Released in Germany today, too. I just got home from the cinema. It's a great movie, great storyline, very good actors and a lot of potential for further sequels (or prequels ) .

I am taking a bib with me on Wednesday especially for the Fassbender/Magneto scenes. 

Spoiler Alert.  There is bare naked Hugh Jackman arse in this film.

You're welcome.

I saw it yesterday, and I also liked it very much. I watched the 2D version. Is the 3D worth checking out as well? Don't think I will, but I'm still curious if anyone saw it on 3D.

I saw it in 3D because it is very hard to find a cinema which shows the movie in 2D at a reasonable time (usually they show 2D versions at the afternoon, not suiteable for working people  ). I don't think there is any added value to watch the movie in 3D but I am in general not very keen for 3D.

I saw it on Wednesday and it was very, very, very good. I saw it in 3D and, personally, I think it is worth watching in 3D, especially some of the special effects. This film has what is one of the very best bullet time scenes I have ever seen in my life. The chemistry between James McAvoy's Xavier/Prof X and Michael Fassbender's Erik/Magneto (God that man is gorgeous! ) is tangible. The scene between older and younger Charles is also excellent. The whole ensemble played it superbly. I loved the way that the 70s is captured through the costuming- I have a particular 'thang' about Magneto's Fedora hat and blue shirt and Wolverine's Liberty print shirt. The use of different speeds/types of film is also excellent. It sets up perfectly for the next in the series. And yes, you get to see Hugh Jackman's bottom! I went to see this with my brother and his 13 year old daughter. We talked about it the whole way home.
