[QUOTE="Herschel, post: 5584204, member: 78357"] I really liked it. The relationship between Charles and Eric was kept as the main focus with everything else supporting it rather than supplanting it. McAvoy and Fasbender flex their chops. Jennifer Lawrence was very good also and she worked around in her story "space" very well. Bacon's Shaw also was a good villain without chewing scenes and taking away from the central focus. That's not an easy balance to pull off. The supporting characters again gave us some personality without imposing on the central focus. I LOVED that they used the opening sequence and music from the first X-Men film because it was simply brilliant. Continuity with the comic? My spare rat's backside is still in my wallet. I'm not a big comic book guy and what I have read contradicts itself already in those comics. What I did gather is that Moira wasn't a typical agent and was more brought in on the science side (ala Scully) and she's hot (also ala Scully) so it works well enough for me. The recruitment scene was great and the hair jokes were well done also. Whil the Angel from the other movies wasn't born yet, they did keep pretty decent continuity with character ages from the other movies, epecially the first two (not including Ice Man either in the original group). They treated X-Men 3 like Highlander 2, and I'm okay with that. All-in-all my favorite movie so far this year. I'm quickly becoming a 'if James McAvoy is in it I'm going to see it' person. [/QUOTE]
