Also, Kevin Bacon is an unconvincing bad guy, I kept expecting a Kenny Loggins song to start and a dance montage to follow.
Agree with the Kevin Bacon assessment fully

I will also say that the actors playing Magneto and Xavier didn't have the same chemistry Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen had. Maybe partially because they're way better actors and the scripts were better imo.

Definitely disappointing they didn't expand on the development of their relationship.
