# NO SPOILERS!
Overall: This is an amazing superhero movies that works without the superheroes. It transcends the genre and becomes something much more than it appears. It's a beautiful story about acceptance and was a huge step in the life of Superhero movies.

Patrick Stewart is great as Charles Xavier however Ian Ian McKellen was absolutely phenomenal as Eric Lashner and became one of the greatest comic book villains of all time. Hugh Jackman was also awesome as Wolverine and began his 17 year journey as the character. Halle Berry was pretty good as storm as was James Marsden as Cyclops. Famke Janssen was a good Jean Grey and Rebecca Romjin was a good Mystique. Anna Paquin was, however, quite weak as Rouge.
It holds a pretty good story and is a nice introduction to the universe. Themes of acceptance run throughout this movie and I think that is a truly excellent thing. It's the story and themes that makes this casual superhero flick transcend what is expected from comic book movies and made it something so much more. It's an excellent idea and works perfectly. It also contains an excellent ending and the doomsday weapon was NOT a sky beam which is nice.
I feel like the movie was pretty poorly edited but apart from that the cinematography was reasonable.
The effects were pretty good and looked reasonable.
This movie needed to:

Give a good amount of well directed and choreographed action ✔

Introduce new audiences to the wonderful X-Men universe ✔

Personally, I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was excellently done.
7/10
