Saw this movie the other night - gotta say I enjoyed it very much. A bit of background - I liked X1 and X2, even though they are a little lukewarm compared to the excellent supers movies we are currently experiencing - but that's what you get for being the trailblazer I suppose. X3 I was very disappointed with. The Wolverine movies were disappointments as well. Quite frankly the comic nerd part of me thought they were crapping on the franchise.

First Class actually made me interested in the franchise again, but there were a few continuity issues with the original films and this - enough to make it confusing.

Without going into too much detail, Days of Future Past, in one stroke, fixes the franchise. The good is more or less maintained, while the bad is summarily thrown in the trash or flat-out ignored.

Now don't get me wrong, I have been an x-men fan since I was a kid collecting the comics, and even the current cinematic x-world diverges from the comic in little annoying ways (Alex is supposed to be Scott's younger brother - but they are probably setting Alex up as Scott's father?) - but this new world is serviceable enough to tell some great x-men stories.

And the teaser at the end of the credits has got me really excited about the next installment! Can't wait to see what they do with the character featured.
