This is one of those movies that you need to turn your brain off for. It was fairly enjoyable, but if you are not familiar with Marvel characters then it just won't mean much to you. Granted if you are familiar then you might also not like certain liberties they take with characters. If you can enjoy it for what it is though... then you will enjoy it. The fights are well done and is really the reason for this movie. It wasn't better than X2, but it was better then X3. I look forward to sequels.
