I just finished watching The first three XMen movies and followed with Wolverine.
There is a lot to like about this movie. They got Victor Creed so right. I much prefer this character portrayal than the one written for the original XMen movie.
Hugh Jackman is also great in this - I don't think he's ever been bad as the character, he's just improved since the first movie.
The story was great. Lots of great characters involved that we hadn't seen up to this point.
What they got wrong was Wade Wilson (aka Deadpool). Ryan Reynolds did a great job, it's just the portrayal was written so wrong.
But, with the events of XMen: Days Of Future Past, this version of Deadpool can still stand in the old/original timeline. Anyway, glad they did a better version of Wade/Deadpool later.
Also some of the CGI in this is a little hard to swallow. Logan's claws are drawn on way too much - especially for close up shots. They look like cartoons over live action (like Roger Rabbit).
So I liked the story and the movie as a whole but, it did seem to be edited strangely. Like a minute or 2 of some scenes were missing.
If you're an XMen fan then you will like this but, also be disappointed by some of the places they dropped the ball a little.
Otherwise it is still a decent action sci-fi movie.
It's probably the weakest of the XMen movies but still worth the watch.
