The movie very nicely ended one of the better series in movie history. The film had a definite feeling of finality and it was essentially a two hour goodbye to all the fans. There were several references to the previous movies and I especially liked the nod to the original Williams Score in the closing credits, bringing the series full circle. You couldn't help but feel a little sad realizing the series was ending now that it had reached such a peak.
The effects were predictably excellent and the action was fast-paced and enjoyable. If you haven't seen it, go see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie went a long way towards restoring my faith in the X-Men franchise, after the embarrassment that was the third film. The action is good, the dialogue is decent and the acting is better than expected. While there are a couple wooden performances, the primary cast is fantastic.
Plenty of Easter eggs and throws to the characters they will become, this was an excellent reboot. I can only hope the sequel holds as true.
Thor was always the weakest of the superhero stories, since it was essentially just ripped off from Norse Mythology, and not in a novel way as in Stargate. However, the movie did justice to the story and made the story engaging and interesting. It was pretty to look at, had great action sequences with some good humor injected to even out the pacing... and there's more than enough man-candy for the wives!
