Watched it. Thought it was awesome.
I don't like to specifically rank movies, but I would put this near the top of the best comic book movies of the past 10-15 years.
Random thoughts upcoming....
-Agreed, Quicksilver best bit of the movie. Though abilities like that are damn near unstoppable, I wonder if he'll be back in future installments.
-Don't agree with whoever said Wolverine was just a prop for the movie, I thought he was a great choice for that roll. Having to experience that just adds to an already tormented character. Wish we had some more badassness though.
-Fassbender was great. Some of the best evil stares you'll see.
-Mcavoy as well suits the Xavier character well
-Poor Colossus had a rough go of it not once but twice.
-Even though the character was central to the story, I felt underwhelmed by Raven\Mystique. Not too sure why. Nothing against Jennifer Lawrence, I think shes good. Maybe I just didn't hear anything she said because I was looking at her blue boobs.
-Didn't even realize that was Striker until the end.
-Future action sequences were great. I think Singer might be the only guy who knows how to film an action sequence these days. Whats the point of fight choreography, if you're just going to jumble it up with shaky cam and quick cuts?
-Aside from Marvel\DC I think this is the only other comic book type universe that deserves to stay on its own. They've got a good thing going. Sony and Disney come to some agreement to get Spidey in the Avengers universe, then all will be right.
