Still an entertaining entry to the series, and a clever way to combine the two casts while also spinning everything off into a new and separate timeline, yet I found myself bored and ultimately disappointed much of the time. After the first scene in the future hellscape and other time we see what's happening there is dull and mostly shot against a greenscreen, leaving all the fun to the 1970's sequences. And while there are some fun scenes, most notably one with Quicksilver, the plot itself is thin and once again too heavily reliant on Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. What I liked about First Class is that it had a fresh feel to it, but with this one it's once again more of the same. Either way, a good film, with an interesting set-up for future installments.
