Ok. I saw this movie last night at midnight, and I thought that it was pretty good. I never read the comic books, so I can't say how accurate it is, but a friend of mine says that it is nothing like what happens in the books.

A few comments:

The bad:

I'm probably not going to be very popular for saying this, but, I said it for X-men, and I said it for X-2, and this proves it: Halle Berry is a terrible Storm. She's a beautiful actress, but she absolutely fails to capture Storm's personality.

The Phoenix didn't have nearly a large enough role. Most of the movie she was just standing around looking angry rather than actually doing anything.

The good:

Other than Halle Berry, most of the casting was pretty good. As with the other two movies Patrick Stewart is perfect as Charles Xavier. Kelsey Grammer is brilliant as the Beast too. Ditto for Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ian McKellan as Magneto.

As is to be expected with a movie with this kind of budget, the special effects are awesome. Especially the parts where the Phoenix is actually doing something.
