Laugh, hoot and hollar!

My husband and I nearly cried we were laughing so much. There are so many scenes that are beyond our reality (and to be honest we can't imagine spending the kind of money this movie takes foregranted sometimes) but then Brooklyn mama and her crew brings it back to reality. I love the story and idea that love conquers all, marriage is important, and that family is more important than anything (even money or lack there of.) Don't go into this expecting a unique plot, but if you're looking for a feel good comedy, this was awesome!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Fans will rave, critics should hush.

I have to preface this by saying, I love the X-men in any carnation. I will not say that the first X-men movie was good, but it was X-men and that was good enough, then.
This move surprised me by not starting where you think it should - it starts with a flashback that we did see in the first movie of Magnito as a child - and then explaining the facts we've always questioned. Why is Magnito so angry/bitter/resentful (besides the obvious bigotry)? How did Prof. X become a prof? And get paralyzed? How did the beast become beast? (And was it just me or was he a sexy beast, funky feet and all? I love a tall, dark and nerdy! LOL) I was further encouraged that it wasn't the same few mutants of every other movie, but that we see new faces. I thought the use of real war-time reels was genius. (My husband is a real history buff and got a huge kick out of this.) I loved seeing the old computers and tech... truly hilarious.
Overall, I would say, it's far better than most comic based offerings. (And don't we deserve better after they butchered the first Xmen movie and Electra for example?) I would spend the $24 to see it again, and that's saying something.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
