Having said that, the original comics do their fair share of ignoring and re-writing history.
Ultimately that's what switched me off Marvel years ago.Stan and Jack did some great stuff...but for f
ks sake Marvel need to get some balls and create new stuff.I did enjoy the Ultimates stuff, but have read very little of it.

Surely everybody has learnt by now the only way to do this kind of stuff is hire Joss sit back and wait for the magic to happen. Not this disjointed bilge.
I doubt you can blame Marvel since they didn't write, direct or produce it. It's just a Marvel film by nature of the copyright. I can find little evidence Marvel had anything to do with these films :P Surely everybody has learnt by now the only way to do this kind of stuff is hire Joss sit back and wait for the magic to happen.

I thought it was obvious. Surely everybody has learnt by now the only way to do this kind of stuff is hire Joss sit back and wait for the magic to happen. Not this disjointed bilge.That film has just rewritten the entire timeline (if they want to).
They will keep stuff they want, and get go off in new directions with others.
I mean there is no way that don't have Wolverine and Stryker getting together so he gets his adamantium skeleton.

It's not. It's Fox who hold the film rights and, so long as they bang one out every few years, the film rights don't revert to Marvel.See Den of Geek - Is X-Men immune to the reboot cycle?

The greed of Fox (and Sony) might result in continual renewals of these characters, churning them out into meaningless films and keeping them from the real Marvel universe going on around the Avengers.See Den of Geek - Is X-Men immune to the reboot cycle?

One other point of note :
Why did Magneto lift up the football stadium? What purpose did it serve? Was is just to make the film look good or was it something lifted from the comic book to satisfy the anoraks?
From what it allowed him t barricade himself in a confiend area with the president and Trask etc... stop army getting in, err... it came ready made with (disconnected) TV cameras to catch it all for the public to see...err...Why did Magneto lift up the football stadium?

no...thats the best I can do
I loved the film, lots of acting in it for a change.
I did struggle a smidge with the armies of 4-12 year olds being brought in by their parents to hear Xavier swear nice and slowly...so there it is ...I'm old.
Possible plot device for the next film that I was thinking: in the newly established timeline, Wolverine has never teamed with with Stryker, so has no adamantium in his skeleton. Perhaps Apocalypse will provide that as part of converting him into one of his four horseman. It's pretty inevitable that one or more X Men will be snaffled by Apocalypse, and he is the prime candidate.

I was wondering how they were going to sort that out until the end.For those confused about the re-writing of events I thought that was really clear. Blatantly obvious and stated in dialogue inside the first 15 minutes. Much of what happens after the 70s was going to be changed thus the present day (for the movie) would be significantly different.
I was surprised that they resurrected certain characters at the end but they're all cool.
Overall though the wife and I found the movie a little slow in parts and obvious in others. Much of the humour from the comics was missing.
All thoroughly made up for by Mystique imho.
I really did enjoy the film, but couldn't help but think there were two production companies at work; one wielding the usual 24FPS camera, and another with the new 48's...
Some of the effects really were breath taking (coming from a SFX nerd who's become utterly bored of CG) but others were... just a bit st.
That said, the script was great fun (I'm not going to think about the time travel elements too hard / at all)
