8.5/10. The best X Men movie I've seen. It's also the best performance by Lawrence. I would venture this could match the 2000 movie in excellence, perhaps as an equal. True it takes liberties with the Cold War but there's been other filmmakers who're guilty of this. Michael Fassbender really sticks out here as the sympathetic Magneto. He's a man torn by vengeance and trying to do the right thing. We all probably struggle with something like this. A well put together movie.

Erik Lehnsherr: I've been at the mercy of men just following orders. Never again.
Trivia: In the bar, when Wolverine dismisses Xavier's offer to join him, Hugh Jackman ad-libbed the line "go f*** yourself." The line was originally written "F*** off." Later, in "Days of Future Past", Xavier remembers the line as "F*** off", not "go f*** yourself." (00:48:15)
Question: Charles Xavier knew about Erik Lehnsherr's past, but did he know about those three people he killed at the bar?
Chosen answer: Xavier can read minds, so it's assumed he knows about the murders.
