Self,
I know I'm late. I'm sure e'rybody and their grandmama's have probably seen this movie by now but I only saw it for the first time last week with my Str8 Husband.
I enjoyed it. I love the genre of films and the franchise it has become. The scene of Hugh's naked juicy booty was the icing on the cake! LOL!
I do have a few...concerns, though.
Like some prequels seem to do when they try to tie-in so many things, it caused some questions of continuity. The main one is Cyclops. I think it's cool that they brought him in through Wolverine actions, but shouldn't Cyclops have recognized Wolverine in the first X-Men movie when he walked into Xavier's house/school? Even if Wolverine didn't have a memory of Cyclops?
(Although now that I think about it, I guess they will use Stryker's experiment on Cyclops eyes to mean he was left blind and didn't actually see him...but really wouldn't the other kids that Wolverine freed have shared Wolverine's description with him and he would have been smart enough to put 2 and 2 together when Wolverine came to the school?)
The other is Sabertooth/Victor, Logan's brother. I like that connection. I don't think I knew that there were brothers, although I knew that they had a past together. (No, I didn't think they were lovers...lol but that could be a interesting twist!) My question is why do they recognize each other in the first movie (atleast I think they did and will have to watch it again to be sure)although supposedly Logan had lost his memory? Why hasn't Victor try to reconnect with his brother even if just to be on the same team again....Logan doesn't remember that Victor was part of the plot to get him to volunteer for Stryker's experiement...so they could start fresh as brothers.
LOL. OK, my only other concern is who is next? Storm or Jean Grey. I think (and vote for) Storm. Mostly because "X-Men 2" and "X-Men 3: The Last Stand" were heavy Jean Grey storylines, that to do a prequel of her would cause an imbalance, although it could be interesting to see. The same goes in the case of Xavier. We don't know his whole story (atleast I don't think I do) but we got a good idea from piecing info together from the other movies...but it would be another "Origin" film I'd be interested in seeing.
Lastly I was hoping that rather than a prequel that they would have continued forward and did a movie that included how Rogue eventually gets her SUPER strength and the ability to fly...(or are they going to keep her a sniveling child?
Sincerely,
Pharaoh
(How can Pharaoh become an X-Men? Would you want to be a X-Men, what would be your "x-factor?")

I liked the movie and I asked the question about Sabertooth/Victor, but I didn't think of the cyclops angel...guess they'll leave those things open for another movie...
OK, now that I actually saw the movie finally, I can comment on the post Pharaoh...
As a long time reader of the comic, Victor and Logan tangle with each other all the time. So, Logan and he have a long history even after he lost his memory. In the comic, they once tried to spin it Victor was Logan's father, even his son, but folks rejected that notion.
As far as the next movie goes...I think it was reported their doing a Deadpool movie. Deadpool is my least favorite character from the X-Universe. But I agree with you, I think they should do a movie on Professor X. I know some of his history from the comics, but like the movies, its good to have a live action feature.
Pertaining to your X-status, what is your active power Phay? Me? My x-factor would be either telekinesis or some ability to fly (which is odd since I hate flying in airplanes).
And mos def, I'd be an X-man, if for no other reasons than for the awesome workouts and the sexy body loving costumes, LOL!!!!
