Just noticed the new thread, my post here has spoilers.. usually these thread just change from speculation to full reviews once the movie comes out, like Godzilla. Usually with these threads I avoid them once the movie has hit Cineplex until after I've seen them.
There was an end credits scene featuring (spoiler)? Damn, we walked out fast because mmf's bladder was ready to pop. I'll have to watch again I guess.
Seriously, amazing movie, amazing xmen movie. I'm glad it was much more of a First Class sequel then anything but seeing some of the old crew again was great. Really loved the differences in style between the two time lines, loved seeing Bishop, Blink using some fantastic powers, loved Blink.
Quicksilver was awesome. Like most he was my only real hesitation but the kid killed it. Literally laugh out loud moments. The entire braking Magneto out of Prison sequence was done on a high level. "whhiiiippplaaassshhh".
Lots of thoughts to add but mostly happy it turned out so well. Plenty of moving parts for Bryan Singer to mess up and he pulled it together almost flawlessly. There were really only 2-3 major action pieces and that was more then enough, the strength of these movies has been characters. the 3rd Xmen was a pretty basic summer popcorn flick but doesn't hold a candle to this. Hack&Lube said it better though in other posts.
Fassbender as Magneto is damn perfect. All time best movie villain.
