Not bad.
The "future" characters got a couple of moments, though I would have definitely liked to have seen more. Blink's power was one of the coolest SFX in the show. There were some nice fan nods, too. Storm's run-in with the Sentinels, for one.
The biggest shift from the books is, of course, that it's supposed to be Kitty Pryde going back in time, but she's replaced here by Wolverine for obvious marketing-type reasons.
I preferred Beast's make-up when it was done for Kelsey Grammer, but it works okay.
This was definitely a reset / reboot rather than a sequel. Some of the damage done by X3 gets happily wiped away. (I'm still not sure why Scott's little brother Havoc's shown as a military-aged guy in 1973, though.)
The after-credit's scene is literally after ALL the credits, but it's worth it for comic fans. (Highlight for spoiler)
Up next: THE AGE OF APOCALYPSE!!!
