And I've heard the last movie and First Class and even the last Wolverine movie were more in the right direction but I grew up reading X-Men. Three horrid, laughable movies and I vowed never to watch another one until a decent studio was doing them.

So, since i'm out on the cinematic versions, can someone explain why the X-Men are fighting the evil genie from the Wishmaster movies?

You really should give the series a second chance.  X3 and Wolverine Origins were some of the most disappointing movies that I've ever seen, but since then, the series has really went off in a positive direction.

Like you, I grew up reading comics, mostly Marvel, and my favorite ones were the X-Men related ones.  They certainly could have done better with the series, but really, I'm just happy with seeing my favorite characters brought to life on the big screen.  I'm not happy when the movie becomes an X3 style abortion, but I can handle a slip up here and there.
