Excellently done, definitely go see

I don't know what everyone is complaining about. For most of the movie I was in awe and on the edge of my seat. The effects are breathtaking, and for the most part held true to the comics. I think people forget that this is only a movie that is two hours, and that it is impossible to fit everything from a multi-year comic book into such a short span of time. However, it was a lot better than I expected, and I can't see how anyone who saw it can possibly argue that it was anything short of wonderful. To a fan of the comics, it's everything we could have hoped for. The only way that you would find the plot to be convoluted would be if you were both unfamiliar with the comics and had never seen either of the first two installments.
People are saying that too much emphasis is placed on wolverine's character once again. I think that only what is necessary is placed on his character, but that his involvement in the events at hand, demand that he maintain a prominent role. Storm finally gets more recognition as do the younger mutants. their characters become more developed, but further development had to be spared as to not complicate and stray from the plot. as i said before, people forget this movie cant be ten hours long, like it would be if they added every inconsequential tidbit to make everyone happy. they do a really good job of delving deeper into the character's lives in this one, than in either of the first two movies.
In short, definitely go see it. Don't let these pompous critics make unfounded judgments, it was wonderfully done with careful detail and respect paid to the original works. I don't know what else anyone could want
