It's the weakest of the 4 "first class" X-Men films. The first 2 films were really good and among my favourites of all the X-Men films.
This wasn't as good as Last stand for me which also has Jean turn bad.
Saved by some good actors and some good action scenes as they battle each other. Overall it's nearer the bottom of the class of all the X-Men films that have been made.

The first time I watched Dunkirk, I felt disappointed by that fact as I felt like the film kept building and building to a climax that was a little underwhelming. My mind changed the 2nd time since I already knew the plot and the outcome.
The simultaneous events in the film keep the tension going in a masterful way. You, as the viewer, are really not able to settle into your seat very much as the storylines keep bouncing back-and-forth between land, sea and air every few minutes.
Unlike SPR, this story is more about the situation and events in a grand scale, so you don't really get to know individual characters that much. That seems by design.
Hat's off to the score by Hans Zimmer here. He has been doing great work on film score's for years and this is one of his best. Supplements the beat of the film perfectly.
Although I read mostly positive reviews here, I would recommend a 2nd viewing for those still on the fence or in doubt of the film's craft and majesty.

First of all, the plot isn’t anything new. Tortured and wannabe musicians have been done to death in films, and sadly much better than this. The entire film drags too, it’s so slow and dull and feels like it’s on forever. Aside from the ending, it’s rather boringly predictable and can’t even be saved by Bradley Cooper. He saves this film as his performance is brilliant, but I really don’t rate Lady Gaga, I didn’t think she was good at all, I found her very irritating and other than her voice which is of course phenomenal, I really didn’t like her. I also thought the start of the film with the beginning of the whole romance was so cliched, cheesy and a little bit cringeworthy. The songs were really good and with Bradley Cooper’s performance in general they made this film at least vaguely watchable, but I would never be in a rush to watch this again. Such a disappointment.
