Just got back. I liked it quite a bit all things considered.

Only real complaints echo those I've heard already. Too many characters, not enough development, villain with a non existent plan. Seriously, why was Jubilee in this movie?

I liked the Stryker stuff and the Wolverine cameo but I thought the destruction of the mansion seemed weird and the reason for the Stryker appearance wasn't explained at all. The content was fine but the context was lacking.

Just to add to the comparisons of the other comic book movies recently...lacked the emotional attachment and character development of Civil War. But to compare it to BvS, not even close. With all due respect to whomever said BvS was better on the last page but that's mind blowing. To each his own but wow, I thought is was way, way better.

Full disclosure, I am a bit of an xmen comic geek. Xmen/wolverine is about 1/3 of my total collection so maybe I'm a tad biased.
