-why is Moira photoshopped there?
-is Magneto playing with ....chips/money?
-why is Riptide not looking at the camera? :oldrazz:
-what is Emma doing with her hands exactly?playing piano/pulling her stockings up?

The flying looks the best I've seen in any movie. Snyder take some tips down.

Yeah, here's some info. on the rigs used for the flying sequences in First Class. Hopefully, Snyder utilizes something similar for Man of Steel.

http://www.dailyblam.com/news/2011/03/10/new-information-action-effects-for-x-men-first-class

It also appears that director Matthew Vaughn is utilizing as many practical effects for the film as possible, even for scenes where most filmmakers would choose post production CG work. “They used some of the most high tech equipment I have ever seen. Computerized flying rigs connected to five or six giant cranes that were able to smoothly glide an actor 60 feet in the air... up and down, side to side and even turn them. The fact that they are literally flying (obviously from a wire) takes away the cheesy green screen effect. These guys were able to fly around sections of the beach the size of a football field; any direction under full control.

[merbass]

It's disappointed to never see Banshee in any of the posters. So far he is the only one without any feature promotional materials except trailers and some pictures. I mean he is so cool in the trailer. How can they leave him out in these posters !

[merbass]

In the banner, Mystique's hair seem to be combed back like the original rather than an unstylish bob we see so far !

[PyroChamber]

Too bad we aren't getting character posters like with the last movies, other than Xavier and Magneto, and a names trailer.

[craigdbfan]

Definitely seemed like they're using some new tech. That was the most striking part of the trailer quite honestly. How smooth the movement looked along with the great composition and rigging makes for a near perfect flying scene, it's very natural.

[Glutton]

All that's missing is Darwin and the...Man in Black right?

[BMM]

That banner is just bizarre. It's such a strange mixture of so many different elements. I really do wonder what is going through the minds of the folks in Fox's art department.

[craigdbfan]

Why do they suck at art so much? Who in the world did they put in charge.

The trailer editor is a genius yet the guy in charge of the promotional art side of things isn't even trying.

I mean what is going on?

[Rac]

I think its false advertising to have Havok`s Chest glow blue. :cmad:
Lol yeah.

[Deaths Head II]

That's very interesting to learn about the flying. I mostly thought it was CGI because of how smooth it looked.

And yeah, that poster is horrendous. Why do movie companies never make photoshoots with all the actors anymore and instead create photoshop abominations like this one where none of the actors look like they fit in at all?

[craigdbfan]

I defintely could tell that Banshee wasn't CGI since the beginning, if he were all CGI then it would have looked really stiff and just not good. Its the rigging and compositing along with that contraption with the incredible wire work that are to thank along with Vaughn and crew for making it work so well.

[lastairbender]

Hey guys, we have make this movie count... Between Pirates 4, Hangover 2, Kung Fu Panda 2 and Super 8, it seems hard!....We have to spread the word if we want more x-men movies.. (weekend box office no less than 80M :))

:wow:

I almost peed when I saw the Beast one. OMFG

[marvelrobbins]

Fans should like these trailers.Especilly the Beast one.

[Mako]

All three of them were awesome. I seriously cannot wait for this film !

[J.Howlett]

Pure class, those character teasers.

[JP]

Awesome! The Beast one is just :wow:


What makes these better than the XMO ones is that it's using actual footage and not making up stuff for the actors to say.

[protocida]

I liked it.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Wow, those character trailers are fantastic! The Beast one kicks ass!

[Angamb]

Too bad we aren't getting character posters like with the last movies, other than Xavier and Magneto, and a names trailer.

Im sure we'll get individual shots soon.

[TheWiseGuy487]

Pure class, those character teasers.

You could even say they are first class. :cwink:

[Mulholland '49]

Banshee falling out the window, lol. That's how you do comedy in a superhero flick... take notes Green Lantern.

[protocida]

^ Yeah... Let's not do that.

[JP]

Why not? It's true. :o

[chamber-music]

That was awesome loved the Banshee one. Havoks powers look cool too almost like a energy hoola hoop

[Alientraveller]

Those CG fish look fake. Well, it's looking good if that's all I can nitpick. I like Beast's oversized feet and transformation, and we understand what that 'hula hoop' effect Havok was in the trailer.

[Downhere]

Yeah, the fish are pretty fake looking but everything else is top notch.

[EnDz0n3]

Yea what was up with the fake Nemos?? LOL
But other than that, awesome clips.

[TheWiseGuy487]

The fish were the only things that were off-putting to me. Hopefully, that part will be touched up by the time the film is released.

Everything else looks great. For a film that was rushed, I'm surprised this looks as good as it does.

[Spider-Fan83]

What is Beast's pre-serum Beastiness? He looks pretty normal in the footage we've seen. Is it just that he doesn't like being able to jump around and hang onto stuff?
you know, I kinda gotta say, he does come across a bit over dramatic about his "mutation".... big monkey feet, are hardy the worst mutation in the world, he could've gotten... and considering, having that one oddity, came along with being super smart, an enhanced agility

just saying

[protocida]

Why not? It's true. :o
Opinions, opinions...

[BMM]

Ha. If the only thing people are questioning are some CGI fish, Vaughn must be doing something right. Glad to hear it.

I have a feeling the Banshee trying to fly scene will be advertised to kids. I can see him becoming a new favorite for them.

That's kind of how I feel too. If he was more like an ape man like in the comics I would be a lot more sympathetic since something like that would be a lot harder to hide.

[Matt Mortem]

I ****ing loved those character trailers. this films is blowing my mind with each little bit I see

Look harder at that trailer. His whole body changed. You can see his reflection at the very end. I missed it the first time. Started with his feet and then it showed his hands and then his face very vaguely appeared in whatever that thing was.

[Sweet Xstacy]

Okay then my bad. :doh:

Carry on.

Man, Mathew Vaughn has amazing aesthetic prowess. He is far more dynamic visually than Singer ever was. The Beast first person transformation sequence is amazing.

Oh my God that was hilarious. And everybody laughing at him. :yay:

And God Professor X's voice. :hrt:

[lastairbender]

I think they are showing too much footage. They are showing almost complete clips of some scenes (and dont know if cuts of every part of Banshee and Havoc). And possibly with other character trailers arriving...

I cant see anything more.. i must resist.. may the force be with me...

I just want posters, cards, character posters with some personal taglines and dynamic poses (not just the same)...

[Mulholland '49]

I wanna see more from Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost!

I love when Professor tells Havok he has complete faith in him, and Hank looks at Professor like he's crazy.

I like how Hank didn't want to stand beside the mannequin lol

Yeah that too. lol.

[KRIM]

That's the very first thing I noticed. The mark of a great director is how unique his direction is for any particular scene or dialog, filmed in such a way that is distinctively different than how others would have approached it.

[Sweet Xstacy]

That's the very first thing I noticed. The mark of a great director is how unique his direction is for any particular scene or dialog, filmed in such a way that is distinctively different than how others would have approached it.

I love how he takes us (the viewer) along for the journey. Instead of just watching the transformation (Beast) I felt like I was going through it with him and could imagine how it felt to lose control of yourself and fight a losing battle. I also love how we're right there with them through their self discovery as well as right there with the professor as he guides them.

I really like the feel of this. Yeah some of the cgi is subpar, dialogue a little stiff, but overall it feels very organic and dare I say, human.

[Excelsior.]

Yeah the lack of Frost has been disappointing. They really have not showed her at all. Hoping to get a character trailer for her.

Everything looks great though. Cant wait for this flick.

You guys are soo demanding... :p

[def28]

I just want more Frost hotness, thats all I ask. I get all excited about new footage and they always leave her out. Just one new shot next time would be nice.

[BMM]

Captain America and First Class were the only two trailers to receive applause at the midnight showing of Thor I went to, with Captain America receiving the most. This is the first time I've seen the new trailer in theaters, and it held up very well against the rest of the trailers shown (Captain America, Super 8, Colombiana, Pirates of the Caribbean 4, and Cowboys and Aliens). :up:

[SuperSoldier985]

Damn, that's good to hear!

[BMM]

Granted, I haven't seen the character trailers, but, after having seen Thor, I hope the tone of First Class is a bit more grown up. I think that would be a nice way for First Class to differentiate itself from the other superhero origin movies being released this summer, save for maybe Captain America.

There were moments in Thor that were a bit too cliche' for me, so I'm hoping First Class will be a nice break from that because, based on Green Lantern's first trailer and what they seem like they're hiding in the Wonder-Con footage and final trailer, I think Green Lantern may be offering more of the same of what I already saw in Thor. We'll see.

[The Original Bamfer]

The character trailers were realistic and serious in tone, save for Banshee's (in terms of the latter tone,) as it seems he'll likely be the comedic releif. But it wasn't campy or anything. And when I say "realistic" I mean as realistic as you can get, of course, in a world with mutants in it. :o

[craigdbfan]

Lucas Till was really the biggest surprise for me. I had never seen him perform and was not expecting that voice or great delivery he gave in that short amount of time.

He sounds like a deeper voiced Bale damn near.

[Zant]

We'll see.

The x men films have always been more grown up this move will continue with that.I don't understand it when some people say Batman begins started the whole serious tone pg 13 superhero movie ,X men had already been doing that for years.I would argue Batman begins was a very serous movie mainly because the first 2 x men films were hits

We'll see.

That's a good point. I loved Thor but it does have a very 'pop' vibe at times (the humour on earth, the Facebook and iPod references, etc) and despite Branagh's involvement, the dialogue isn't either smart or memorable. Natalie Portman is also quite ditzy and light, surprising for an Oscar winner (but not surprising considering she told us - see here (http://blogs.coventrytelegraph.net/thegeekfiles/2011/05/why-natalie-portman-signed-on.html)- she was totally burned out from Black Swan). They seem to have deliberately tried not to make it too 'deep' or overly serious.

Green Lantern does indeed appear to have a similar sensibility.

X-Men seems to have more weight, the connection to a grave time in history gives it substance, as does the dialogue.

At this point i don't know where they are aiming Captain America's appeal.

On a side note, I wish films in general would try harder with their dialogue and themes. So many of them just exist, with no point and no memorable elements (even Ridley Scott's Robin Hood was a total waste of time and money, for the studio and the viewer)

[Silvermoth]

It's cool how you can kinda see how they're all reflecting the original first class team. Like Banshee is kinda like the Iceman of the team, a bit of a joker, and Havok is a sub for Cyclops and Mystique for Jean (the one who's loved by everyone)

[merbass]

Havoc's voice is soooooo deep. It doesn't match his face !

I'm not seeing anymore materials from the movie thought cos I dont wanna be spoiled too much !

[Wefflehouse]

What I'm really feeling when I re-watch the trailers is that particular exchange between Raven/Mystique and whoever offscreen (Beast?) when she says, "Should we have to hide?" a question she will answer in X2, "Because we shouldn't have to."

[jaymes_e06]

Yeah it's weird that a second tear henchmany character in the first film has some of the most memorable and stand out parts of the series.

Vaughn seems to be handling the humor aspect well. First Class has humor but it not campy humor that undermines the overall tone.

Midnight....so comic fanboys. Of course they will react to Cap and X-men the most.

What about Green Lantern? How was the reaction to that?

[SuperSoldier985]

There were no superhero-related trailers when I saw Thor last night...but it was in IMAX 3D, so...I dunno..

-Cowboys & Aliens #2
-The Three Musketeers
-Immortals
-Super 8
-Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides #2 (3D)
-Transformers: Dark of the Moon #1 Teaser (3D)

[Iceman]

Those 3 character trailers were really good. This film definitely has a certain style to it. McAvoy is sounding great as a teacher.

[Mulholland '49]

Didn't really like lil Mystique, she looks like a Na' vi... I love the weight scene though.

[PyroChamber]

Even though it's a prequel, anyone think there's still a possibility that there could be a Patrick Stewart prologue in the beginning?

[EnDz0n3]

Is little Mystique shirtless?

Sadly only trailers from my Thor midnight showing was Capt. America and Super 8. Sooo disappointed. :(((( I thought i could finally see the X-men trailers on screen.

[meltdown28]

Even though it's a prequel, anyone think there's still a possibility that there could be a Patrick Stewart prologue in the beginning?
I wouldnt think it would be out of the realm of possiblity.

[Loganbabe]

Is little Mystique shirtless?
Yes.

[Sebastos]

I doubt we'll see any brief scene with Stewart reprising his role as Prof. X.

[SuperSoldier985]

Yes.
and let's not get too excited there.... :awesome:

[Excelsior.]

The fact that the narrative is integrated with a major historical event gives this movie a weight previously unseen in any Superhero movie. This movie feels important, more so than X-2, more so than TDK, it demands attention. This is not another throwaway popcorn summer pulp.

[Loganbabe]

and let's not get too excited there.... :awesome:
Hey! :cmad: :oldrazz:

Violent Image
My guess is Xavier being crippled.

[The Original Bamfer]

I'd say that's a good guess.

[The Original Bamfer]

The first time I saw Havok destroy that statue I was sure it was a human... I was like, "damn, no wonder kid's in jail..."

[craigdbfan]

Why does Jennifer L have to be so damn hot? :hrt:

Loved Magnetos line in that scene.

[jignat]

Sexuality?

I wonder if Charles gets some action. A lot of the interviews refer to his horny nature.

[BMM]

Not to mention Mystique, as well as January Jones walking around in little more than a bra and boots.

[merbass]

Jennifer is cute, but she is not stunning as Rebecca. Her face is kinda chubby even when she has Mystique make up on !

[The Original Bamfer]

No wonder beautiful, young ladies have complexes these days... saying that Jennifer Lawrence's damn-near-perfect face is "chubby". :down

[The Original Bamfer]

Mystique's solo cover is fantastic - she looks great.

[craigdbfan]

It's a really great shot. :up:

[flavio_lebeau]

She looks amazing. Reminds me of the Romijn promo shots.

I hope we get a scene where she decides to go naked.

[Spider-ManHero12]

That Mystique trailer rocked! Less than a month to go. :up:

[The Original Bamfer]

I want to see more Beast, though. We've only seen one promotional image of his blue form. Then again, I'm thinking there's some CGI that goes into his makeup, because in the trailers - especially the international theatrical - he looks way too good and fluid when he moves. And I think that'd be hard to catch in a still.

[flavio_lebeau]

I'm so excited for this movie. Especially for the fact I didn't follow production so closely, so I don't even know what the plot is, other than the obvious forming of the school and the Cuba situation.

I just hope it does well and we get some better characters in the next one. And by better I mean characters I care about like Storm, Jean and Scott.

This movie looks like a better, more expensive X1.

[The Original Bamfer]

What's great about it is that it's already made me care about characters I've never cared for before... like Havok and Banshee. There's more character development in those character trailers than there was for some characters in previous films.

[jaymes_e06]

^Word.

[The Morningstar]

I am digging the look of Mystique but... her forehead looks a bit... Vince Vaughn esque, if you get my meaning.

[Hellion]

The pic/cover of Mystique is the best i've seen of her,

....just wonderine, do you think, Darwin and Angel will appear in uniform?

[merbass]

The solo cover of Mystique looks great and alsmost exact same position / angle like Rebecca. Like the above poster said, her other picture has her make up with the forehead too wide.

Also anyone notice that we see only one picture of Beast and they keep flipping the picture left and right with different poster / cover !

[JP]

Mystique's eyes are still WRONG. Ugh.

[Project862006]

they look exactly like the previous trilogy lol

[flavio_lebeau]

except for the pupils which had some tiny black spots around it, but really, who cares.

[JP]

they look exactly like the previous trilogy lol
No they do not. :huh:

[Project862006]

eh who cares anyways i like the eyes better than normal eyes that are yellow which is what rebecca's eyes were,jennifer's eyes have a more alien look to them and look more like her comic counterpart an improvement in my eyes.

Nope, these are her eyes.

[jaymes_e06]

^Yeah in fact the entire make up process and hair looks so much better in Romijns Mystique... It's like they forgot how to do it or something.

[JP]

X2 was the last time Mystique looked utterly fantastic. :/

[flavio_lebeau]

X2 was actually the only time she looked perfect. In X1 her weave was jank, and in X3 her voice was off, and she seemed lighter blue than before.

[JP]

X2 was actually the only time she looked perfect. In X1 her weave was jank, and in X3 her voice was off, and she seemed lighter blue than before.
:oldrazz: Too true.

Yeah, in X3 she still kinda had the voice alteration, but they made it very soft. She was also a lighter blue. The same blue she seems to be in First Class. I think Spectral Motion did her make-up for X3, and I think they also did her work on First Class to that might explain why she's a different shade again. :/

[kickass]

Nope, these are her eyes.

That looks awful.

[JP]

Except it doesn't, but ok. :up:

[kickass]

Jennifer is cute, but she is not stunning as Rebecca. Her face is kinda chubby even when she has Mystique make up on !

But that's like asking "why isn't she Rebecca's height in this?!".

STILL A KID, HELLO.

[JAK®]

A 19 year old girl is as tall as she's ever going to get.

[SuperSoldier985]

Mystique's eyes are still WRONG. Ugh.

Awesome thanks for posting.

[Sebastos]

Splendid covers.

[Storm22]

Mystique's eyes in the trailer, where she's on the beach, looked exactly like her eyes in X2.

[Loganbabe]

No wonder beautiful, young ladies have complexes these days... saying that Jennifer Lawrence's damn-near-perfect face is "chubby". :down
Exactly. It's sad, really. :csad:

Mystique looks great in that cover! :awesome:

[chamber-music]

....just wonderine, do you think, Darwin and Angel will appear in uniform?
I don't think Darwin or Angel are on the team. They have not been shown in costume or training with the others at the mansion or in the final battle scene on the beach.

Don't know if they don't join or are killed or something

[danoyse]

No wonder beautiful, young ladies have complexes these days... saying that Jennifer Lawrence's damn-near-perfect face is "chubby". :down

Agreed.

Lawrence is totally beautiful, there's nothing wrong with her face.

[JAK®]

Agreed.

Lawrence is totally beautiful, there's nothing wrong with her face.
You kidding? It's all blue and scaly!

[JP]

Mystique's eyes in the trailer, where she's on the beach, looked exactly like her eyes in X2.

I'm afraid not.

[Loganbabe]

Sexuality?
I wonder if Charles gets some action.
I'm sincerely counting on it. :woot:

[marvelrobbins]

Probally with Moira.She Is his love Intrest In film.

[Majik1387]

I'm going to assume the "sexual content" is mainly gonna be the go-go dancer bar/club where Angel is.

[Wolverine1988]

lol people are complaining about the eyes now? People on this website are always complaning, mainly the x-men section.

Now i know that there will never be an X-men film that pleases the comic book fans, because we have wierdos who complain about the tiniest and most pointless details.

[SuperSoldier985]

Agreed.

Lawrence is totally beautiful, there's nothing wrong with her face.
I don't think she's beautiful or anything. I mean, she's not ugly, but she has a very average looking face.

[Electrix]

Rebecca Romijn was hired because of her 'look'. She was a model and had the physique Singer was after. This time Mystique will have more lines in one scene than she got in the whole trilogy combined, so they will have approached it as 'who can act the best' instead of 'who looks best in make-up'. Amber Heard who was rumoured during casting has more of a Mystique look, but that's not the main priority this time.

[Spideyfan93]

This movie really looks like it could be great! Hope the trailers aren't deceiving...because they've convinced me along with all my friends(who aren't into comics) that it looks amazing!

[protocida]

I don't think Darwin or Angel are on the team. They have not been shown in costume or training with the others at the mansion or in the final battle scene on the beach.

Angel joins the Hellfire Club early on. I don't know about Darwin.

[merbass]

I don't think she's beautiful or anything. I mean, she's not ugly, but she has a very average looking face.

That's exactly the point. And what is wrong with having a chubby face ? I have chubby face myself and the comment is related to how she looks as Mystique comparing to a super gorgeous Rebecca ! Scarlet Johannson and Reese Witterspoon are beautiful but they won't be great as Mystique either !

[The Original Bamfer]

It seems like Mystique's features change with age. Her blue features that is. Her scales as a child are underdeveloped. As a late teen/young adult, they're there, but the same shade as her skin, and forty years later, her scales are a more green shade, her skin is darker and the black in her eyes is deteriorating. Perhaps they put some thought into the makeup differences?

That's totally true. The henchmen in X1 weren't hired for their acting abilities, but Romijn proved herself with X2 and actually took the role to a higher level. I was always so proud of her for that.

[SuperSoldier985]

lol, henchmen.

[merbass]

Amber Heard is a good actress too. Too bad she just never got a good role (Drive angry 3D ?!?) I like her more than Jennifer, so I keep picturing her in a role with Mystique make up on. Jennifer received Oscars nomination though, so that gives FC even more respect from fans and critics.

No offense, Project, but you've been on an ungodly level of biased since this project began. Even so far as to argue against the fact that it's a rushed production. :whatever:

I'm sorry that me caring that the make-up work is consistent and up to the same level as previous films somehow offends you.

[Mulholland '49]

I'm starting to think Mystique's colors off because Vaughn loves bright and vibrant colors which give it a more comic book feel. I agree with JP though... right now I'm just see Jennifer Lawrence covered in blue makeup/ scales with a bad red wig instead of seeing Mystique.

[Majik1387]

I see nothing wrong with Mystique's make up or hair at all.

[JP]

I'm not even complaining about the make-up. I just want her eyes and voice correct. I realize that she's not going to be the right shade of blue, which is fine.. it's the 60's.

[SuperSoldier985]

Let it go, JP... :p

[JP]

I have nothing to let go. Sweet Jesus, some of you. :huh:

LOLOL wow i guess that total argument went over your head because i said this project was rushed just like x men 1 and 2 and those movies turned out fine was what i said never said it was'nt rushed you just assumed rushed = bad product.:whatever:

[JP]

Yes, because I haven't been championing this film since 2009. Wow, give me a break.


There was an exact post from someone saying "No one can deny this film is being rushed." and your response was "Yes, I can" or something of the nature.


I've loved everything about this film and have been a huge supporter since Singer signed on to direct in September of 2009. Don't act as if that isn't a fact. :whatever:

So this is what we are complaining about now huh? Well, she is younger so it can make sense if you think about it. Also, I was never into this mystique look anyways so I don't really care.

Just like everybody *****ing about Beasts look. Who cares. it looks good.

[JP]

Sweet Christ on a cracker.

[Wolverine1988]

Sweet Christ on a cracker.


If your going to complain about really minor details, than don't be all suprised when people slam you for it.

[Mako]

Just saw a TV spot it was pretty much the same footage has far as I can tell but theres was a shot of the team sitting down in the jet.

[Mulholland '49]

Finally saw a TV spot on FOX. Looks good on the tube.

[Mako]

Yea it was pretty awesome :)

[josh8]

I have nothing to let go. Sweet Jesus, some of you. :huh:

sorry JP, but you just often come off as really arrogant. mystique's eyes are different in that magazine cover, but lil mystique's eyes are done in the same way as the previous movies.

Saw the spot on Fox. Looking good :up:

That's not how this forum works. People are permitted to express their opinion without being "slammed." Discussions, yes. Arguments, no.

[The Original Bamfer]

And this goes to all: if you don't like what someone says, don't respond with a childish gif or image. It's grounds for an infraction.

Now let's move on and if we can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

You all owe me gifts for Mother's Day..

Oh I've got a gift for you right here..

[The Original Bamfer]

Bring it.

[SuperSoldier985]

Take it.

[def28]

Man, Im stoked they are not releasing this film in 3D. Barely any 2D showtimes for Thor and I was forced to see it in 3D. Couldnt focus on the action scenes at all. Still shots look fine but action scenes suck in 3D.

Are we getting Imax for FC? That would be cool.

[danoyse]

No IMAX for First Class, as far as I know.


And why is everyone so cranky here tonight?

[gkokujin]

im someone who really nit picks movies.
I hated transformers, i thought X3 was a waste, and Wolverine Origins made me so angry i wanted to puke.

but THIS MOVIE, going in so far I can not say anything bad about. We have two GOOD people putting it together story and visual wise, we have a WIDE array of characters who are DOING something, not just there for no reason.

These guys learned from the mistakes of the first few movies and now that they have a bit more insight they will make sure what makes the comics so great, is translated to the screen and i wish them the best of luck.

but know this mortals, should this movie suck...I shall return with the vengeance of Calibos and curse this land.

[Project862006]

so sad i saw thor tonight and no First Class Trailer

[Hellion]

so sad i saw thor tonight and no First Class Trailer

I saw Thor yesterday and was pleasantly surprised to see First Class & Captain America trailers...no Green Lantern :csad: ...I set myself up for disappointment, but It was awesome seeing the trailers on the big screen......

...I know a few of you guys said there was no First Class trailers with your viewings...

my theater also had two viewings of standard Thor (what term would you use?) and 1 for 3d...different screens have different trailers from my experience...

Unless I see Thor again, in the same screen LOL, yesterday was my only time to see it...I won't be seeing it again probably since the next film I really wanna see is First Class, but it blew me away seeing it on the theater screen.

I noticed they started airing TV spots tonight during the FOX animation domination......

[Deaths Head II]

I only had one trailer attached to my showing of Thor and that was Captain America. I did see it in an EXTREMELY small theater though. I was not willing to pay $15 to go see the 3D-only screenings at the bigger theaters.

[Darkness Falls]

we got x-men fc but not cap :(

[merbass]

I'm not even complaining about the make-up. I just want her eyes and voice correct. I realize that she's not going to be the right shade of blue, which is fine.. it's the 60's.

Me too. This Mystique does not have a wow factor like the Rebecca one. But I will see the movie first to see if it works on big screen. Perhaps the voice effect and eye color would be fixed. These kind of movies usually have their effects worked on until their release are near.

[SuperSoldier985]

I didn't realize she ever had a "wow factor"... :p

[merbass]

I didn't realize she ever had a "wow factor"... :p

Were you too busy checking out Wolverine's biceps ? :wow:

By the way, since there are so many attractive guys in the this movie. I'm not even sure whom I should have a crush on.

[DAR37]

After X3 and Wolverine I have to admit that I was a little tired of the whole X movie universe. But after seeing the trailers for First Class maybe the best thing is that it won't feature Wolverine.

[SuperSoldier985]

Were you too busy checking out Wolverine's biceps ? :wow:
Oh that aint right

[RichardMoore]

Rated PG 13 : Brief Strong Language, Some Sexuality, and a Violent Image

got that off official website


Bull.

There's no way in the world that is the real rating. Superman Returns was rated PG-13 for "some intense action violence". Are you telling me that X-Men: First Class is devoid of intense action violence or has less than Superman Returns?

In the trailer alone, we've seen Azazel slicing people with swords, Magneto killing Nazi soldiers in various ways, huge explosions, a big action sequence involving some missiles being fired, and loads of other action. There's NO WAY that this is the real rating.

That would mean that there's no action violence in this movie whatsoever. That the worst we'll see is one singular "violent image". I'm telling you right now that this is not the real rating. This doesn't even look like the rating for a superhero movie.

Look at the previous X-Men ratings:

X-Men
Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action violence.

X2
Rated PG-13 for sci-fi action/violence, some sexuality, and brief language.

X-Men: The Last Stand
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action violence, some sexual content and language.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and some partial nudity.

The official website has an error. I don't know what movie that rating's for, but unless hell has frozen over and pigs are flying in the sky, this is NOT, I repeat NOT the rating for the X-Men First Class.

[protocida]

Okay...

[RichardMoore]

Okay...

The only reason I posted that is because some are supposing that it's the genuine rating and are trying to figure out what the "violent image" or the "sexuality" is.

I'm saying that the MPAA were either snorting cocaine enhanced with bleach OR it's not the real rating (which it, of course, is not the real rating).

[RachelDawes]

Were you too busy checking out Wolverine's biceps ? :wow:

By the way, since there are so many attractive guys in the this movie. I'm not even sure whom I should have a crush on.

It's McAvoy, Fassbender, and Hoult for me.

Are you saying that you think the movie won't be PG-13?

For the guys we have jennifer LAwrence,Janaury Jones,and Rose Byrne to devolp

Are you saying that you think the movie won't be PG-13?

When I say rating, I mean the rating and the reasons with it.

As much money as I'd bet on this rating descriptor being wrong, I'd bet twice that on the movie being PG-13.

Every superhero movie this summer will be PG-13 no doubt.

[SuperSoldier985]

As they should?

These are movies based on comics books, sold to children.

[RichardMoore]

As they should?

These are movies based on comics books, sold to children.

I wasn't arguing that they shouldn't.

But I'm sure no younger people (or older ones, for that matter) expect merely a "violent image" with the language and sexual content outweighing that when they go see an X-Men movie. They expect intense action violence throughout.

[henzINNIT]

Talking about the crushes, Rose <3

No way, Ill take Rose over the blonde girls. They are all extremely hot but Rose does it for me. Personally I find her flawless.

[marvelrobbins]

Well we could have a threeway battle then.I will admit to not taking much notice of her before but she looks good In X-Men first Class trailers.Rose really In the trailer resembles Moira.Always a good thing when you have actress who can remind you of the comic Book version of who they are playing.

[Majik1387]

I'm surprised you guys are ignoring Zoe Kravitz. :huh:

[def28]

Im not really too familiar with Zoe Kravitz yet.
Always a good thing when you have actress who can remind you of the comic Book version of who they are playing.

Definitely. Im much more familiar with Rose cause of 28 weeks later, Sunshine, Get Him To The Greek and Troy. All different roles and she plays them very well. Beautiful Woman. I would stop reading comics for her.

[SuperSoldier985]

Consider my biscuit buttered

[Majik1387]

Oh man, I hadn't even considered the possibility that Fox could have ruined this film by chopping it down to 90 minutes...
I'm hoping they learned their cutting down time on movies have only been negative for them.

[SuperSoldier985]

I dunno, you guys give FOX way too much credit...

As previously indicated, there have been plenty of FOX movies with long running times and yeah, they've hacked up a couple in the past, but from what I've gathered, for the most part, a lot of the decisions in final cuts, deleting scenes and cutting out sequences have always been directly in the hands of the director(s)...


ANY HOO, I consider this to be pretty great news, assuming it's legit and all.

[Majik1387]

Yeah in the hands of the director by orders of Fox.
