My overall opinion: This was my very first introduction and going into it, I had absolutely no idea what X-Men was/were/are or what this movie was about. However, having seen this, I was eager to continue watching X-Men movies, and have continued steadily. :) Any Hugh Jackman fans out there? Yeah, thought there might a few. Well, you’ve gotta see this one! It’s amazing. There’s a little violence in a few places, and especially one of the opening scenes was…not nice. I didn’t like it. But for the most part, this was an enjoyable movie, especially the last half hour or so. And Wolverine has a really cool superpower. I've been flexing my fists for days...no blades yet. So it goes. Anyway. Great graphics, fast-paced storyline…kept me riveted.

Hahahahaha! I clench my hands and flex my forearms and wish for claws allll the time. Wolverine is my absolute favorite superhero, and I really love this movie. Not everyone does, and I'm not sure why.
Just so you know, the chronological order of the X-men movies' events is this:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine set from 1800s to 1980s (2009)
X-Men: First Class set in the 1960s (2011)
X-Men set in "the not-too-distant future" (2000)
X2 (2003)
X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)
The Wolverine set a while after the events in The Last Stand (2013)
Hamlette! I'm not the only one! Yay! :) It was a great movie for sure. And thanks for laying out all the X-Men movies so clearly...very helpful!
