Even so, the guy who played Colossus could have faked a Russian accent and WTF was up with Halle Berry's Storm and Cyclops and Jean being in their mid 30s but iceman being 14???
I know for some of the other Marvel movies they've drawn a lot of inspiration from the Ultimates, I'm wondering if that's where some of the age difference came from. I haven't seen a lot of the Ultimate X-Men comics though so I don't remember if that's more similar.

I think they've learned from their mistakes though as far as the other Marvel/DC movies are concerned.
