They got some of it wrong, but what they got right was thrillingly fantastic

The problem with an x-men movie is that someone is always going to complain. For one, you have the comics and then you have the movies. Some would say the only similarities are the names of the heroes. But then, there are so many different versions/timelines of said characters in the comics that its kind of strange to complain that the movies to match them enough. I am sure the biggest complaint that your typical hardcore xmen fan will have is that their favourite villain, Apoc, was not done nearly well enough, and you know what, they probably have a beef. But the rest was done so well that you can overlook this and really enjoy a great movie. I would even go to say that if Apoc was done in such a powerful way as you might expect, then he would have to have met his end in an equally or more powerful way, and there's really only on hero capable of that and if that hero did that, well, there would be no where else to go for that hero really afterwards.
Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed it, this being a fan of the comics that never read the comics hardcore.
One more thing though, has to be the most violent of all the Marvel movies to date, lots of people meet their end in a not very nice way, not too visual, but visual enough.
