Writing that wasn't near vomit inducing?
Plot Structure?
It wasn't the worst movie in history, at times it's amusing and fun and I can switch off for an action movie and just go along for the ride still when so many elements are just B grade your really letting yourselves down. Jackman pulled a good turn as always as Logan and Schreiber was a MUCH better Creed then I ever expected and Gavin Hood clearly knows how to shoot a film.
There is just not much to work with, contrived love stories and unnecessary arch villians plots and a forced sense of pace. There is no real connection to the allegory, which is simply not on for an X-men movie, and the dialogue is a generally to weak to carry any emotion.
When it's just shooting punchy one line zingers and reveling in the action it passes, but movies can do that and still not have to suck at everything else.
Nevertheless I am glad that some people liked it, I have a great fondness for the X-men and while the films can continue to succeed enough financially there is always a chance they will improve.
