Only two complaints: The Beast effects didn't seem quite right and nothing at the end of the credits.  Kevin Bacon makes an awesome villain  plus I loved the two cameos.

Nothing at the end of the credits shouldn't be a complaint. It didn't need it and we as film-goers shouldn't expect it, despite what Marvel usually tells us.

@flap_jackson: I agree, but Marvel has trained me to wait after the credits.   I should of guessed there wouldn't be any because the X-Men films aren't affiliated with the Samuel L. Jackson cameo Universe.

I really want to see this, more than thor, captain america, or green lantern, as far as comics movies go.
 
I've seen thor, it was ok, but I think i will be impressed with it.

I seen it pretty good movie I enjoyed it. I thought it was better than the first X-Men movie, but still behind X2 overall.

Saw it yesterday, thought it was pretty awful actually. Even without all the areas where you could unravel the story, the acting was pretty terrible except for Fassbender, Bacon, and McAvoy; I think this is the film that officially classifies January Jones as a bad actress.
 
The whole film really feels like it downplays an incredible significant moment in the X-Men universe, also feels like it's weirdly channelling a bunch of Bond films.

@Lydian_Sel:  Jennifer Lawrence was very good! Her character Mystique had the biggest character development of them all and she played the stages very well IMO.  Fassbender was awesome :D  although the end with the accent was a train-wreck :/ 
  
It did feel 'too much' like they were imitating Bond though, I agree with that point.

I've never seen an X-Men film before, but I really enjoyed this. I thought it was great and the acting from the main men was top. I'd certainly watch more if they were made and I might go and scout out the previous X-Men films.

I enjoyed it very much. Rose Byrne was also beautiful and perfect as usual.

@flap_jackson: Thats a hero film, not a superhero film.

But anyways, I just got done watching this. I took a girl out to the movies and she wanted to see Mr. Poppers and i was like... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I convinced her to see this movie instead. She said she really liked it afterwards. I don't know if she was annoyed at my insistence on this movie instead though.

I HAVE NO REGRETS.

Because The Eagle was the best movie of the year so far.
