[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 319335, member: 23"] It sounds as though you may have struggled with the younger Xavier and Magneto a little more than I did. I agree they didn't have the magnetic (pun sort of unintended) chemistry that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen had, but I thought they worked really well and gave wonderful performances. This scene made the film for me: [CENTER] [MEDIA=youtube]oHksDAB9vOo[/MEDIA][/CENTER] First time round the young Mystique didn't work for me, and while I still prefer Rebecca Romijn's version I found Jennifer Lawrence grew on me this time. It was a nice touch that Rebecca had a cameo when Raven shape-shifted briefly into an older version of herself in an attempt to turn Magneto on in bed. That said, I really struggled with the sibling thing between Charles and Mystique. because it's so far removed from their relationship in either the comic or the earlier X-films.
