I did like seeing Kevin Bacon, he obviously had a LOT of fun with the part.
Yes I just saw it, and Tale's right. Although, if they really wanted to they could ignore the previous movies with this and make this the first in new franchise (like what they've done with the previous Hulk movies) . It is nice that they gave a few little shout outs to the future (a rather hilarious Wolverine one, and a snapshot of Storm), but they didn't tie themselves TO tightly to it (Unlike Origins "Reverse aged to an egg face" Patrick Stewart)
