Love the look of Bishop, Warpath, and Blink. Very accomplished cast, most of whom have headlined movies before on their own. There's no replacing Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, and this time, there's also Dinklage, and with a Thomas Magnum 'stache to boot.
Cons: I don't like that they gave Wolverine the job that Kitty had in the comics. I'm getting tired of the scowling Wolverine schtick, and Hugh Jackman is looking older (even when he's not supposed to). Still hate the Beast's look, and I'm worried that a lot of the characters I was just starting to like will either be present only briefly, or entirely skipped. I can only imagine each of those now-very-expensive actors will only be on screen for about six or seven minutes each. And where are the Sentinels? (I'm guessing they're being re-CGI'ed.)
Upshot: Looks good, but I can only get excited so much for X-Men movies. The Wolverine and First Class both surprised me, though, so I remain optimistic but wary.

I was underwhelmed with the trailer. Which might be a good thing.
And Nolans batman was not really a comic movie imo, it was a great trilogy, but not a comic movie. closer to a bond flim.
To me this movie cannot be done properly unless three hours or more.
