The story the movie is based on is quite vast, spanning multiple comics. So the full story could never fit neatly into a movie, not even 2. The basic elements are taken here. My expectation with this movie was a drama based story centred around Jean Grey, and that's what I got. I'm astonished at just how negative reviews have been. The film would never have Jean slaughter thousands of people because its just not feasible for the target audience. The character has to be redeemable. The action scenes could have been much more vast, but I believe the intent here is to keep the action scenes intense, not too broad. It worked early on, but in some instances it didn't. That said, I enjoyed this take on the story, much more than X3. It's sad this iteration of the XMen is coming to an end as it moves over to MCU, but i do feel it ended on a good note. Pay no attention to the critics. This, in my opinion, is a good send off for the Fox films.

I waited a while to watch this show and avoided reviews. The show is witty and full of adolescent humour, easy viewing which sometimes is difficult to find which wont bore me. For some reason I found the story of Adam much more engaging as i found his isolation and his struggle to find himself much more relatable to me when i was young. My only gripe was the predictable narrative for the most part. There was only one or 2 things that threw me, but apart from that, a great series! Cant wait for series 2!
