Well Kat and I went to see this yesterday. I must admit it was an awesome movie. I won't give too much away but it does show why they started the earlier X-men First Class and prequels.
I only found 1 flaw in this movie and it was the appearance of Patrick Steward as Xavier in the war torn future, which if everyone remembers was killed in X-men 3: Last Stand. The earlier X-Men movies to my knowledge are still canon and part of the franchise.
I am looking forward to X-men Apocalypse that is due out in 2016 and is suppose to have Gambit who is rumoured/confirmed to be played by Channing Tatum instead of the earlier Taylor Kitsch who played a younger version in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
If anyone is going to see the movie, don't forget to wait for the end credits, Kat and I missed that, but were able to watch the clip on youtube. It features Apocalypse one of the villains from the comic books.
Some info about it:
I really liked how they used this movie to fix the mistakes done by the pre-Marvel Entertainment companies, essentially erasing X-men 2 and 3 while also keeping them as canon.

With the changes in the timeline it makes wonder what X-men Apocalypse will be like. Will it be set in the 70's-80's with the First Class team, or will it be set in the future with Xavier's school, Wolverine etc. Or will it have flash backs to the earlier team but mainly be set in the future original cast era. They have left a lot open here and have many ways to go.

Who is Apocalypse?
The Marvel Comics Database reveals that his given name, En Sabah Nur, translates as "The First One," suggesting that Apocalypse might be the first mutant in existence. He was born with grey skin and blue traces around his features, and had powerful gifts from the time of his birth. Apocalypse’s various powers include flight, invulnerability, superhuman strength, teleportation, telekinesis … basically, he’s invincible. His roots trace back to ancient Egypt (hence, the setting of the Days of Future Past clip), and his difficult lifespan included bouts of enslavement, and fierce battles for power. Along the way, he created his Four Horsemen – Pestilence, Famine, War and Death – who were seen in silhouette in the X-Men: Days of Future tease. So while we don’t know how deep into Apocalypse’s rich history the movie will plunge, as there are countless volumes of X-Men comics on which the film can draw (literally, at one point, Apocalypse fights and kills Dracula in the X-Men books), we assume that the evil mutant’s plan to conquer and enslave unworthy mutants will be part of the villain’s on-screen motivations.
Just introducing Apocalypse into this world opens them doors to so many new possibilities – from Cable or X-Factor to the Alliance of Evil – that our heads are swimming with X-Men ideas that easily could keep Fox in business for the next 10 years.
