Just a little slow or off-pace in places. Decent fights. Good effects. Biggest issue - the peripheral supers were all given far too brief appearances. They were kept around only long enough to not QUITE feel like Red Shirts. Most had nothing really to do, zero influence on the plot, and they seemed to have been inserted only to try and make fanboys go, "Ooh! Cool!".
Overall adequately entertaining but felt tepidly written and executed.

I enjoyed 1/3 of this movie, but the parts with the love story, or anything involving the actual Weapon-X program (or mini-mutant island) was painful to watch. I walked out 15 minutes from the end.
It's like there were two directors. One knew how to tell a story, and one just tossed stuff onto the screen with no regard to establishing a consistent tone or narrative arc for the movie.
I feel the movie would have been much better if the Wolverine vs. Sabertooth storyline had taken place in the modern time (after the previous X-Men movies), with flashbacks to the earlier stuff. That way you could, y'know, resolve the storyline.
If you thought X-3 was bad, don't go see this one either. It's a little better, but it's not good. Please help me atone for the fact that I gave Fox money for this piece of 1/3 toffee, 2/3 crap.

Yea.... for me it was "meh...".
It was OK, typical summer action fare, but it was quite forgettable once I left the theater. It didn't have the same "that was cool" feeling I had after Iron Man, Dark Knight or Incredible Hulk before.

Summer action flick - 7, worth the 2 hours of entertainment. It did not blow me away and overall I enjoyed it.
