Wow. Never seen superpowers handled better (and I'm keenly awaiting Superman). Beast was fantastic, beautiful casting. Missed Nightcrawler, but hey, we got to see some other new faces, and Mystique showed up again. The final 'twist' was pretty well telegraphed, but other than that, fabulous movie.

Reasonable standard of acting, action and talky-bits were well balanced, and the effects are top notch. I look for these things specifically, and I couldn't tell the difference between the physical effects and the CGI (apart from the Golden Gate Bridge, but I suspect that is a while away as a physical effect). Pheonix's makeup and effects were brilliant.

I am so going to buy this one. It's even better than the other two. Bravo.
