I went to see this with two X-men fans and knew nothing of the series and wondered if I'd feel confused. Instead, I found the plot nicely spelled out and the characters easy to understand. It's a fun movie, and while Hugh Jackman was amazing, Liev Schrieber nearly steals the show with his evil brother character. I'd recommend this movie to anyone over the age of 12, as the violence is too much for younger kids.
