I enjoyed the whole thing but rather like the True Grit remake it seemed a pale imitation on the best of what had come before, although certainly better than X-Men 3 and Wolverine. It was a little too fast paced and abridged although I could follow what was happening having read some X-Men comics I'm not sure others would have such an easy job. A lot of deaths seemed to happen just off screen or the film cuts to a new scene just as a character was in the middle of expiring which seemed a weird choice but I guess allowed for a lower rating.
