My least favorite X Men was number 3. I think I might be the only person here who actually liked Wolverine, pretty much anything with immortals in it is about my speed, except for Highlander II ofcourse.

Skipped that one based on X3. If that's any indication then skipping First Class based on Wolverine is an even better decision.
It's scientificish!
Good call on Wolvie - ya didn't miss anything.
I wouldn't apply that logic to First Class though. New writers, a director with experience in the genre who was given more control (Wolvie director Gavin Hood had never done action, and was removed from the film several times during shooting) and many of the producers have been replaced. And it's getting pretty decent advanced buzz, whereas the word on Wolvie was rather toxic far in advance.

Dunno, but the more I see of this ( via trailers ) , the less intrigued I am.
Might be cause I'm not all that well versed in original X Men, the characters, etc...
I'll still go see it, though.

Anyone actually catch this flick yet? Been told by a semi-x-fan that it was good... and more importantly better than Wolverine. How could it not?
I was harsh on the X films and can appreciate them a lil more now. The ending of 1 and 3 made my brain explode. ...and well, Wolvie, it destroyed the brain containment unit I later aquired after the first incident. I mean super Ryan Reynolds (i do not even care what he was actually called in the film, weapon x something I am sure). Gimme a break!!!! WE do not need some "super" battle to make wolvie cool/bad assed/awesome, etc! I'd rather have him fighting normals in great numbers than that.
I am hoping this film will at least have a good script/plot/acting. ...and yes I saw the glaring continuity issues just from the trailer. Give me something to believe in.

Wloverine origins was on tv again. Still strikes me as to how the time line got shredded in the 2 movies...
Xavier gets crippled in the early 60's, but can walk again in the late 70's, among other things.

Ha, ha. A beer! That's what I should have done! Sat and watched it with my nieces and nephews and even they weren't impressed.
Not a fan of the X-men films in terms of a saga but I did enjoy the third one for some reason?
Just out of curiosity are they called 'X-men' because they're Xavier's men/women?

No. Supposedly X is the "X for unknown" (as in solve for). The gene that causes the mutations is an unknown gene or X gene.
I watched it fer free the other day...I thought it was mildly entertaining( and free didn't hurt! 
). Acting wasn't anything to celebrate or whinge about. There were some definate cheeeeezy parts, but some fun parts as well.
I haven't seen Wolverine...and I'm not sure I want to. I think the group action is half the fun.
I miss Gambit. He was my fav...Mon Chere...

Thanks for that Wish. Figured I was being a little simplistic about that. Cheers.
