Wow. Great to hear only Covent Garden had the Amex card checks.

I say, you should all go and watch it again, just to be sure :p
No extra scene in Greenwich either. Friend and I stayed for the entire credits just to see it! A bit disappointed about that, thought that the previous X-men movies did have it?

I only remember one at the end of X-Men 3. Not sure about any of the other films.

Saw this in Edinburgh tonight.
2 queues, one for Amex cards one without, everyone got in and about 30% seats empty.
Staff were really apologestica nd very friendly about it so didn't feel too bad about it.
Phones taken off people who'd taken them with them and we were all scanned with one of those airport hand scanner things - for what exactly, I'm not entirely sure!?!
Anyway, great film, infact, fantastic. Best film of the year so far. 9/10 from me and a bonus Wolverine cameo! Excellent!! I don't think I've seen a bad film with Michael Fassbender in it!!!

Saw this at a packed Wimbledon and thankfully they didn't ask for Amex card or paper!

They did however start the film 10 minutes early and then stopped it when they realised their mistake.

I enjoyed the film but did think it dragged on a bit. Could have cut it short by 30 minutes.
It was gripping and held my attention throughout. There were many links from other films, was hoping for Hugh jackman to help them out. 7/10 from me

What I really like was the transition from Erik to Magneto, it's what the Anakin to Darth transition should have been. Story story story! Not endless CGI cartoony Jar Jar Binks
