I feel like this one grows on you, I like it more each time...

Travis (travishiltz) | 196 comments Better than I thought it would be, but only a good movie, rather than great.

Decent cast and some good ideas, but it's attempts to fix X-history was only so-so and there was a lot of stuff that just got jammed into the last 15 minutes.

And of that good cast, half of them just kind of stood around and weren't used well.
and I'll never forgive how they treated poor Oliver Platt.

Didn't hate it, and I would watch 'Second Class', but not opening night at the theater.

John Lee (johnleelbk) | 3 comments To date, my favorite one as well. Favorite scene; when Magneto pulls the submarine from the water. Very cool.

@ John - that was very cool - great action sequence, but my favorite scene - when the movie really became something more - was the crucial bullet deflection. That was like - "Wow". I wonder if I shouldn't have seen that coming..

Travis (travishiltz) | 196 comments There were lots of good action scenes in this one. Nice job juggling a bunch of characters.

I also like that they managed to do interesting things with a cast that was basically the 'leftovers' after the first three movies.

Ronyell (rabbitearsblog) | 105 comments I actually really enjoyed this movie! I loved how the characters were being developed, especially Magneto and Professor Xavier. My favorite scene with Magneto was during the scene where he went to a bar and started torturing the Nazis who still survived.

Probably my only issue with this film was that the second half felt too rushed and half of the characters weren't developed as well such as Havok and Angel.

I definitely wished for this to happen. I really liked the characters in this movie and I would like to see more of them in the next film.

Yeah, I definitely didn't like how Emma Frost was portrayed in this film. She was just so wooden and she wasn't at all like the character from the comics. If they decided to use Emma Frost again, I really hope they get her character right.

Travis (travishiltz) | 196 comments Yeah, it is pretty sad when the most boring part of a movie is the hot blonde who spends all her time in her underwear...

How do you even manage to do that?

Lisa (lisadannatt) | 211 comments Was a good movie...
Storylines as usual not true to the comic...
Moira MacTaggart???
But hey it stars James Macavoy AND Michael Fassbender, gorgeous and credible.

This is airing on FX right now. I think that it is better with each viewing. Erik is awesome in this.
