it was average to good if you ask me,3/5 erik & charles are great in it,but the rest of the cast just came as additional background characters.

it still doesn't feel like a team movie,just like the original trilogy was a wolverine trilogy this was a magneto film.

some good brutal scenes.

1.x-men first class ***/x-men 2 ***
2.x-men **
3.x-men 3 *
4.x-men origins wolverine *

x-men origins magneto that would of been better.

Magneto stole the show! This back story was what the comics should have been. The fan needs to let go of any sense of continuity with either the comics or previous movies (except cameos) and just enjoy the ride.
