Hi, I just saw X men first class and I want to tell everyone that there is a sequence error, because in this film is shown as Charles Xavier remains paralyzed, apparently was as 30 Anios, but in that of x men III, the principle is that erick charles and jean are going to see Gray, and Charles if you can walk there, so I say that there is a sequence error, but it is good movie
