This has to be one of the best X-Men movies, even though it's a reboot. I liked the way the friendship is shown between Charles and Eric, even though their philosophies differ significantly. It seems strange that there was another powerful telepathic mutant, though, given how rare that mutation seems to be, and how Apocalypse said he'd never encountered one like Charles before.The juxtaposition of history on top of the mutant crisis was very well done.

Really enjoyable again. I liked the way the characters were developed, and the way they twisted the good and evil. These people were really shaped by their backgrounds.

Very well done, and entertaining. This shows how and why Magneto and Dr. X were still friends, and how they split. Origins are about everything, and Magneto's were quite terrifying. I like Dr. X's confident manner when flirting, and the way he could get practically any woman he wanted. How he changed after the events in this movie! The effects were good, but most importantly, the characters and the story were very well done.
