We didn't get to see this in the theater. But, hubby beloved enabler saw that it was out on shelves and mentioned it to me when we did a WallyWorld run recently. So I asked for it. We got it home and watched it. And I like this one much, much better than Singer's run at it... which, quite frankly, made Jean seem like she'd gone off the rails from a deep seated mental issue rather than possession by an alien entity. Granted, Singer was going the whole "more based in reality" thing, so there is that.
I like Singer's original trilogy. But I also have no problem with the "First Class" timeline either (and, that is because the actors do justice to their roles). The "FC" timeline manages to stick close to the original storylines from the comics and the original animated series without making every thing look cringing and cheesy. Personally think the "FC" timeline could simply be folded into the MCU and just not worry about retconning anything. Just don't use the original group of mutants.
One Easter egg that I caught during the movie. The train scene where Lensherr, Xavier, Storm, Cyclops, Beast and Jean were captured and being transported. A shoulder patch on the soldiers identified them as being from the Mutant Containment Unit. So they had a big ole MCU on their shoulder.
