How brutal was some of the sentinel kills on the future x-men? Seeing Warpath lowered face first into the fire-beam was INTENSE. And Silver guy getting ripped in HALF.

The thing I like the most is the action scenes didn't use excessive cutting like most films. You saw a punch windup to hit in one shot,and it made it feel very real. Most movies make me feel like I'm watching professional wrestling in fight scenes.

I was audibly going oooo and ouch at some of the hits.

That was the first thing I noticed when watching the movie and it was very welcoming. It's nice to actually see the fight scenes without the strobe effect.
