I enjoyed the new X-Men tonight on my date with the missus. Really good characters and such, though like others, I'm not too certain about the casting. Magneto, Prof X, and Beast were pretty good, IMHO, but the others in the first class seemed out of place or lacking the necessary "charisma" for a comic book movie. Kevin Bacon, whom I consider a good actor, never really felt the part to me. I would've liked to see Christoph Waltz in that part, he would have been spectacular.

Overall, I enjoyed the movie and will probably watch it again. Though, I dunno if it has the repeatability of the original X-Men movie.

BTW, X-Men was just pure awesomeness, X-Men II was fairly good to me, and X-Men: Last Stand was pure utter garbage and I want to scoop out with a fork the part of my brain that remembers that atrocity.
