Reaction: The X-Men film series continues to steadily improve in all box office areas as each new film is released. Even with the increase in budget, this film managed a pretty big jump in the profit department.

“The strengths of these X-Men movies is how Dwight Gallo uses all of his characters' powers for good use. This time around the film also features a good villain in Andrew Scott’s Essex. The scene-stealer for me is Garrett Hedlund as Gambit and I still hope to see more of him. Probably my favourite X-Men film out of the three so far.” J. Johnson, DailyMovieNews.com

"Again, writer Dwight Gallo and director Alex Garland find a way to pushing the X-Men lore and world further. Everyone is giving it their all especially Andrew Scott as the lead villain. With every film feeling like its own standalone, I do feel like the universe is moving forward but some plot holes hold it back to being truly great. Can't wait to see what challenge lies ahead." - Eric Frazier, Daily Mail (UK)

"I don't envy the task of writing these X-Men films as they are essentially films without a lead character to push things along. While the number of characters does make it hard for the film to maintain momentum at times, writer Dwight Gallo probably does as good of a job as anyone can at making it all work." - Joseph Goodrich, Salt Lake Tribune

PG-13 for superhero action/violence
