It was a really fun action movie and I did enjoy it a lot. I've to admit it's not your typical comic book movie, like Spiderman 2. But it is very well thought through action movie. Some of the SFX like the rockets changing direction in midair were very well done and I enjoyed them a lot.
In general this movie lives a lot from the dialogue. It explains how it all started. In my opinion this movie is way more dialogue driven than many other action movies. There are not many odd jumps within the plot. The actors portray their roll very well, but don't do much on their own with the character. They keep pretty much to the script. If they had done a little more with their character and added some more humor to the character it would have made the movie even more enjoyable.
The movie is set during the Cuban Missile Crises and that works very well. In the movie the setup for the standoff between USA and USSR is done a little too quick to be really convincing. If the producer had spent here a little more time setting things up, that would have been a significant improvement. Although I love the SFX with the rockets changing direction a midair, it also adds an almost comical element to the movie. Not sure how that could have been done differently, but this scene should have been serious.
The scene were Magneto starts moving into the direction he's going to play in the other X-Men movies, is not what I would call a happy fit. It's done too quickly. The producer didn't take enough time to set up things right. There is just too little explanation given to really explain it, so that the viewer would be convinced. And of course I just loved Wolverine's great line!
All in all a very good action movie. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give it a 8!!
