Had to literally escape college to catch the 3pm showing with a mate. He had to see it that early because any later and the bus he needs to get would stop running. Walked in just as the 20th Century Fox logo came up, so it was good timing (was a dash against time, I'm gonna be in SO much trouble on Monday for running away)
Great opening sequence, with Nightcrawler. The Phoenix thing was obvious to me as soon as I saw Jean Grey having a telepathic spasm. The fire in her eyes later proved my theory. Shaba.
Kind of slowed down at points, not enough action. More violent, though, with Wolverine slicing and dicing soldiers, heh.
Some pretty funny stuff, like when Mystique was flipping off the guards. Thought the "dam's about to blow" lasted too long, seemed to last the entire end of the film. "Oh no, the dam's gonna blow.... in half an hour!"
Decent ending, but why didn't Ice Man freeze the water, or Storm? I assume the prof was too out of it to help. Why did Jean have to live the jet, she could've done it from inside. I understand WHY they had her do it, but no real reason other than "She made a choice" was given.
Anyway, good film, enjoyed it. Not quite the amazing piece of cinema I was expecting, but I still have The Matrix for that.

I prefer the Pyro bit to the Magneto bit. And Nightcrawler tops them all. But Pyro chats crap - "You know those dangerous mutants? I'm the worse one". Lies! Liiiiiiies! Professor X can kill people by thinking too hard! And Pyro has greasy hair.
Rogue's fit.
Rogue's fit.
Saw it last night, and thought that it was a great action/ superhero movie.
The opening scene was excellent, the black smokey teleportation effects were great.
I can't stand Cyclops though. Never much liked him in the cartoon, now he's just so bloody 'good'. Makes him a crap character. They could leave him out of the next film, he can go off to sulk, or something.
Wolverine owned that movie though. It was kind of his story though, so I'd expect to see a little less of him in the next one.
I thought the way Magneto escaped was excellent. I expected Mystique would just go in there as the guard, I didn't expect the iron in his blood at all.
One thing I didn't get though, why was Rogue flying the jet at the end, then stuggling to land it? Was there any reason for that at all?
One the subject of a third movie, only a few of the cast are signed up for it so far. Most of the new characters in this movie, plus Rogue are the only ones at the mo, but I'd think the others would want to do it, and given the amount this has made so far at the box office, I reckon the budget should be there.
So yeah, best movie featuring a religious German mutant evar!!!!1!

I su'pose it's like giving a kid a car and expecting her to drive it without any lessons. And I think it showed her wanting to help despite being, well, pretty crap.
She's still fit though.
