Yes, there's some really unconvincing Xavier stuff in this movie (the creepy romance with Moira MacTaggert and his again-forgiveness of Magneto), but the character is still great to behold because James McAvoy does such a fantastic job in the role.

The aforementioned mind fight against Apocalypse is the easy highlight of his part in the movie, but he continues to be the connecting tissue between all the heroic mutants and villains, and it'd be a shame if McAvoy ended up his tenure in the franchise on this rather underwhelming movie.

Still, on his own merits, a solid showing for the character, if easily the "least" of the First Class trilogy.
