IMDB

I went into this movie cautiously.  I absolutely hated "X-Men: The Last Stand."  It sucked.  I was hoping this would not be terrible.  Thankfully, it was pretty good.
A bunch of mutants form the X-Men.  That is basically all you need to know about the plot.  Magneto is attempting to get revenge on a Nazi and Xavier is trying to bring humans and mutants together.
Like I said, a pretty good movie.  Much better than a lot of the recent Marvel releases.  Leaps better than "Captain America" and "Thor," both of which were awful.  This isn't amazing, but it is very watchable.  I would even go as far as to recommend it.  Although, it does have one problem that a lot of super hero movies also have: too much set up.  You'll read more about this in the my review of the terrible "Captain America."

7.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
