Preliminary note : I've never read the comics so I wouldn't be able to say if the movie is true to the comics'story. That being said, Woah!, many many changes happen in this episode of the X-men, too much changes actually. I found it not to be as good as the previous episodes : I think it lies in the fact that the epic dimension of the battle between mutants and men is not too well rendered, and the central character of this episode, Jean Gray, is definitely not as charismatic as Wolverine or Mystique.
Trying to picture in an hour something as extraordinay as a political and civil war, while following a defined set of characters in their individual or collective actions demands great control on the way the story is built. I personnaly find that the scope the movie is trying to cover is way too large and thus, while trying to do "too much", it does "not enough".
However, for those who like them, it's nice to meet the X-men again.
