Have none of you heard of the Marvel Multiverse? Marvel has done this several times, characters associations and origins and even timelines are completely up to whoever is writing it. The characters in the movie exist in an alternate continuity then the characters you are all mentioning from the animated series. Although i dont know exactly which continuity, or "universe" this movie takes place in, the fact that it lacks continuity with other films/comics means little really. I mean, look at the Noir alternate continuity, the xmen are a bunch of juvenile delinquents using their mutant powers for evil, and the head detective tracking them down is magneto...Does that follow any movie or cartoon you've ever seen? If you try and compare and criticize this movie based on the other movies/comics/cartoons you've seen, it's never going to be as good as them, because it is different. Just take it for face value. If you didn't like it that's fine, but not liking it because it "didn't stay true to the personalities of many of the popular characters, and they even had trouble staying continuous with the recent X-men movies" is dumb imo.

Well said.


Basically, you just have to see it for yourself and judge it for what it is instead of trusting someone's opinion on a forum. I enjoyed it as a fun comic book movie. I appreciated the 60's spy movie style that they stuck with throughout the movie. The end credits design was a nice touch too. Yes, the continuity issues are obvious. The writers and directors knew this when they made it and didn't care. It wasn't perfect but it was much better that X-Men origins Wolverine (in my opinion). Anyway, I'm just holding out hope for an awesome Deadpool movie in 2014. As long as they get that one right this new x-men trilogy doesn't matter too much to me.
