I know you can't really do the DoFP story line without certain characters but dangit! I Loved XMFC because it was a bit of a change from the other X Men flicks. I was very excited about XFC2 but with all the additions of the X Men movies.. My hopes are fading and it's just eye rolling now. I really am over the wolverine, rogue, iceman blblblb..I've had a couple of those movies already, thanks. I am, however, still excited about the old/young versions of Prof. X and Magneto with the respecting actors. That will be fun. Anyway, I wish they would've kept on with the direction that XMFC had started with. I do realize though that with this movie title, you basically have to have those other characters. Guess we'll see how this pans out. :/
