I thought this movie was awesome. I was very glad that they spent much more time with the cast from First Class than the earlier X-Men movies. I just enjoy McAvoy and Fassbender much more as Professor X and Magneto. The back and forth was great. The working in of other mutants with the future battles against the Sentinels was awesome action/effects. Yes - there are going to be many that question the timeline of the X-Men movies and where the hell everything stands after the end of this movie, but I have zero desire to get into that. There was more than enough of an effort towards continuity that made sense while watching this movie. I don't want to ruin that by thinking "wait a minute . . . . . ."
I would definitely recommend people checking this out. Again - they will drive you nuts if you decide to go down the road of figuring out the entire timeline of the X-Men movies. But if you are able to turn that off or leave it alone and just enjoy the ride that this movie is - you'll love it. It's not as good as First Class, but I would put it on par with X2 which is my second favorite movie in the franchise.
