Best X-men yet, very involving, but unbelievable

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2011)

Many a reviewer here loves this film and at first watching, so did I. However, being a movie buff, I tended to relive the film in my memory and moments during the film that very briefly had me going "what the?" came to the fore. Upon seeing parts of it again, those issues were exaggerated.
Acting was mostly great. Xavier, Magneto and Raven are prominent here. Ice girl (or whatever her name was) was nothing more than breasts.
Story was mostly great. Where it sucked was the sudden conversion of Magneto and especially Raven from friend to enemy. And, when the Russians fire a missile (controlled by Xavier) this missile magically happened to be pointed at one of their own fleet!!!
I get it, they're mutant so they have special powers, but surviving unscathed from crashing in an aircraft or submarine is not one of those special powers! And magneto has powers over non magnetic metals! Come on!
Obviously not intended to stand against scientific plausibility.
Overall. Excellent viewing but if you know anything about engineering or science, be warned.
