Pros: Special Effects, Action Scene, Story

Cons: Few

Yes, the pacing is off from the first two films, and the story differs from the comic book. But, throw those thoughts all away. You want to see mutant on mutant violence? You want to see Magneto at his most Powerful? You Want to see the Juggernaut sm...ash through a wall? If you answer yes to any of this, then this film is for you. Smile sit back and enjoy the ride. The feel of this film is similar and at the same time distinctly unique. The use of Cyclops and Rogue is weak but, they prove to be secondary characters as the focus of the movie shifts between two specific themes. By the way I've got to say this story follows closely to a few of the storylines of the comic and for those that don't aggree with me, do your research. Jean Grey was too powerful for her Body and Professor X did create Psychic blocks to allow Jean Grey the ability to live her own life, without consuming to her own power. Now that that's done with. Two themes, the cure, and of course the Phoenix. I felt that the film conveyed both of these themes well, and the action sequences were fun and let you finally say that you felt like you were part of an X-men adventure. The only thing you have to remember about this film going in is, the first two films were created by a different team. The storytelling style is as different as the difference between Morrison and Clermont. I hope this has been helpful as this was a truly fun movie to watch, albeit shorter than expected.
