    While I liked the movie I'm gonna go and have to call bullshit on a couple of things
    Spoiler...
    Firstly,Mystique shapeshifting into Trask.That was movie convenience at it's finest.I don't care how fucking powerfull or cool or whatever you wanna call it she is.She does not do that,that should be impossible.Even in the crazy world like the x-mens.I'm okay with her mimicking into guys that have normal-ish height,but I gotta draw the line somewhere.Also I'm also calling strong bullshit on Magneto being able to drag Mystique across the street because she had a bullet or something inside her leg.That shit would go straight through her leg in painfull horror and agony.While on the topic of Magneto,another STRONG bullshit movie convenience was Magneto being able to lift the entire stadium like that.It's not that I'm not ok with the concept of him being that powerfull it's because the fucking stadium is like 80-90% concrete.If he could do that to the stadium what was stopping him from doing the same thing with the Pentagon?

    I didn't get to see this yet... it saddens me, as this and Godzilla were the 2 films I really wanted to see in theaters, but whatever. I'll pre-order the 2 of them and have myself a marathon.

    Good movie, definitely one of the better X-men flicks, but still think First Class is the best. Regardless, it was nice seeing a lot of actors/characters back and Quicksilver totally stole the show each time he was on. 7/10

    I really liked this adaptation. I'll have to give First Class another check now, but as of now this is my favorite X-men big screen adaptation. I hated the Sentinel design and it kind of bugged me that certain minor characters suddenly were main characters solely (at least in my opinion) based on the actor/actresses current real life popularity.

    I'm definitely going to be checking the next installment.

    Peter Dinklage is a fucking modern day legend. I can't get enough of this guy.

    Hah! I guess that's a fair assessment of what I said. No, I thought that Bolivar Trask was a well written character and played an important role in the story overall. I'm not as familiar with the comic canon.. but in the '90s X-men the Animated Series Trask was a minor character.. so yes, I guess technically it is true that he played a bigger role and some of that was based off of Dinklage's recent meteoric rise to celebrity status. Though the characters/actors that I had in mind when I wrote those words were the Kitty Pride, Wolverine, and Iceman dynamic. I understand needing the rationale behind switching Wolverine and Kitty Pride's roles in the story.. but then giving Kitty Pride this new found superpower was kind of a weak attempt to give Ellen Page more screen time and become more integral to the overall story (obviously this is all imo, others are free to feel about it however they will). Iceman.. well.. I've always kind of been bugged by how the films have tried to make Iceman the Cyclops replacement. Of the two characters (at least in terms of comic canon) I like Cyclops' story better and I think that he makes a good leader for the X-men. Iceman, I like his power/abilities.. and I think that he makes a wonderful secondary member of the team (kind of akin to Colossus's role) but the fact that the film tries to make him one of the main X-men (and again I can only surmise because of Shawn Ashmore's real life popularity as opposed to it being good for the overall storyline).

    I think that pretty much sums up my opinions on the matter, let me know what you think.

    TL;DR ~ Realized that Booberry's question was valid based off of what I had said. Provided an in depth reasoning as to why I was bugged by changes to storyline involving Wolverine, Kitty Pride, and Iceman.

    I actually think they didn't use Ellen Page enough. Her whole role reminded me of what filmmakers do to actresses who get pregnant. She was basically kneeling over Wolverine for the entire movie, and not much else. Of all mutants used in the movie, I thought Kitty was used the worst (with Quicksilver the best... obviously).

    That's fair. Now that I think about it though, I don't think that my annoyance with Ellen Page makes any sense at all. I guess, realistically, I was just annoyed that they'd given Kitty this new found power and decided against using Rachel Summers (who, in the comics becomes a f'ing badddass character) but it wouldn't make ANY sense whatsoever having Rachel Summers in the movie because she never happened (Cyclops + Jean Grey's baby).. blurgh.. this is getting complicated. What I'm trying to say is that you're right, they probably should've built Kitty's character more given the fact that she is the crux of the time travel storyline.

    I'm all for a Quicksilver movie.. it'd be a chance for an offbeat fun superhero flick.
