It's interesting to see how surprised most people are about this trailer looking good. There really was no doubt considering who's directing.
I just wonder if Xaiver really will loose his hair in cerebro.

I'm very impressed!,Passed my expectations big time,But so this is officially a prequel to X1-3 right??
How is Angel in this one though when Warren was in his early 20's in X3 and he did not even know about Xavier/Magneto and the X-men......Then Beast is in this when Hank was in human form in the little X2 appearance(unless he can shift back&forth!?)
The next Wolverine movie will ignore Origins,Will this one too??

So, that's who Azazel is? Not up on my X-Men comic book lore.
Still, X2 didn't really say one way or the other about Mystique and Nightcrawler. It was more homage to the fans.
Has Singer decided to give a definite answer in this film?

I like the restrained feeling of this trailer. The action scenes looks cool, but not crazy.

Luis,
Well, the Beast on the TV in X2 is a slight problem but it's also a blink and you'll miss moment as well. It's not something I would completely worry about.

i had my doubts about the movie, but the trailer is good
it doesn't even really seem like an X-Men movie, but more like a great 60s era action/thriller
the guy playing Magneto is badass!
loved the cinematography and music
and as many of you have already said, this can't be worse than X3
Hurm...
02-10-2011, 05:57 PM
I think this film is ultimately it's own take on the X-Men mythos, with a very small following of the first 3 films. I think they only added Singer's X-Men scenes at the beginning of the trailer so that the audience is aware that this is not a reboot. Just a loose prequel.

I'm curious about the whole Azazel/Mystique/Nightcrawler thing now. They are positioning this as a prequel, and yet Mystique shows total indifference to reuniting with Nightcrawler in X2.
Perhapes In film contunity Nightcrawler Is unwanted product of Azarel forcing
himself on Mystique.

Angel - the male,-bird-winged, Warren Worthington version - is not in the film. Never was. Wasn't born at the time if we are taking X3 into account.
We do have a lesser-known, female, insect-winged mutant who is called Angel Salvadore. She is in the film.

Its got the right feel to it.
"Before he was Professor X, he was Charlies,etc..."
Reminded me of when they were dong the first film, and were thinking of not using codenames at all.
I was very skeptical at first too, but liked the info we were getting, the promo pics, Fox seems to be staying out of the damn way and giving thin creative team total control.
It looks pretty good to me, and I hope theyve learned from their mistakes.
Did that Lockheed plane exist back then? Will have to wiki that and look it up.
Answer: Yup, it did.

I will say though, its painfully obvious that magneto will be the "wolverine" of this film....but screw it. the fact that wolverine aint in this film completely makes up for that.

I don't even know how to feel about this movie right now.. part of me is really excited cause it's the X-Men.. and the other part of me just doesn't really want to care because the lore side of me says that everything is just butchered to %&$#. So I'm at 50/50.. I'll see the movie anyways and just take it as it is I guess.

They'll be ok this takes place in the early 1960s, Chris Hansen was just a toddler but then again don't underestimate him.

Not bad. The whole "Before he was Magneto" beginning gives off a romantic movie vibe but the pacing looks way much better than X3. Fassbender has got me sold on this as Magneto if nothing else. I wish this was a reboot instead of a prequel just so we don't have X-3 and Wolverine as part of this universe. (Edit comment)

Eh, I think you can divide the blame a little more then just "Fox screwed up". Yeah, they seriously dragged their heels and made bad decisions, but Singer did decide to totally jump ship to Superman Returns, and he would have done it again if WB hadn't taken steps to completely lock him in to Jack the Giant Killer.

That's not accurate. The ridiculously long negotiations on X3, which there shouldn't have been, is what made Singer jump ship.
Everyone in the industry couldn't understand why Fox hadn't signed Singer to X3 after the profits of X2.
That's why he jumped to Superman Returns. Fox's lack of faith in him, which is totally absurd, is what made him leave the franchise when he never wanted to.

Then you should know that Fox treated Singer like a piece of **** on the first 2 movies, giving him budgets that even at the time were that big, and then they dithered with the X3 contract relentlessly also.
WB come along, give him a $200 million dollar budget and all the freedom in the world and you blame him for leaving? Not to mention he said he'd happily do X3 after SR?
Sorry, but Singer has and always will be blameless to me in that situation. It showed Fox's incompetence at the time they couldnt even get a half decent director to take over.

I love that back shot of Magneto. It makes me look forward to his turn to becoming bad even more. I hope it feels very tragic. I really want to feel the reason why. In a way, we can't help but feel bad for him and understand why he turned, even though it is wrong. Fassbender is capable of this.

It's never that simple. Singer was interested in doing Superman right back around the time X2 was released, there is an interview somewhere where he expresses a keenness to do a Superman movie.
Negotiations over X3 obviously weren't getting anywhere (for whatever reason: money, terms, etc). From the outside, it certainly does look like Fox were slow in locking him in for another X-Men movie, but there's obviously a lot more to it.
This is all pointless though. I can't help but notice you keep going on and on and on about this and keep clinging on to might-have-beens from years and years ago.
All we can hope is that Fox has learned from its mistakes. It next has to learn to allow more time for such big films, in order to prevent them appearing to be 'rushed'.

This actually looks really cool, especially Magneto lifting the submarine, and all the missiles firing.
James McAvoy has the Xavier eyebrows, and I guess there's enough resemblance to accept McAvoy and Fassbender as the younger versions of Stewart and McKellen.

Not to mention he said he'd happily do X3 after SR?
That argument is deeply flawed.
If SR had led to a sequel, or even a trilogy, then he wouldn't have been free to return to the X-Men franchise.
And they did hire Vaughn back then to step in. It was only when Vaughn backed out that things became frantic.
In fairness to Ratner, his work on X3 seems more confident and capable than Gavin Hood's work on Wolverine. For all the things he could have done better, he successfully made that movie under a huge amount of pressure, with very little pre-production time.

put it this way if he goes underwater his body will adapt to it and grow gills
he gets set on fire he becomes fireproof
his power is to adapt to any situation
I think he can regress to previous evolutionary traits. Like if he's underwater, he can grow gills to breathe, and grow claws to climb walls. Stuff like that.
Ah, that sounds pretty cool. Still a bit cheesy but sounds interesting.

Nolan has done Inception and produced the new Superman film in between TDK and TDKR, dont see any reason Singer couldnt do X3 between SR and a possible SR 2.
And they did hire Vaughn back then to step in. It was only when Vaughn backed out that things became frantic.
It was frantic when he signed, they signed him well too late, so he didnt have time to properly make it his, and he didnt have a hands-on producer like he does now with Singer, dont blame him for backing out and never will.

At least X3 was entertaining to me, yes very flawed as film but the action scenes were awsome and it had a good pacing imo,

It's a mix of both. It is trying to stay true to X1 and X2 but Vaughn isn't bending over backwards to continuity and if this movie is a success we will get another trilogy with this cast. I do think this will be in line with X1 and X2 very closely though and X3 and Wolverine will be largely ignored.

I think Hood was just out of his depth. You can sense Ratner is part of the Hollywood movie machine. Hood isn't. And it showed. From what Hood was saying beforehand, he had a grasp on the Wolverine character. But he got swallowed up by the system and lacked the skills and clout to complete such a massive production.

And as I have always said, this is just my personal view on things.
I think the trailer was good but not great. I'm glad that now we finally have a trailer and I'm still cautiously optimistic about this movie.

To see them go through all those historical events, as if mutants are indeed part of the world as we know it, and always have been. Amazing!
I love the dark tones of the cinematography and how the film feels adult and never over the top. First Class is already epic! :woot:

My postion has always been as long as X-Men and X2 remain In contunity for most part(If first class contradicts exactly how Xavier says he and magneto meet In first film or the pressence of human looking beast for brief second on TV IN X2 Is contradicted) than I am fine with pretending Last Stand and Wolverine didn't happen(With both The Wolverine and Deadpool are also doing to Wolverine)
This means we could get Angel In a first class sequel as more than a five minute cameo and Juggernaunt done right.Maybe even Blob In early version on Brotherhood.If there Is a bryan Singer directed post X2 sequel we could even get Gambit
So very little downside to keeping X-Men and X2 and throwing out The Kast Stand and Wolverine.

i think this trailer and The wolverine is an apology for orgins. it makes up for everything that went wrong wth orgins.
we will see how it goes. even though Fox has completely ruined the story of the comics, this looks like a good movie.
they have taken what was in the comics and created something else, but what we have got in the first 3 films and Now First Class is very good.
i'm glad singer is back. i just wish he had been involved in orgins, he could have helped the story!!!
we will see how it goes from here.
its gonna be hard because The Wolverine
this is interesting. First Class ignores continuity of Last Stand? or just orgins or both

Fox can't really be blamed for all that. Yes, Tom Rothman did say "no" to the Sentinels because he tough they were silly, but it was Bryan Singer's decision not to use Beast and Angel in X2 as well as cut the Danger Room scene and use the money that'd be spent on it on more important aspects of the movie. Cyclops was killed because James Marsden had scheduling conflicts due to his commitment to Superman Returns. Professor Xavier's death and the deleting of all scenes that were... well.. deleted were all decided by Brett Ratner as well.

Professor Xavier's death and the deleting of all scenes that were... well.. deleted were all decided by Brett Ratner as well.
But Fox was being cheap ass with the budget.Many sequels to films as successful as X-Men get bigger budgets.Yes Singer dropped Beast from X2 because he didn't want too many Blue characters but a trnasformation to blue during the dark cerebro attack was scripted and dropped for budget reasons.Singer dropped the danger room for budget reasons.Now granted he was able to make up from that for the kitchen scene between him and Iceman and getting the most berzerker rage we got so far(I expect The Wolverine to do even better with this) Singer had to pick his battles with the budget with Fox.Now they had to work around Ian Mckellan and Anna Paquin's schedules why couldn't they do the same with James marsden.Fox made the decsion to kill off Cyclops and Xavier.Ratner Is to blame for the cutting of deleted scenes and the script leak from when vaughn was attached had some decent things despite the killing off of major charaters.
Plus from the Last Stand commantary It IS clear Ratner Is an ass.

Maybe it's the way the trailer's cut, but oddly it's not quelling any doubts I have about the film. Make no mistake, Vaughn has a great eye for visuals and look-wise, it fits with the first three X-Men films' continuity.
But the best thing about it: it looks 100x better than the godawful Origins: Wolverine.

One thing I don't understand is why some are saying the effects look poorly, I think they look great for a film that has only been worked on for several months and I have faith that the final version of the film will look polished and seamless in the effects department.

Hi guys, I'm not a regular on the X-men boards (DC comics fan, y'see ;)), but I just thought I'd mention how impressed I was with the trailer. Hopefully, as a casual outsider, my opinion may mean more to you than the fanboys on this board.
I think this definitely looked better than even Singer's X-Men (the shot of beast in the plane was especially impressive), although based on what Singer had at his disposal, I suppose he can't be looked down upon at all.
We now have a fourth, REAL superhero offering this year. Any doubts I had about this movie (esp. about it's low budget) have now withered away. :)

I still would have preferred a "real" reboot, but I must say, the trailer is quite impressive. It doesn't have that mindless popcorn action movie vibe that Wolverine had.
But it's only a trailer, and those can be deceptive, so I will remain cautiously optimistic.
Superman Returns had a kickass trailer too
So did a bunch of other movies that turned out great. Gotta have faith.
Anyway, if the movie ends up sucking, you know we'll all be back here to ***** about it.:awesome:

While I'm very optimistic about this movie based on its trailer, as a guy who anticipated Superman Returns before it came out, this quote is very sad, but very true.

The trailer looks pretty darn good. The cgi looked good, the storyline looks interesting, and the pacing seemed perfect. This is the first time in 4.5 years that I've been interested in seeing an X-Men sequel, prequel, or spin-off. Now comes the waiting game for confirmation of the run time. Hopefully, I won't hear rumors of the run time being less than 2 hours and then witness Arclight theater in Los Angeles lie about another X-Men film running time for the umpteenth time.

Well ... unfortunately the trailer really didn't change my outlook for this movie. Most of the stuff I had already seen didn't really blow me away, but nothing really bothered me either. Basically ... meh.
I still kind of have the same feeling after seeing the trailer. There was some cool stuff, but nothing that really blew me away.
In the end, I think I'm going to be disappointed most of the big names (besides Prof X and Magneto) are not in this.
Being an X-men fan, I'll still be there opening night, though.

To be fair, Magneto alone could easily hold a movie by himself.
And in the other movies, the X-Men always played second fiddle to Wolverine. Most were little more than glorified cameos (some characters didn't even have lines).

Well, First Class will have elements from the spin-off Magneto script that they were originally planned to do. Nevertheless, he and Charles are the main characters and will be the driving force of the movie.

What I dig about the trailer is the way the scenes peak my interest. Unlike other recent trailers this one really draws me in. I want so badly to learn the context of these scenes and how they play out.
This is by far my most anticipated comic book movie of 2011. Thank you Vaughn!
Seems not having a TV spot during the Super Bowl isn't a big deal.
Yeah, and it makes sense since it seems CA fits to the Super Bowl's demograph more than the X-Men.

What I love about some fans is this:
1) "God, X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: The Last Stand was such crap! UGH!
2) "OMG, Singer's just throwing out the continuity of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and X-Men: THe Last Stand!"
Granted, most of that's not individual fans being clueless and hypocritical. That's fans disagreeing with each other. :oldrazz:
Im really pleased with Mccavoy as Xavier. Great fit. I wasnt sure with J. Jones for emma frost but boy does she look straight out of the 60's.
Why weren't you sure with January Jones? She IS best-known for Mad Men, which is a 60's period piece renowned for its authenticity. :funny:

Upon another viewing I've noticed a few more things about Magneto that are even more badass, one he's holding a gun when he's with the group watching the TV, and two, when he used his powers to take that knife away from that guy, he's pulling it out of his stomach.
- He makes a guy stab himself
- He has a gun
- He pulls a knife out of a guys stomach
- He lifts a damn sub out of the ocean
- "Peace was never an option"
This sounds like the best Magneto yet and I can not wait to see it.

Makes me wonder which mind(s) Charles is reading. Eric with that gun, and the whole Kennedy issue...intriguing! I think this will be the X-film most connected with our reality. To see them go through all those historical events, as if mutants are indeed part of the world as we know it, and always have been. Amazing!
I love the dark tones of the cinematography and how the film feels adult and never over the top. First Class is already epic! :woot:
Um...I hope you're joking with this post.
Xavier was simply turning his head in that shot and Erik's holding what looks like a remote or something.

The only way Thor stands a chance against First Class is because it will be in Imax 3D, if it werent for that, I believe first class would smash it. I think it looks the weakest out of all the hyped summer films we're getting. I dont think First Class will do poorly by any means, critical or financial.

Can't wait.
X3 was all action and effect, but lacked depth. it had a mediocre story and no intriguing new characters. in that sense, it did not offer a chance to better know the characters.
something about First Class that it seems that it will offer it. this movie seems more to be character and story driven rather than just non stop action and fast paced story telling like X3.
in a way, it's a good thing they haven't released a whole lot of info regarding this movie. sometimes less is more in the end :word:

Then you should know that Fox treated Singer like a piece of **** on the first 2 movies, giving him budgets that even at the time were that big, and then they dithered with the X3 contract relentlessly also.
WB come along, give him a $200 million dollar budget and all the freedom in the world and you blame him for leaving? Not to mention he said he'd happily do X3 after SR?
Sorry, but Singer has and always will be blameless to me in that situation. It showed Fox's incompetence at the time they couldnt even get a half decent director to take over.

I'm not going to allow myself to be spoiled this time like I did with X3 five years ago (good God has it been that long?).
See you after June 3 True Believers :D

Both of these things were not under Singer's direction. The Danger Room, while it looked similar, functioned completely different and the so-called Sentinel was just a head...so yeah. You're done.
I think you mean the X3 versions while the other poster means the concept version planned for Singer's films...

What's going on here??? Topless auditions to get in to school? That a strip club??
Hellfire Club at times in the comics has been shown to be a ahem, Gentlemen's Club, maybe Angel's one of the mutant strippers???

What was the music used in the trailer?
I'm curious about that myself.
Anyone?
