Wouldn't you rather have watched Magento : Nazi Hunter instead tho?

No. But then again, I'm not Jewish.

Are you saying Germans don't count? RACIST!

I'm not Jewish either, which is probably why I don't like Woody Allen/Seinfeld/Curb...but I am pretty sure I would pony up to watch Fassbender(hurm that's a little Germanic ain't it) killing the **** out of Nazi's. As a matter of fact, to steal a line from Doc...I would pay to watch him watching paint dry.

*ahem*

Saw it last night.

I thought it was very similar in tone and style to the first two X-Men films, but stood above them for two reasons: Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy. I know every single review posted in this thread has already said so, but they were fantastic and 98% of the time that they weren't onscreen, the movie felt like a corny, but fun, superhero movie. Not to take anything away from the other actors, but... yeah, those two are just better.

The end on the beach was spectacular. Genuinely exciting. I still think that Magneto helmet looks ridiculous, but whatever. It was a great scene.

Beyond that, though, I didn't think it really stood out from the rest of the superhero films. I might buy it, depending on the special features.

I don't know if I should even bother watching this considering that I haven't seen any of the X-men films, but I sort want to.
