Then they just shoehorn Jennifer Lawrence's Mystique in there and make her the focal point and she's just not interesting. She literally drags the rest of the cast down with her. And it was so obvious at that point that they needed a leading star after Hugh Jackman's departure and they gave it to JLaw strictly based off of her role as Katniss Everdeen. But it was just so forced.

It lacked fun....this was the 80;s. Where;s the music? The crazy clothes? THe hair?

So much wrong. The problem is they keep trying to have JLaw and that Magneto guy in the movie because they were big stars, destroying and plot lines for that reason. I do not blame the writers but the heads forcing the writers to keep them in the story.

Back then JLaw was a rising star. I do not really here much about her. Maybe she Katherine Heigl'ed her career. WHat's done is done. Now Disney will run it to the ground. Maybe X-Men will extend the shelf life of the MCU but I think it's hit its peak and now on the downside of a curve.
