I was looking forward to watching this for months but ended up watching it at home in my home theater after my friend bought it. I am so glad that I waited and that I didn't waste my money.

X 1: This was R-rated. I do watch R-rated movies, but my children are big fans of Marvel super-hero movies and enjoy watching them too. What kind of message does this send if I have to tell them that there are heroes they can sometimes watch and then there are heroes that you can't watch because of nudity and F-words. And yes, the violence was pretty intense too.

X 2: I was bored. Wolverine's first encounter was so-so. He wasn't threatening or scary. He was pathetic. I kept thinking he was going to fall and not get up. Just when you think he is going to call 911, he suddenly pops up and almost seems like his old self for a minute. Then he is back to "Get me my walker. Where are my pills?"

X 3: Nudity. At 20:00, he is driving around a bride and her bridesmaids in his limo, and of course she has to ask him to watch while she juggles her breasts. Yes, that was essential to the plot.

X 4: At 37:00 some action starts. I almost got my hopes up. And then we were back to, "Someone help me up." When there was action, nothing was held back. Heads and body parts were flying. Blood was splattering. People were dying. Maybe this was more true to form of Wolverine going full tilt...and then he falls down again, waiting for someone to help him up.

Over the years, I was attached to all these characters. By the end of this movie, I was almost hoping everyone would die so I wouldn't have to suffer through another boring movie with these characters. This just did not have the feel of an X-Men movie to me.
