I watched the movie this Tuesday, and it was definitely a great and a thrilling movie. Too bad I was somewhat ill that day, which reduced some of the enjoyment. :/ I'd probably have to watch the movie again to make sure (SPOILER)the time travelling doesn't leave any major plot holes. For example, isn't it a time paradox that the bleak future was erased? Now Wolverine no longer needs to go to the past to save the future, so he never went there etc. Also, when Wolverine returned to his own body in the 2020's, did the character and memories of the "altered timeline Wolverine" get erased completely, as Wolverine had no idea what had happened after the future had changed? Finally, what happened to Stryker? Mystique was disguised as him, and Wolverine was given to her. The Alkali Lake events caused by Stryker had also been erased since Jean was alive in the end. Too bad Rogue was taken out of the movie (SPOILER)except for one brief cameo in the end. I heard there are several deleted scenes with her. Hopefully those scenes will be included in the DVD bonus materials. Oh, and (SPOILER)Quicksilver owned.

It was good and entertaining, but not as good as X2, First Class, or even X1 in my opinion.

I didn't see anyone answer this, so: (SPOILER)IIRC, the post-credit scene of X3 involves seeing Moira MacTaggert talking to what is presumably Xavier covered in bandages.
I also liked the retcon part. (SPOILER)Technically X2 was also taken out of existence since Jean was alive in the end.

As for (SPOILER)Xavier being alive in DoFP, it was somewhat explained in X3, but not accurately. When Phoenix erased Xavier's body, he moved his mind inside the body of a comatose patient. There's a post-credit scene in X3 where the comatose patient awakens, and Moira realizes that it's actually Xavier. However, there was no explanation given to how Xavier got his own body back.
