Bryan Singer continues his retelling of the X-Men universe by going WAAAAAAAAAAY back to ancient Egypt and resurrecting some blue dude! This movies definitely has shades of Stargate (1994) and The Mummy (1999) with a sprinkle of History Channel's Ancient Aliens thrown in ;-) Matt kinda liked it while Byron was the more typical viewer giving it a decidedly low rating. Enjoy!

Random trivia: Although not in the movie, Sir Patrick Stewart jokingly informed Bryan Singer that he would be willing to play Mystique, should Jennifer Lawrence "start playing up." He said: "I am so ready to be naked, painted blue, and the world is ready for it too."
