I'm not a huge fan of X-men and so I'm probably less biased as other fans. I enjoyed the plot very much. I'm kind of confused as to what kind of a deal did Victor have with Striker that made him do the things he did. I also don't understand the final scene with the helicopter and the guy using telepathy to communicate. Who is he, and why didn't he arrive earlier? Special effects were stunning. Overall I was very pleased. I guess if I knew more about the X-men I would appreciate it on a deeper level.
