Just saw this.
Spoiler!
I love that it basically gave Bret Rattner a giant middle finger and completely undid the abortion that was X-3.
A few things I wanted to see, I didn't really get and I have some minor nitpicks with the thing overall.
I wanted to see Wolverine tearing ass through some Sentinels ala his famous quote "Hey Tin-Man. Im about to send you back to OZ......in pieces." Didn't get that because of the shitty bone claws business because the time period of the story was before Weapon X. Wolverine basically has one scene of badassery in this one against a few greaseballs and that was the extent of it.
I wanted to see some Sentinels getting wrecked by X-Men, but all you really see is them getting barely slowed down, and the faces of some pretty cool X-Men just getting flat out raped. Its kinda cool, like those old What-If stories, but it was a bit of a bummer just seeing them all go out pretty unceremoniously without them really getting any cool moments of tearing some shit up first.
Sentinels looked a bit too similar to the Destroyer Armor from the first Thor for me, all the way down to where the head opens up to fire the death beam.
Should have been Rogue's DNA that was used to "steal" and adapt to any mutant power. Taking Mystique's DNA should have just made them able to look like whatever they wanted.
Hank being able to "hulk out" I didn't really like at all. Moreover, if Hank could use the serum and still "beast mode", why could Charles not use the serum to walk and call up his psychic powers whenever he pleased like Hank could? Charles is a far more powerful mutant than Hank.
As said, nitpicky. But still a very well told story overall, and the fact that it corrects all the BS from the previous films is an awesome bonus. The possible stories now are limitless, including a Dark Phoenix film done correctly.
Loved the ending where everything at the mansion is as it should be, with cameos from Scott, Jean, and Rogue, and with Charles taking a peek into Logan's head to figure out what his problem was and realizing what he'd just been through.
