Oh yeah; J. Whedon is in a lot of trouble
Just came back from seeing it and it was awesome 
I liked it, but I thought its climax was a bit lacking. It really needed a Professor X speech to counter the Brotherhood of Mutants speech.
^ It had Xavier monologues throughout... :/

Magneto addressed the world and declared war. There was no real counterbalancing "we should all live together message". There were a lot of rich character moments between Xavier and Mystique that verged on that, but there was no message to humanity as a whole. That was missing from the movie.
Excellent movie! Would say it is easily one of the best Marvel movies up to date! Though a few questions were left unanswered and bothered me quite a bit...

Haven't seen the movie yet,
But, Post-Credits scene of X3.
He transferred his mind to a comatose body when he died.

There is an after the credits scene in X-Men the Last Stand that vaguely answers your first question ( well it tells us he is alive, I can't remember if it explains why ).
In X3 an earlier scene the body was shown in a classroom scene, and Xavier mentioned it might be possible to transfer consciousness into it since it's basically a blank slate.
X3 post credit? I must have missed that one with Xavier. I only recall there being Magneto still having his powers, but didn't know there was another one with Xavier. Good to know.
Yeah, Mystique getting his body was an obvious nod at next Xmen movie, but felt a bit out of place having Mystique acquire the body. Though guess it will be explained later on.
It's most likely the case Bryan Singer missed that part, yeah. Bit sloppy but I can get over it. That future doesn't exist after all.
^ OF COURSE the filmmakers didn't "miss" it. The adamantium claws and Raven helping Logan escape Stryker will certainly be explained or at least some exposition will be provided in the next flick. As I said before, this leaves only ONE urgent question in my mind-- WHO can be a convincing Apocalypse?!?
Release speculations!!
@InExile: the mercy showed by Raven WAS the message

But that made no sense. Her message was "Mutants are unstoppable, but we'll allow you to exist on a whim".
So Captain America 2014 and X-Men 2014. Great movies to add to must watch list.

They're great comic book movie, rather than just great movies based on comic books (unlike the Dark Knight).
I love Chris Nolan as much anyone, but can we PLEASE collectively get over "the Dark Knight"?! It was damn good, but far from perfect.

It's a useful benchmark, though, because his Batman isn't really the comic book Batman. The movie ended up being good, but it wasn't really a comic book movie. Days of Future Past was a comic book movie that was well-done.
Will be seeing it soon, can't wait for it. I've heard nothing but positive reviews which is good. Loved X-man 1,2 and first class.

No one said it was perfect, but it's still a great movie

The best thing about "the Wolverine" is that it's a Samurai film first, and a comic-book/superhero movie second. Yes some of the fight scenes are a little cheesy. Yes the Viper is slightly operatic and her robo-pollywogs' abilities were too effective. Yes the Japanese stereotypes were everywhere.
However, these didn't detract from the narrative for me. This film is all about Logan becoming a leader and using his regret and pain to give him strength, which is something most of us (who have lived long enough) can relate to. The character will HOPEFULLY be called upon in a leadership role again in "X-men: Apocalypse", perhaps even forming his own team of young mutants...?
@Galactic: It has been confirmed that the original cast (Stewart, McKellan, Berry, Janssen, Marsden) is done. The next film; X-men: Apocalypse will star the 1st class actors. I.e. Fassbender, MacAvoy and unfortunately Jen Lawrence.
Here's hoping Logan & Quicksilver will join them
