Seems that critics are not happy with the intertwining storylines and the mass amount of characters. I would love to see the movie stay in the 90% on Rotten Tomatoes, but realistically I think the movies going to end up in the lower 70% on Rotten Tomatoes.

"Mixed" only in the sense that a small minority disliked it. I think the headline needs to be updated.

Are The Independent and The Thelegraph more reputable than Digital Spy, Variety or The Hollywood Reporter when it comes to reviewing blockbuster movies? I don't think so.

I don't think it's mixed, at least until now. Sorry, I know of how many people must be just dying to see this movie failing, but I don't think this is going to happen this time around 🙁

HWR? SD? which all gave it a great review.. why is this article so slanted in saying it's mixed? Are you a frustrated critic who really wanted to be an artist but do not have enough compassion to really create something? I think so… so sit around and critic.. no one really listens to critics anyway, they are the cockroaches of the art/movie/theatre world.

But, in addition to the favorable reviews you have listed here, there are excellent reviews from Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Screen Daily and likely some others that I haven't seen yet. I think "mixed" is premature–it's looking very positive.

These films have officially entered Star Trek territory for me – they're just too nerdy with weird looking aliens interacting with real human beings as if it's perfectly normal. I saw X-Men 2 in theaters in 2003 as a 10 years old, but now I've had enough of this crap. The Usual Suspects is a masterpiece, but Singer is becoming a hack.
