Less action than #2 but a good time in the theater

YOU MUST STAY THROUGH THE END CREDITS TO SEE IT ALL!!! As a long time fan of the comic I thought this was a good addition to the trilogy. I was puzzled by some of the creative decisions that were made to keep the story moving. The use of the Juggernaught (who is not a mutant), the lack of mutant powers being used in the final battle (6 x-men against around a hundred brotherhood, the fact that Jean Grey would Never Kill Scott summers even accidentally, the overuse of profanity, and small things like the absence of main charters like Nightcrawler to name a few. Many of the non-comic fans that attended with me thought it was a great stand-alone movie. And as a whole I tend to agree just and those few points of contention did not make it an un-pleasurable experience.
