I like the XMen franchise, but I was quite leery about this particular movie.  I guess that I wasn’t really interested in seeing the mutants as youngsters.  There’s just something about using different actors for familiar characters that doesn’t always work for me. Not this time!  I was pleasantly surprised ...
