Well like I said I usually have no problem with all sorts of fantastic "comic book tech" as long as they spend at least a couple of seconds setting the scene for it. I'm obviously just going on what we all saw in this one glimpse of a movie trailer.
If they either explain that Magneto is hovering a normal SR-71 or this plane we saw is actually some super-secret fictional VTOL "SR-77" then I'm sure it'll be fine for the movie. I basically just don't like it when "normal tech" is shown to do things that can't happen in real life, like when standard handguns seem to be able to fire several thousand bullets on screen without being reloaded.

Not at all - after reading all the negative stuff about the film online, I was really pleased this looked so much better than I feared. Will definitely see it at the cinema.|

Of the 3 Marvel films that are all coming out soon, it might be the bottom of the 3, but I think it will be enjoyable

I don't think it looks bad. The effects looked respectable to good, and the trailer made it look pretty exciting. (though that never guarantees quality) I also liked the use of the blue and yellow outfits. I've just checked out on the franchise. I can't bring myself to care about the comics whether they be good or bad. Which is vaguely upsetting seeing what a big X-Men fan I was. |
Fixed that for Me.
I'll be seeing it. Looks like it'll be a fun, mindless movie. Something to see with my fun, mindless friends.

I realize this movie will probably crap all over the X-men "canon" once again, but fortunately I was never a serious reader of the comics so there's hope that this will simply be an entertaining "prequel" for me. Time will tell of course.
from the wiki
When the X-Men were first introduced, they were portrayed as travelling in Professor Xavier's private jet and helicopter, advanced but fairly conventional aircraft with remote autopilots (i.e., the Professor flew them from home). When the series resumed in 1975, the X-Men were shown using a new strato-Jet that was visually based on a modified, scaled-up version of the Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" spy plane (hence the name), but was modified to carry several passengers, as well as for Vertical Take-Off and Landing (VTOL). Some writers have referred to this design as the "SR-73" or the "SR-77", and is known to be canon in most plotlines of the Marvel Universe, including X-Men: Evolution, where it is referenced by Scott as the SR-77 in the first episode. The original X-Men Blackbird has been destroyed and rebuilt numerous times in the course of the team's many adventures. The later versions incorporated technology created by the mutant inventor Forge, as well as alien (Shi'ar) technology, including weapon systems, holographic active camouflage, and engines capable of hypersonic speeds. One version of the Blackbird possessed an experimental cockpit windshield that was infused with traces of the same ruby quartz material used in Cyclops' visor, allowing him to project and amplify his optic blasts through the windshield.[1]
In other words, the thing makes the real one look like a Hot Wheels model.
