X-Men: First Class

I saw this movie last night, it was good. I missed the last installment about Wolverine, but it didn't seem to matter for this story line.

I'm not a hard core X-Men fan, and have never read the comics. Some parts of the previous movies went right over my head, as it did in this one. For me, there were too many characters to keep track of, and I didn't really know any of them except the main couple. I suspect the folks who read the comic books and have a history with X-Men will like this movie. Despite my lack of X-Men knowledge, I enjoyed it. I was just confused a few times.

It was pretty good, probably better than Green Lantern.
I thought it was cool they had Havok in there, he's a pretty explosive character.
There was no Wolverine installment at the end, after the credits if that is what you mean. He did have a cameo part when Prof.X and Magneto were on their recruiting run. Wolverine told them to go F themselves. If the timeline of the other Wolverine movie was accounted for than he would of had no adamantium at this time.
I didn't see all of the creators involved, but it looked like it had a lot of Alex Ross' influence.

Not really, I was meaning that you didn't have to see the Wolverine movie to be able to follow along with what happened in this one.

I thought the Wolverine scene was going to lead to something cool, so I was disappointed when they just turned around and walked away.

It was like they were scared or something. lol
It was fitting though, if Wolverine was in it he would of stole the show.
