    Aiight so I watched it yesterday..... really dope lots of back story. Not as much action as usual but its definetely the best xmen release, and the best superhero movie (marvel/dc) in a while

    For real, b. It was so much better than I expected. I thought it was gonna be complete ? , but it was like...yeah. It was just a really good movie, with some super hero ? in it. Like, you loved the characters and not the powers. I feel like a movie like say the first couple X-Men joints tried to make you love the powers and then the characters.

    Yeah good movie best of the X-men joints so far but not better than TDK or the 1st Ironman

    I expect the next X-men movie to be better since this one took alot of time with setting up the characters and back story.

    Good movie.. Both the actors for Professor X and Magneto did a good job (I usually enjoy James McAvoy's work), not better than TDK or Ironman 1, Ironman 2 wasn't that great to begin with so I say it's better than that one. I wasn't a big fan of Wolverine Origins so I'd say this was better.. And the other XMen were such a long time ago it might be on par or better with which ever one I thought was the best..

    Also Kevin Bacon played a really good villain, just seems like all the humans were wack for the most part.

    Not On Par With DKR Or Watchemen....But I Would Still Give It A 4/5....A Very Strong First Half The Second Half Started Took A Little Nosedive...As Good As Iron Man 1 And Spiderman 2 Better Than All The Trilogy X-Men Film

    Finally getting to see it on Thursday, and apart from some faults with the film that I can't be bothered delving into I was seriously impressed with it. It's far better than I thought it would be plus I loved the whole pacing and vibe of it. The fact that it seemed less like a comic book film and more of a thriller/drama makes me like it even more. Easily the best film in the X-Men series as far as I'm concerned and for me it's the one that the other blockbusters need to beat this summer.

    Apparently he keeps dying and returning to life in the comics, converting to pure energy or something like that. The actor did hint he had the best power out of all of them so I'm guessing he'll turn up again in the sequel, or at least I'm hoping so anyway. They killed him off far too quickly, it's not even funny.

    Darwin getting 'killed' and Angel saying "? you!" to her friends and turning to the dark side without even blinking. Black people stay losing in Hollywood.

    Better than X1 AND 3 , on par with 2.... had a good story... though the cameo had me laughing ( and everyone else in the cinema )... Cant wait for 2nd one... also Magneto stole that film hands down.

    Me and my bro were laughing @ that because even in this type of movie they find a way to ? off the black character.I guess they figured Lenny Kravitz and Lisa's daughter was enough.

    Can we just throw this out there that for whatever reason Fox decided to shill this as a origin story when it was really a re-imagining. I don't like that at all. It's like they got confused on how to market it.

    i thought it was really good.

    funny, i thought i was alone when I said X2 was the best xmen movie

    i liked X2 better for the action sequences, but this movie had great action and a really good storyline

    very enjoyable film
