I LOVED IT. Every second. From the song (I adore The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face for itself) to the effects, to the characters, to everything. I'll just ditto your entire review. I loved Peter/Quicksilver (second best use of music in the film as well). I do think it's at least alluded that he is Magneto's son, yes? I saw a fan review that said it was unlikely and I was like wtf? Apparently it was unlikely because Magneto didn't come to the US until too late for him to be the father, and I'm like, aside from anything else, it's not unlikely he could've passed through while Nazi hunting and had a one night stand, plus X-Men maths and timeline never works out anyway. But yes, I loved every part of it, and special mention to Peter Dinklage's acting (especially when he was Mystique) and the nude scene for Hugh Jackman. Oh and Scott being alive, because Scott remains my favourite ever, and also Kelsey Grammer's cameo as Beast because I love Kelsey Grammer (and find it terribly amusing that Nick Hoult grows up into him). Speaking of, if you ever see the episode of Frasier Patrick Stewart was in (if you haven't already of course), it makes the X-Men movies very amusing.
