I have to say that I agree with you. The characters of X-Men have so much depth and so much history as to what makes them who they are as characters comic fans enjoy today....how does a 90 minute or more movie cover all of that history without being "preachy", wordy, or whatever? Is it possible? Yes. Difficult to achieve? You bet. Sometimes we just need to ratchet up our suspension of disbelief and just enjoy a films like this. It is what it is.
