It was good. Glad I stayed for the extra bit at the end. Thanks for the heads-up on that.
It was good, and part of that is owed to it leaning so heavily on all the backstory in the previous two.
This movie didn't give a lot of time to actual depth of character or story, it relied on the fact that 1 and 2 did.
I will say it was good to see things moving along; events happening and the story moving on.
Spoiler: So far as characters being killed without much ado; well, that's more true to real life than perhaps most people give it credit for. If you're playing around with powerful beings who fight, it would make sense that people are going to get killed. Only in soap operas and comics/movies to you make it a "Event!" when a character gets killed off.
Spoiler: You play with fire you get burnt. This movie did let that happen without extra drama and the typical "let's drag out make a huge deal of the guy/gal dying" portrayal most movies give, and most audiences expect. When you think about it, that's cool.
For example, when Mystique's (sp?) powers were removed, and she's a plain ole' human it's a suprise. It's not some built up, "wait for it, wait for it.....saw it coming" type of situation. Magneto's a cold sonuva' bitch about the human/mutant divide and he's true to form, not abrupt. In fact, him being all "too bad, so sad, you got fucked" is true to character.
For me, that events moved somwhat realistically in the movie give it points for not being a typical hollywood over-drama.
