X-Men: First Class

[Phillip]

Very good.

Not quite on par with The Dark Knight or Batman Begins, which IMO are the two best "superhero" movies, but out of all the superhero movies, I'd say its right behind those two, alongside X2 and Spiderman 2.

I thought this one was actually memorable, don't remember much from old ones although its been awhile.

Girl from Bridemaids and Get Him to the Greek is Rose Byrne. I thought she was a mutant from the trailer but she plays a CIA agent who ends up helping the mutants. She's a good actress but I thought she was a bit underused and apparently her character in the comics is suppose to be a Scottish genetics expert.

McAvoy is actually in his 30s already but yeah, looking forward to seeing him and Fassbender in the future.

This movie was great. It had two great cameos, great acting and great action.

January Jones should have had the ability to turn to wood instead of diamond to match her acting ability.

Very very good. Way better than I imagined. Once again the previews deceived me.

They did a bad ass job exploring the whole Professor X/Magneto dichotomy of opinion.

My only scoff is that the only black guy in the entire movie was a mutant and was pretty much the only guy they showed that died on screen. I found that especially lame seeing as how this was a movie about segregation and prejudice.

The actor that played Magneto totally stole the show. I had no idea he'd put up such a bad ass performance. A+ for that actor. If only they could make movies like this rated R, and showed more vulgar violence when he was acing people...but it was still pretty tight.

Best of the X-Men films. I think this will hold up well even after multiple viewings on blu-ray. Fassbender was excellent as Magneto; Kevin Bacon made a convincing villain; and January Jones was hot as Emma Frost. There will definitely be a sequel but I'm not sure how you can top the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I hate that I haven't had a chance to see this yet.

"Go yourself"

"Go yourself"

I wondering if he might make an appearance or not.

[Spurtacus]

"Go yourself"

Best cameo ever.

XMen watchers,

If one was gonna watch the XMen movies in the order of the development of the XMen, from start to present, which order should it be?

First Class (duh) would obviously be the 1st one.
What's the rest of the order?

[redzero]

Origins > Wolverine > 1 > 2 > 3

[Cant_Be_Faded]

No way Wolverine ing blew goats.

Origins > 2 > 3 > 1 > Wolverine

3 would have been the best hands down, had they made Magneto's usage of Jean Grey more believable and not outright re ed. Also Magneto could have flung the bridge at alcatraz and destroyed that kid but choose to sit there and let his whole team get destroyed. Plus the way they portrayed Juggernaut was ing stupid. They wasted one of the most dominant forces in X-Men lore, and relegated him to being a mutant.



The Wolverine cameo was pretty funny in origins. It got some cheers from the crowd.

[ManuBalboa]

Awesome movie. Awesome cameo from the greatest mutant of all time as well.

**********MINOR SPOILER***************















I nearly groaned aloud when they mentioned slavery and immiedetly you get a shot of Darwin.

***spoiler reply****

























ROFLROFL
Then his death is easily the most graphic and painful in the entire movie
The whole black guy dies first always rule is getting ridiculous, but in this movie it was even more gratuitous.

I was responding to Fabbs, not listing my preferences.
