The movie is based on the comic, which is probably one of the most important comics for X-men or Marvel. In the comic, Kitty does send her mind into the past and Mystique is connected to an assassination attempt.

This was easily the best movie, and most successful, movie of the X-men franchise. And it fixes all the problems from X-men: The Last Stand.

Bishop is a time-traveller in the comics, coming from a future much like the one in the movie. But, we don’t know much about his situation in the movie. Still, it’s cool he was in the movie.

Yes, Quicksilver is Magneto’s son. But, things are always complicated in the comics.

The ending with Mystique doesn’t make a bunch of sense, especially if you watch the next movies.

There is a “Rogue cut” that has lots of interesting changes to the original.

The end credit scene is so cool!

Apparently, Bryan Singer was not easy to work with.

Some cool trivia from IMDB about this movie…

“Sir Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellen had make-up applied to look twenty years older than their actual ages.”

“For her role as Mystique, Jennifer Lawrence had worn full-body prosthetics in X-Men: First Class (2011), consisting of appliances that were glued onto her body. However, not only were these uncomfortable, she also became unwell from inhaling particles coming from these appliances, and the make-up department couldn't guarantee that these weren't bad for her health. For this sequel, Lawrence would only return if they found a way around this, so a special bodysuit was created for her that was safer and much easier to put on.”

“When Matthew Vaughn was going to direct, he was going to make this movie a direct sequel to X-Men: First Class (2011), and have it set in the 1970s. Early ideas included an opening with the Kennedy assassination being caused by Magneto, and mutant encounters set during the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War. When Singer took over, he integrated these concepts into a viral marketing campaign to set up the action of the movie.”
