The story line is really the star here, bringing us up to speed on how things started for our favorite characters. On the other hand, acting was superb, and I agree it did give the opportunity to sympathize with Magneto's position. The sound track was great and the cinematography well done, even with a lot of CGI. Overall, I really liked it despite it being long, which just gave a chance to develop the characters more fully (such as Xavier's leadership qualities). Go see it, you will not be disappointed.
This movie was ok, not fabulous. Typical Speilberg stuff with everyone staring at the sky with their mouths open. And it is definitely a little corny, feel good movie. Other than that, the kids acted well. The sound track was good. I enjoyed it, but not the "blockbuster" of the year.
This movie was worse than the last one. I really like the series, but the stories just keep getting weaker and thinner. Mila is still great though obviously older. The good 3D effects in this one make it passable, but without much of a story it will disappoint most people.
