Plot:

Mutants are trying to destroy the world. There are also the protagonists in the movie who try to save the world from peril at the hands of the mutants. There is one mutan, Apocalypse, who comes back to life after being buried under a pyramid for more than a millennium. A mysterious someone happens to be the reason for his wake up. The mutant has got some mystic powers which could burn up the entire world. And here comes the role of some able characters in saving the world from the clutches of evil. There is plenty of bloodshed in the movie and sufficient hair-raising sequences that could pin the audiences to their seats.

Analysis:

Those who go to theaters regularly will know that the stuff is the same as in the movie The Mummy Click to look into! >> Read More... . The diehard fans of the X-Men series might find the movie interesting. Otherwise, although the visual effects prove to be a treat to fans, the story is clichéd in the sense that X-Men have been viewed several times.

The sequences in the movie give a fair hint that many more such X-Men movies might hit the theaters in your vicinity.

What is there?

Director Bryan Singer has the genius in him which helps him keeping the audiences entertained.
The performances by some of the characters are worth applause.
The way the story has been told makes the movie a seat-edge thriller.
The action scenes in the movie are a visual treat to the fans.

What is not there?

If you are not a staunch fan of the X-Men Series, you spend time on breaks.
More emphasis could have been laid on the superhero characters.
There are gory scenes in the movie which may restrict children from viewing the movie.

Verdict:

The movie is worth watching for the comic book characters come to life on the big screen.
