At Least ...

At least it wasn't as bad as X-Men 3. Not a sterling review by any means, but it could have been worse.
The movie moves at a sluggish pace of exposition, followed by an explosion, follwed by more exposition, and then a fight ... so on until the end. The cast was fine - sometimes delightful. Schrieber as Sabertooth was rad. Gambit was fun. And Jackman did just fine as Wolverine (again).
But the story was just not involved. It trudged through predictability with no sense of originality.
So it was ... alright. I'd do a matinee.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Better than the Average Prequel

We went in with low expectations, but modest hope ... and were rewarded! I enjoyed this animated outing along the same lines as the original Clone Wars cartoon.
Both series stand head and shoulders above the prequels - filled with a goofiness and comrade re that is present in the original trilogy and lacking in Episodes I-III.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Better Than "Batman and Robin"

This movie was superb - though it ran about 30 minutes and one side story too long. Ledger's "Joker" will top charts of movie villains for decades, and once again Bale brings depth to a previously campy Hollywood write-off.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
