"The character work in this latest X-Men film from director Alex Garland and writer Dwight Gallo is pretty impressive. Every character has their own unique moments, and while I could have used a few more action scenes, the action we do get is really well done." - Roger Taggart, Chicago Tribune




"While the film is a bit lacking in the villain department, it more than makes up for it with how well the script utilizes the ensemble. All the main characters have about the same amount of screen time, which is an impressive feat in a film like this." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine




"The cast does what it can - even Travolta is good in a severely underwritten role - but the stakes feel too low here. We never really feel the threat of everything at stake. Hopefully an inevitable third film gives us a bigger threat for the heroes, because there is clearly a lot of talent to utilize on-screen and behind the camera." - Glenn Howard, Total Film




Rated PG-13 for action violence
