So, if you like the x-men movies, it is a no brainer that you will enjoy this. If you are not a fan of the typical x-men movies, you might find something else in this one, simply because it spends more time on explanation and motivation than it does just showing super powered fights. There are some great moments of special effects and awesome battle scenes (especially with Gambit), but the movie is not inundated with them. The director did a decent job at giving back story without letting it get too far into any kind of "best drama award" category. If you are going into this looking for oscar winning acting, then you must not have seen any of the x-men movies...lol. Visually it is great, acting is far from cheesy, but also far from oscar performances, and the movie is just plain interesting and fun. Isn't that why we go to these in the first place? I think it was money well spent and a great time.
