• misterwolf Pros: Got some good storytelling and the performances and legacy cast are all well and good. Cons: Too fast-paced and a little too brooding.

• jirihracek On the one hand, I appreciate Fox's choice of actors and the plot isn't entirely bad. On the other hand, I'd rather cast new actors in all the roles. And more into the birth of the X-Men. To explain where they've been and where they came from. It's possible to build on older films, but I'd rather start from scratch. But that's just my view.
