The drunken "show me your powers" scene.

The treatment of black characters as "noble self-sacrificing black man" and "disloyal promiscuous black woman."

Zoe Kravitz on the whole, with dragonfly wings and fire loogies.

Jennifer Lawrence, reduced to one note to play and playing it so poorly that I longed for the acting chops of Rebecca Romijn.

First Class has two really awesome scenes (Magneto at the bar, Magneto moving the satellite dish) and some decent effects on the whole. But any time neither Fassbender nor Bacon are on screen, it reeeeeally lags.

Whereas X2 has some of the best action and depiction of comic characters seen in a comic book movie. The opening, the Magneto escape, the mansion raid, Mystique breaking into the Alaska site, Jean preventing the flood from hitting the plane. All still awesome sequences that make me want to applaud.
