I went to this movie fully knowing that it was not canon as compared to the comics and hereby expecting it to suck, and left the show marvelling at its awesomeness. Yes, it may have deviated from comic canon but it also gave a humanizing outlook to Magneto, who is perhaps one of the most underrated comic book villains ever. And it made Charles Xavier look clueless and delusional on his vision of a peaceful human-mutant co-existence. The acting is first rate for a comic book film (surprise, surprise), with Michael Fassbender outstanding as Magneto and the action sequences are well choreographed without overwhelming the storyline. And the cameos by Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romjin really made my day too. 5 stars.
