I love that we finally saw one of the "New Mutants" on-screen. I've always felt that they could make a good movie (or TV show set in the X-movie universe) about that team.
For the record, however, there was a character named Danielle Moonstar in X2, but she didn't have any lines, was never referred to by name, and we never saw any indication of her powers, so I don't count it.

Warpath and Sunspot were both New Mutants, so technically we had two. 
So, was Quicksilver's Steampunk proto-Walkman set on super-speed playback so he could rock out to Time in a Bottle while he's doing his speedy thing, or does he project a localized forcefield that adjusts the temporal thingamajiggie around himself (literally time in a bottle) and what he's wearing which is also why the rubber on his shoes doesn't melt? I believe the localized field idea has been used in the comics.

What about Blink (Clarice Ferguson, played by Fan Bing Bing)? Is she one of the New Mutants, too? I only remember her from reading Exiles, a group of mutants traveling through parallel Marvel universes.
^Blink actually was actually a member of the NM towards the end of the most recent run of the book (post-Schism), but was never a member of the team in the original run.
I saw it yesterday. Instead of reading over 350 posts, I'll just speak my mind, probably repeating what was already said. It was pretty good but I noticed some discontinuity. Namely Shadowcat's evolution (which I read about prior to watching the movie), Professor X's return (which was explained in a commentary), and how Wolverine got his adamantium in his claws back, all which weren't explained in the movie. I was going to mention Nightcrawler's parentage but Azazel could still be his father and Mystique had a kid in her downtime or Nightcrawler may have different parents.
Beyond those small things, it was a fine movie, circling the series together.

Striker, you say?
I think they are referring to how future Logan lost his Metal claws in Japan. That seems a non issue to me as well though. Magneto. Plus there are various mutants who can control heat to help metal it down.
Wolverine had his adamantium claws back in the future before Kitty sent him back to change the timeline. He lost them when Silver Samurai cut his claws off in The Wolverine, and they grew back as bone claws again.
I just figured that since they have Magneto on their side now in the future and Sunpot to heat it up they just bonded new adamantium to Wolverine's bone claws.
Speaking of Sunspot and Warpath, Fox has already announced that they're developing an X-Force film, so I wonder if those two were included in DoFP as a sort of soft tie-in to that future movie.Warpath and Sunspot were both New Mutants, so technically we had two.
^ That was announced a while ago tbf, before they announced Apocalypse. Are they still doing an X-Force? Haven't heard anything on it for aaages
Saw this again today btw, still awesome. I tried to spot any reference to Mystique's "baby" (as someone on IMDb seems to think there is), all there is is the nurse asking her "I wonder if she has a family?" to which Mystique replies "She does."
I figured that was more of a reference to Xavier and co, her old "family", rather than a vague reference to Nightcrawler.
As I said first time, man are those future X-Men fights intense and brutal. Warpath having his face pushed into the Sentinel's energy beam, nasty.
Also I'd forgotten my favourite part- after Magneto goes crazy shouting at Charles on the plane and it levels out. There's a beat till Wolverine says "Are you gonna pick all this shit up?"

I saw the film again yesterday and noticed a few things:
A possibly unintentional reference to Wanted when Magneto guides the bullet at Raven after passing by James McAvoy.
At the beginning of the film, we see the X-Jet fly over the Great Wall of China, where Sentinels are standing watch, and yet somehow don't see or hear the jet.
I'm greatly amused how Trask goes out of his way to point out to the Congress oversight committee that homo sapiens is us. May have been intended for the audience (which is kind of sad, in itself), but I like how it was directed at Congress, considering some of the nutters we have in there right now.
After Raven crashes out of the window in Paris, people are clearly alarmed by her blue appearance and even more so when she mimics the appearance of a bystander. When Erik comes swooping down from the window and intangibly draws Raven back towards him, no one seems to be terrified by what they're seeing because they don't know what's going on. Yet, they finally freak out and start running away when Hank shows up in full-blown blue Beast mode. An interesting contrast between unperceived and understood threat.
I'm not sure how I haven't heard "Time in a Bottle" before (it's vaguely familiar) but it's a great choice for the Quicksilver sequence (and love that Quicksilver wore a Dark Side of the Moon t-shirt). So is "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," another song I'm somehow unfamiliar with until now. And while I managed not to figure out "The Naked Time" was the episode featured in the background, I somehow picked up Sanford and Son just from the first few frames shown (before the title card was shown later), despite never really watching the show.
Lastly, I noticed that a scene from the third trailer is absent from the film, a scene which may help explain why Raven rescued Logan from the river (or least how she even knows who he is). In the trailer, Raven is sitting down in her human form and says "Why?," followed by Logan (standing) "You're a cold-hearted bitch," to which she replies "Well, don't hold back." More than anything else, I'm wondering where that scene would fit into the film.

Yeah, I was wondering about that as well. Wolverine is wearing the same shirt he had on when they visited Quiksilver in DC, so it could have been around when Mystique was there scouting Trask Industries early in the film before they all leave (separately) for Paris.
Since Charles and Hank aren't with him (and it would undercut her surprise at Charles' appearance and lack of powers in Paris) and their discussion seems to be taking place in a house, the only thing I can think of is that Wolverine found her home on his own at some point because Charles wouldn't use Cerebro yet, but she got away from him and went to Paris. It could also play into her criticism of Charles trying to control her, and her resentment of him, since he may have sent Logan to bring her back without seeing her himself.
Or it could be a scene they filmed early on but later thought better of it and revised the whole sequence of events because they felt it would be better to have them all meet up for the first time in Paris.
Oh, I know that. I was mostly just having fun, it doesn't detract from the movie or anything.
I thought it was way better than FC which I found thoroughly disappointing and a bit of a wasted opportunity. I find Vaughn to be a highly overrated director and was pleased as punch when I heard Singer was coming back.
