This was just absolutely fucking awful.

I really enjoyed the original X-Men trilogy (even the third one, to an extent), but this thing was just terrible. Then again, it's the definition of a money-spinning Hollywood-endorsed prequel, so I really shouldn't have expected anything more to be honest.

It was good stuff, but the best western of all time? Nah, I don't think so. The build-up to the final showdown is very well-executed, and the plot gives it all a very interesting backdrop, but it just felt like it dragged on far too long for me, whereas the Good, the Bad and the Ugly (which was actually longer than this one) just breezed by in what felt like no time at all.

I'm still not really that impressed, basically.
