Yeah, I hear very divided opinions. But it seems a lot loved it for the same reasons than I did. I'm never really a fan of the Marvel movies - like Iron Man for example, or Avengers - where it's all only funny lines and action but not much substance. While this was a great character piece with two great actors, and the little girl was phenomenal. I went and bought right away every action figure that I could find. This rarely happens with me.
I guess it does not keep well with the continuity of the other movies so it's better to see it as a standalone piece. I can see how lifelong fans are annoyed at the way how the deaths were done, but then I also think that there is no good way to die in the X-men universe. For me it would have been boring if it would have been another going-out-in-glory-while-saving-the-world death. They are unreal. This one felt very real to me. I can connect to it better.
