Watched the movie last night. Was free. Quality wasn't good.
But got the gist of the story.
The wikipedia entry has all the spoilers.
It's an OK watch, I guess. Prof X got atomised, Wolverine and Storm got their time in the limelight. Nightcrawler was cut cos his role just wasn't worth the make-up time.
And that's the end of the X trilogy.
But at least the movie got me in the mood for X-Men stories again. I last left off somewhere around House of M, where the Scarlet Witch (Magneto's daughter) was so distraught with grief that she's losing it, and was recreating reality. Eventually, she overcame Xavier's attempts to block it, and recreated the Marvel universe.
Into a world where H.Sapiens are the second class citizens. And millions of mutants have lost their powers, leaving only a few hundred, who has taken over important roles in government. Magneto lost his powers. Xavier is missing. Wolverine remembers his past. And Peter Parker is successful, until his secret was outed, that he did not come to his powers through evolution.
Right now, I'm 'getting' Deadly Genesis. Xavier will finally be found. And Scott fights his brother. Again. It suddenly appears that Scott has a SECOND brother, that's even more of an ass than the last one. Having Xavier as a powerful telepath is a convenient Deus Ex Machina. Whenever convenient, the writers can just re-write history, and make something happen differently, but Xavier had mind-wiped the events to protect the characters. Thus, explaining how they could just manufacture Scott's other brother out of thin air.
