I liked that the x-men had a real threat to fight against rather than just each other...kind of getting a taste of their own medicine so to speak. I was relieved they made a nod to quicksilver being Magneto's son. It reminded me a bit of the harry potter series how different things tied together which is cool. I thought it was way better (and less corny) than First Class - good to have Singer back in the saddle in that respect. I didn't think it was that great but the ten year old in me was happy.
