I thought it was excellent. Much better than it had any business being, especially given all the chaos during production.
Sure, I'd like to have seen the Phoenix story done the way Claremont wrote it and Byrne drew it (25 years ago!), but getting all the cosmic backstory into a two-hour movie for a wide audience is really asking too much. To put it another way, I wouldn't have done it the way they did it, but the way they did it is still a damn good movie.
