Of course it wasn't really comically accurate, but it's a good action film with lots of explosions and average-to-awesome special effects. It had some interesting twists and I really enjoyed the characters. When there's a large group of mutants, it's fun to see how many of them you know even when they never say their names. All in all it's a fun, entertaining movie that anyone could watch and still enjoy, even if they've never read an X-Men comic or seen any of the other movies.
