Best part of the movie was the segments involving Peter Maximoff (mutant name in the comics is Quicksilver but that was not mentioned in the movie). He was extremely entertaining and I wish he had more of a role in the film.

I too enjoyed seeing what happened to Charles Xavier after Cuba.

One thing that bothered me were the breaks in timeline. For example, in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Wolverine serves in a mutant regiment with Major William Styker. Stryker already has a taste for experimenting on mutants (per the comic books he justified this based on his religious beliefs). In this movie Stryker serves as Boliver Trasks's right hand man, and the insinuation is that Trask first educates Stryker on mutant affairs (we know from the prior movies that the origins of Stryker's interest/hatred of mutants manifests from his own mutant son.

Yeah, Quicksilver was pretty cool.


I wonder if we need a timeline for Wolverine's involvement. Was Wolverine's involvement with Stryker "after" some events ... i.e., did Stryker start his task force post seeing Wolverine early on? IDK....time travel... and different comic book rewrites of origin stories make some stuff complicated.
