie in a trilogy, it is clear why no more were made; I gave up the will to live about halfway through!
