DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

I almost didn’t see this because of the terrible reviews it got by both critics and reviewers but luckily I did because it was amazing. I don’t understand why people rated this so low, is it because wolverine wasn’t in it? Is it because they compared it to the other X-men movies or even the comics and it didn’t meet their expectations? I’ve been a huge fan since the 90s animated cartoon and I’m telling you, the acting was superb and the storyline was excellent. If you enjoyed X-men first class, days of futures past, or apocalypse ( I think that one is underrated massively btw), then you will definitely love this installment. Sophie turner has incredible emotional depth as Jean grey and reminds you of why she was so good on game of thrones; James mcavoy and micheal fassbender are outstanding as usual as Xavier and magneto; the guy who plays beast is above and beyond in this movie, I won’t give spoilers as to why, all the X-men are on their a game. My only complaint is there wasn’t enough quicksilver action but that’s a small complaint with the amazing acting and action we do get. I won’t rui the plot as I said, but this kept me engaged, entertained, and I’m really disappointed in these so called reviewers and critics for being so cynical. It’s not the best movie ever made, but it’s definitely up there with the best x men movies. I always personally thought that the first one in 2000 was the weakest and of course the much hated wolverine origins story but this deserves the 9 stars I gave it. Don’t listen to the critics or disappointed fans, go in and experience this for yourself and enjoy it. Nothing will ever beat the animated series or the comics but this movie is an excellent chapter for the younger mcavoy/fassbender X-men movies. Go see it!!!- Shelley D. Bowen
The beginning of the film had a nice flow to it and I was invested, as the team was on a space mission. It gets right into the storyline. No BS. The middle of the film was a tad slow in my opinion, but it kicks into high gear for the final climax that doesn’t fail to deliver. I do wish this film was two parts to really flesh out the storyline, and perhaps to give faithful X-Men fans the true Phoenix saga they deserve. Especially for the diehard fans familiar with the source material. Did I want the Shi’Ar Empire, Star Jammers, and Hellfire Club in this film? Yes, I did! Given we all know films have a 2 hour to 2 and a half hour timeframe, I knew I wasn’t going to get what I wanted. There was no way to jam all that into this film. What I did get, I was pleased with. This is way better than Apocalypse where Bryan Singer just lost his steam. Word is, the climax was reshoot and the climax in this final version delivers. It is action packed. I am going to miss this cast. As a fan, i don’t feel we had enough time with them. Don’t want to spoil anything, so pros and cons below.- Always Samsung
