simply "fantastic"

Absolutely amazing. I loved this movie. I"m one that's a HUGE fan of the X-men movies, and I don't think Stan Lee who was an executive producer would let his characters be ruined by poor script writing All of the characters were very believable, and while yes it did slow down slightly after they received their powers, it was showing how they each reacted and coped with getting them. Which I loved about it. It shows that while some characters may enjoy the powers, and get right into using them, others don't like them, and would much rather them be taken away just as quickly as they got them. It provides a more human aspect to the characters rather then keeping them too comic-y.
They way they ended the movie, you can tell there is a sequel in the making. Which I believe will be even better then the first one. It was the same way with the X-men movies. They took their time introducing the characters, the backgrounds, and the powers, and when and if the sequel does come out I believe we'll be able to see more of the amazing powers, and different abilities they are able to do with those powers.
I highly recommend seeing this movie if you are a fan of the Marvel comic.
