2nd best X-men film?

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2011)

I admit I enjoyed it, but there were a few pretty major problems. Mainly casting, ineffective storytelling plus it didn't add up with the other films. For example, why didn't they just cast Kevin Bacon as the Nazi soldier in the beginning? The two actors looked nothing alike. The film didn't explain itself clear enough either. Now I realise it's a 're-boot' not a prequel. But that's just plain ol' lazy. Overall, it was pretty damn entertaining and impressive visually. I really liked James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender's performance. But I don't understand why Charles had an English accent when born and raised in America?
