X-Men: First Class

Oh, there IS a Wolverine cameo, but for those of you who hate him, you'll probably like how it goes.

Does he get bitch-made like in the other three films?

No, he basically tells Professor X and Magneto to fuck off.

Best part of the movie in my opinion.

[AppleQueso]

That, and I haven't seen a comic book movie since the atrocity that was X-Men 3, and I intend to keep it that way.

Good thing since all superhero moves are written and directed by the same person, right?

(Okay so other than maybe The Dark Knight I don't think there's any superhero movies from the past several years that are actually must-see)

Honk Honk!

Spoiler Goose!

I really want to see this movie... I hope it doesn't disappoint.

TBH, though, my expectations aren't ever high for movies like this.

[Xeogred]

I'm gonna be honest and say I was pretty damn impressed actually! And boy did I hate Thor and the Marvel films have been really throwing off my interest over and over again, but this... damn, I was not expecting this to be that good. Pretty legit in my book.

I agree with everyone about Emma though, she was terrible..

I hated Thor as well =/

I basically felt like this movie made Thor look like a sci-fi original.

[Ack]

I basically felt like this movie made Thor look like a sci-fi original.

Ouch. Have you watched Man-Thing, the actual Marvel Sci-Fi original?

Just watched the trailer... think I'm gonna have nightmares tonight.

January Jones was pretty dull as Emma Frost, and she's pretty much expressionless the entire film

Would you say she was...frigid?

I can't stand January Jones. While I dislike "Betty" from Mad Men, I think Jones is a terrible actress. Before this, I would have said that's just her character, but really, she has no human qualities about her.

...which admittedly wasn't so terrible considering I was rarely looking at her face...

The movie felt a little uneven to me. I thought the early stuff with Erik/Magneto was well-done, but, as others mentioned, the "training montage" was cheesy (was it supposed to be? it certainly felt like a throwback to 80s/90s training montages). It did deliver on the action, especially at the end with Magneto taking full force. Easily my favorite part of the latter half. That guy has power!
