I just saw X-Men: First Class.
It was a pretty good movie, but pretty terribly off-canon for anybody who read the comics (as are most of the X-men movies). Professor X didn't injure himself that way, Magneto and X were friends for much longer than depicted before splitting ways, some of the characters were completely off the timeline they were originally created. I also didn't like how they didn't explain a lot of the powers and abilities of some of the other characters practically at all.
The original X-Men were Xavier, Cyclops, Beast (unmutated and buff as fuck, had more mutations than just big feet), Angel (original feather wings, who showed up during the first x-men movie, before Apocalypse replaced them with metal wings), Iceman, and Jean Grey. Quite different from this movie.
Good action flick for what it was, one of the better X-men movies. Liked the cameos in it. Just not that great for die-hards.
