Feel free to draw your own conclusions, but this movie fell far short of my expectations.

Sharp elbows?

Aside from the Kitty Pryde mind travel, my only gripe was the look of En Sabah Nur.

i had to look up who that silly blue bitch was, i was convinced at the time it was an intro to game of thrones season 5.

They may have been showing him as a kid. Remember, he has total molecular manipulation as his power, so he'd be able to control that.

After the movie (and end credit), my theater was completely quiet. I loudly said "If anyone didn't know, that was Apocalypse" and a few people replied with "Ohh..." Then one said that it looked like a chick. I didn't think that. I thought it looked like a thin teenage boy. Before he becomes all apocalyptic or whatever.

Yeah, it was the teenage Apocalypse but he was missing the signature blue lines around his mouth and it was just an uninspired look.

Also, I didn't realize the fire dude was Sunspot until reading more about the movie. His appearance was awesome in the comics so I don't know why they deviated from it.

A young pre-Celestial Apoc is confusing for people I guess.
Also, young boys and girls are confusing too.

I was going to just link a picture but goddamn this shit is complicated.

En Sabah Nur (Evan Sabahnur) (Earth-616) - Marvel Comics Database

I don't know how anyone can be expected to keep any of the mutant story lines straight.

How does Wolverine get his adamantium skeleton in this timeline? That was probably the most confusing thing about the movie. The origins movie is no longer canon (according to Singer) and Magneto mentions something about the metal but what does that entail?

The only implementation was on the plane wasn't it? Swagnus says "too bad they aren't metal" or something regarding his bone claws?
I was confused on the whole stryker = mystique thing at the end of the movie though, that kind of threw me off lol

I guess swagneto will be the one to do it instead? Confusing.

Is the white-haired kid at the beginning and end of the movie Nate Grey/Cable?

Hmm, I don't remember seeing him. Could you explain the scenes?

Also, I guess Wolverine didn't have the Adamantium laced Skeleton in 73. It looks like it happened shortly there after. In the movie, you see the police boat pull Wolverine out of the river (very symbolic of the Weapon X Project), thinking he was dead. But then he moves, so you know he's still alive. Then you see Stryker on the boat as well. I'm sure it happened right after that time frame.

The only thing that doesn't make sense about that, is after first getting sent back in time, he knew all about sleeping with the girl a bunch of times. Yet this was before Weapon X. How would he have remembered that?

But that wasn't stryker on the boat, it was mystique

The opening scene shows a white-haired kid in the post-apocalyptic future unearthing the x-men symbol. The same kid is shown in the hallway after Wolverine wakes up in the new future.

And the Stryker at the end of the movie is actually Mystique in disguise.
