I have no words.
MICMIC RATING: (tumataginting na) 10/10!!!
(Although admittedly, my very low expectations might have had something to do with the score.)
The Good:
+ SO. MUCH. X-MEN.
+ X-treme and X-citing action sequences! A generally better handle on the different mutant powers. Also...Mutant Tag Team! (Magneto and Storm! Blink and Colossus!)
+ A large but very well-balanced cast and a dialed down reliance on Wolverine/Hugh Jackman to drive the story.
+ Great story! Even with a familiar comic book story, it still manages to be interesting and makes surprising plot swerves. And the pacing between story pieces and action pieces is well done.
+ The sense of urgency and real consequence. The tone was appropriately darker and more mature. (Can't have the end of the world without anyone actually dying, right?)
+ A visual masterpiece. Set designs were magnificent.
+ Light humor and tons of callbacks to all of the previous X-Men films as well as fun little Easter eggs from the comics.
+ The culmination of the X-Men cinematic universe.
+ The culmination of the X-Men cinematic universe.
+ QUICKSILVER! And that show stealing kitchen sequence! Avenger's Quicksilver is going to have to step it up a notch!
+ A much better Mystique (than in First Class)
+ Bobby Drake and Kitty Pride!!! + A faithful incarnation of the Sentinels: Brutal, relentless and often times frightening.
+ Cameos galore!
+ SCOTT SUMMERS. Boom. Panis.
Future X-Men ROCKED!
Colossus + Blink! Iceman + Kitty Pride! 
Don't judge a book by its stupid looking jacket.QUICKSILVER WAS SHITBALLZAMAZING!
Scary Sentinels are scary.
What the after credits scene SHOULD have been.
The Bad: (but not deal breakers)
- Post credits scene was just meh.
- Occasional lousy Sentinel CGI
- Magneto shooting Mystique was just stupid
- Underutilized Tyrion Lannis....er, Peter Dinklage
- If Bishop was alone, he'd be totally useless.
Oh, and no Rogue.
Better than Avengers or Cap 2. THERE! I SAID IT! After all these years of watching X-Men movies and feeling underwhelmed, I can finally say that this one was just absolutely GREAT. It was so much fun to watch! The X-Men franchise has finally redeemed itself!
PS. For those who didn't get the post-credits scene, I shall explain.
The guy you see in the end and has blue skin is APOCALYPSE. Here are the things you need to know about him:
- He is not a woman. The blue skinned person is a DUDE. Albeit an effeminate looking dude, but a dude nonetheless.
- He's the X-Men villain that tops all other X-Men villains. (Kinda like Goku's Majin Buu, or Superman's Darkseid.)
- He was the first ever mutant. He was born several thousand years ago in Ancient Egypt.
- The people were chanting "En Sabah Nur". This is Apocalypse' birth name. Also, it wasn't "Istanbul".
- He has the ability to manipulate the molecules in his body which lets him control his size, density, shape...(Meaning he will never get pimples, and never get fat.)
- More importantly, he can repair any injury, and practically give himself any weapon or superhuman ability. The possibilities from his ability are almost limitless.
- He also gets his hands on advanced technology further augmenting his mutant abilities and giving him that traditional metallic/mechanical look.
- He believes in a survival of the fittest philosophy. Only the strong should survive. (Regardless if you're a mutant of a human)
- The four guys in horseback behind him (during the post-credits scene) are his Four Horsemen. They're Apocalypse' posse - Death, Famine, Pestilence and War.
- He's the boss fight in X-Men VS. Street Fighter.
