This movie was awesome. I enjoyed it more than any of the first 3 X-Men movies. In terms of super hero flicks, I think only the Nolan Batman flicks have been better. Magneto is by far the coolest of all of them though. This movie answered a lot of questions for people that haven't read the comics, explained motives, and put things in a grey area instead of just "good vs evil" really.

Excellent movie. Loved the 60's vibe. It was like Mad Men meets X-Men in some ways. James McVoy is perfectly cast for Dr.X.

My only mini gripe is the mutant and proud thing got slightly tedious. But, I still give it *** 1/2 out of ****.

I still like X-Men 2 better, but it was light years a head of X-Men 3 and Wolverine. Magneto was played perfect. I thought he nailed the role. And McAvoy as a young Xavier was very believable. I was upset they did not cast an Irishman as Banshee, but I really liked the kid playing him for some reason. Most of the X-Men take a backseat in this film though. I wouldnt call any of them main characters.

The Cameo of you know who was really cool and unexpected.

I actually really liked this movie and I wasn't really expecting to based on the previews. I almost thought it looked dull there but it worked nicely and kept me entertained throughout.

The Magneto role was really great and I loved his look at the end. I thought Kevin Bacon did a really nice job of being a villain too. Both cameo's were also nice to see in tying the films to the others.

This was my favorite super hero movie since Iron Man and Batman Begins, really well thought out. I'll probably be picking this up on Blu Ray when it comes out.

      We definitely overpaid but as long as he's not lined up at NT he's been a starter level player which is a major step in the right direction compared to last year's D-line.  Because of his contract he'll definitely be here next year, but I fully expect him to be a cap casualty next offseason.  We'd save 15M in cap space if we cut him in 2027. I don't think he sees year 3 of his deal. I'd be open to keeping him around in 2027 but his deal would have to be reworked to a substantially lower number.

      Getting left out in favor of less-deserving Alabama is an honor bestowed upon a new team every year. Miami should take pride in back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time in decades. As long as this doesn't cripple their program like it did FSU, they should be able to go for another one next year.  And, being someone who also likes to see Miami do well but knows its penchant for horribly timed losses, there's a great chance they don't find a way to beat UVa or Duke last night regardless of the matchup on paper.

      Truth be told, I just like a 4-3 defense better and I'll just jump in with any chance to make that statement. Seemed like an opportune moment.
