Really?
The Wolverine was OK, but the Silver Transformerai was brutal.
It evened out to be alright, but doesn't even come close to touching X1, X2 , First Class or DOFP.

Apoc, Psylocke, Magneto, Storm and Archangel vs. Professor X, Mystique, Beast, Nightcrawler, Jean Grey, Havok, Cyclops, Jubilee and Quicksilver. Epic. In most movies I would say "Wow way to many characters." But it is the X-Men, not X-MAN, they need the large cast as it is what the whole arc is about.

X1: Wolverine, Magneto, Storm, Prof. X, Jean Grey, Sabretooth, Toad, Mystique, Cyclops, Rogue, Iceman, + a bunch of other in non-speaking/smaller roles.
X2: Wolverine, Magneto, Storm, Prof. X, Jean Grey, Sabretooth, Toad, Mystique, Cyclops, Rogue, Iceman, Stryker, Nightcrawler, Pyro, Colossus, Lady Deathstrike, and again, a ton of smaller characters.
First Class: Wolverine, Magneto, Prof. X, Mystique, Havok, Beast, Shaw, Emma Frost, Azazel, Banshee, Angel, Riptide, (more small characters).
DOFP: Wolverine, Magneto, Storm, Prof. X, Jean Grey, Toad, Mystique, Rogue, Iceman, Beast, Sunspot, Bishop, Warpath, Kitty, Trask, Quicksilver, Colossus, Blink, Cyclops, Havok, Ink, etc..
X-Men has always had large casts, and have managened to make it work very well on most occasions. Sometimes mutants get cast, people get excitable, and then are hardly in the film at at all. Just because they cast people for these roles, doesn't mean they all have in-depth story arcs within the movie. Even in DOFP, Quicksilver has one of the best scenes, but is really only in the movie for a few minutes.
I have confidence this will be good, but it will hard to top DOFP in my books. One of my favorite movies in general.
