Yeh, i love Ian McKellen. He's lush as Bread and butter! And Angel too was very prettyfully.

It's all very well saying "Just look at the good points"...but throughout the entire movie i felt as if there was just something missing. And there are too many bad moves in the film for the good points to shine.

I'm also a big believer that when a major character dies, they should stay dead, and nothing should bring them back. Though they failed, the Writers obviously tried to incorporate some emotion when Xavier got eviserated, now, such emotion is wasted now that he's back.

Ideally, they should've had hints of Apocalypse throughout the trilogy (so in the first one something in Egypt was discovered - and you hear this on the news or something. In the second Xavier senses something etc). So at the end with the big fight, Magneto could've been stopped (presumably killed), but then after the credits (or, say, in the middle of them) it cuts to a scene with Magneto crawling out of some rubble. You then see a pair of large legs stood in front of him and as the camera pans up you get a half a second glimpse of Apocalypse.

...or something.

It also annoys me that so many of the small sub-plots weren't built upon or given enough screentime as they should've done. I blame Fox, however, 'cos that studio is just...Gay in the face.

Fact.
