I loved this one. The filmmakers showed a true understanding of the characters and the world they inhabit. The complicated relationship between Charles and Erik is at the heart of the story and it is around the boundaries of their respective views that all of the other aspects of the plot fall. The actors portraying them do a masterful job of making the characters their own. Fassbender in particular redefines his role in a way I didn't think possible. The other characters all do at least a passable job of holding interest but most are truly outstanding. If you're a fan of the comic, of the movie series, or of movies in general, go see this one. And keep a sharp eye out for a meaningful cameos.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Not bad, but...

I enjoyed this movie, I really did. It just required a bit more suspension of disbelief than most comic movies. The action in this film does not disappoint. There were some cheezy and over-the-top moments. The story is a mixture between what we expected to see based on the X-movies and the Wolverine Origin story from the comics. It makes sense in the confines of what's already been established, even if it does stretch credulity a bit. All in all, it was enjoyable to watch. If you agree to accept some characters acting inconsistent with their comic book counterparts, a disappointingly small amount of screen time for Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Kitsch, and an overly polished feel to the film, there is a lot to love about this movie.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
