I like the fact that this movie feels like an anthology story, separated from the X-Men canon to show a standalone story with its own ups and downs.
The film manages to eschew superhero clichés to some extent, staying for the most part in its first two acts as a pure action film, though finally falling into its rightful niche in the last act.
Regarding the characters, Viper is a cartoonish villain who feels unnecessary and out of place in the story. If we took her out of the movie, we would have a better final product.
Despite having flaws, it has good decisions in the direction. Also, it shows that there is a good budget behind it, because many technical aspects are of good quality.
I don't know how faithful the movie is to the comics, but I was quite entertained. Simple, but good.
