I friggin enjoyed it.
I mean... the concept, WAR, was the focus of the film and they did it well. With any movie that has chaos and OMG FIGHT CHAOS as the big climax, and I do mean almost ANY movie, then yeah.. sadly, character and story development take a huge backseat. It upset me, but because I'm a sucker for the latter two!
With all that said, I appreciate what the movie went out to do. Yea, I was pissed as all hell that:
a. it went by FAST
b. Cyclops and Xavier just.. die
c. some things were never given time to be explained (see a)
but you know what.. this was a time of panic, and chaos, and because of that, this movie did a good job of portraying exactly that. Props for the endings too. The Magneto ending and Xavier surprise definitely made me feel better about the deaths and results of the film.
Good movie. Each one was quite different from the others in the series.. but damn, I wish this one was given more time.
