X-men First Class
Because there just aren't enough superhero movies...

Re: X-men First Class
Is this a movie or a series on the CW?
Looks like shit. |
Re: X-men First Class
Is it a fanmade trailer?

Matthew Vaughn, the film's director, on the full cast image:

Re: X-men First Class
The new photos make me feel a lot better about this, but the one with magneto's helmet? Ugh.
The biggest problem is that Fox is behind the project. They've found a way to fuck up anything X-Men since Singer left. I like Vaughn as a director, but I have no confidence in the suits that will be making the final decisions. Marvel should be in control of this. |

Re: X-men First Class
Awwww, little Mystique.

Re: X-men First Class
Aren't you afraid that the story will be terrible? I hope it won't, because I like action hero movies...

Re: X-men First Class
Oh gawd, I've never had so much crow served at once.
The movie was so damn good. Perhaps my favorite X-men movie ever. And that's saying a lot since X-2 is in top 3 comic book movies for me. WOW |
Re: X-men First Class
So it's looking like this movie has exceeded all expectations.
I'm going to go watch it Sunday, for sure. |
Re: X-men First Class
I went and saw it a day earlier than planned.
Sweet crap this movie is good. Acting is spot on perfect, especially Michael Fassbender. Kevin Bacon and James McAvoy were really good as well. The ending was probably the most satisfying and well done of any that I have seen in a long while. The lengths that they went to to make it fit in with both the universe and the other movies was so well done too. Favorite scene was the entire sequence in the bar in Argentina. Close second is the Wolverine cameo. edit: Actually, one thing I didn't like: Where was the Stan Lee cameo?! |
Re: X-men First Class
It was good...better than X1 and X3 and Wolverine...
Maybe it is because it is the umpteenth comic movie I have seen, but I felt it was a little underwhelming. Now I feel like Magneto deserved a proper fleshing out, and this movie delivered on all fronts. So I would recommend this for the Magneto back story alone. I liked it a lot, and I would even enjoy a proper sequel or further exploration of the young X-Men universe. But still, a bit underwhelming for me. I guess it did defy all expectations though, since the movie looked like shit since it was green lighted and it turned out to be a 2 thumbs up film. |
Re: X-men First Class
It was quite good. That training montage made me wish this was actually a television series. Wanted more of that. I really like how they easily explained, and hinted with a wink and a nod, number of things like Beast being blue, Xavier losing the use of his legs, his future baldness, Magneto's helmet, the codenames, cerebro, the blackbird, Mystique's aging, etc. And there's something about Mystique and Xavier growing up together that I just really liked.

Re: X-men First Class
The only thing that bothered me about the movie is the lack of Professor X having a stepbrother. AKA The Juggernaut bitch. :(
Interested to see if they still add him later. |

Re: X-men First Class
I liked this Movie the whole concept of showing X-Men from the beginning
|
Re: X-men First Class
I finally got around seeing this. W.o.a.h. Amazing.
|
Re: X-men First Class
I thought this movie was on the verge of being truly great, but never quite got there. Still one o the best comic movies ever made, but not up to the level of Spiderman 2 or The Dark Knight. I view this more along the lines of Batman Begins.
|
Re: X-men First Class
You're saying Spiderman 2 was better than Batman Begins? :ohreilly:

Don't get me wrong, Batman Begins is a great movie, but for me it's third best. |
Re: X-men First Class
That's funny. In my opinion:
Spider-Man 1 > 2 Batman Begins >>> The Dark Knight X-Men 1 > X-Men 2 What can I say? I like openings better than sequels? Oh 1 thing I didn't like about First Class was Kevin Bacon. I know he has his own game and all... but his character was a bit annoying and silly. |
Re: X-men First Class
Batman > Spider-Man > X-Men > Spider-Man 2 > X2 > Batman Returns > Batman Forever > The Dark Knight > X3 > Spider-man 3 > Wolverine Origins > Batman & Robin > Batman Begins > Catwoman

Re: X-men First Class
Spider-Man 2 is pretty amazing, I just wish the CGI held up a little better.
Maybe it's too early to make this observation, but The Dark Knight isn't loaded with CGI so it seems like the action holds up much better. In fact, I've argued this many times: the reason that Nolan's Batman movies are so good is because he finds clever ways to NOT SHOW comic action, which makes the movie avoid bad CGI and campy fighting scenes. I think Sin City is my top pick for best most-comic-book inspired comic movie. |
Re: X-men First Class
I suppose I rate comic movies by standards. Keep in mind, I consider all of these movies to be good:
Gold The Dark Knight, Spiderman 2 Silver Batman, Batman Begins, X-Men 2, Superman 2 (original), X-Men First Class, American Splendor Bronze X-Men, Superman, Spiderman, Iron Man, The Rocketeer (yes, I think it is underrated), Road to Perdition, Sin City, Hellboy, Hellboy 2, Watchmen, 300, A History of Violence. Note: I have not seen Captain America or Thor. I thought Kick-Ass was idiotic. |
