It's not easy being a director in any X-Men film. The difficulty lies in making the plot fool-proof, since with so many special powers on display, situations can be simplified immensely.
Just take for example: Evil Colonel Stryker does not even have to take the whole trouble and long plot to trick Wolverine into the experiment of having adamantium injected into his skeletal frame. With the special power of hypnotism by Silverfox, she can easily touch and convince Wolverine to go for the experiment! John Wraith can also easily teleport himself from place to place, so why the trouble to ride a motorbike?
It's a good movie still and worth a three and a half popcorns rating from me!
As usual, it's always a good topic amongst friends to discuss what special power one would like to inherit after watching X-Men. Haha, Javen and I share the same power, which is to become the fastest man on earth (See the paradox here?), earn loads of money from SNOC by winning some medals in the Olympics, win all the sprinting events organised by IAAF, pass 50% of the winnings to my parents, move to a third world country to retire and serve and donate the rest to voluntary organisations all over the world!
They should produce "X-Men Origins: Akash and Javen". Hope it will be a box office hit. Fingers crossed.
