Days of Future Past Have you seen X-Men: First Class? Post here!

[Tony Stark]

He wasn't directly at fault...

I get that, it was an accident. To me there was no betrayal between Charles and Mystique that would cause her to want to kill him in X1. Perhaps that will be told in a later sequel.

 

[MadVillainy]

Shaw was more focused on

Spoiler

his plan of starting a nuke war. He probably though his cronies could handle them seeing as last time they were not so great against him

I don't think Shaw versus the X-Men single handed would of been that exciting to be honest. He would basically just absorb eveything they tossed at him and release it against them.

Plus Magneto wanted the final kill I don't think he would of let Banshee, Havok and Beast help him as he was out to straight murder Shaw

But when he realizes his cronies fail, he gets his hands dirty.

I think Shaw vs X-Men wouldve been great. Yeah he can absorb the energy thrown by them, but I think that wouldve made for great team work. They realize "Wow our strategy isnt working. What can we do as a team to stop him?"

But you do have a point about Magneto getting the kill

 

[kedrell]

i think if someone had the ability to manipulate metal they could potentially crush diamonds with a soft metal substance by the amount of pressure applied

I think the diamond would have won out over the metal.

 

[pdrumans]

Just saw it and even though I saw all the clips before seeing it, I still felt that there was so much more to the movie than the clips. Color me impressed. I personally like it better than the previous X-Men movies.

I was wondering how Erik was able to still harm Emma when she was in her diamond form. I thought she'd be impervious to his power in that form, or at least impervious to him harming her.

Diamonds can crack and break. If you are rich, take a nice diamond and smash it with a rock and see what happens.

Diamonds are the hardest natural substance known and cannot be scratched by anything other than another diamond. However, they are not impervious and will crack or chip under the right circumstances.

Although diamonds are the hardest known substance, they will break along their edges. Diamond jewelry should not be worn in any situation where it might receive sharp blows.

 

[chaseter]

I get that, but what I didn't get is

Spoiler

Mags was responsible for nearly killing and paralyzing her brother, and she just walks off? Also it felt a little empty they left on good terms because she tries to kill him in X1

She does not try to kill him in X1. If she wanted to kill him he would be dead.

She walks off because she wants to and Charles tells her to. It's like a lion living with a human family. Sooner or later they get too big and they want to go be lions in the wild. She even mentioned it herself as being a pet that got too big.

Some of you even watch this movie????

 

[Stringer]

And clearly Magneto's tutelage was better for her than the Professor X's.

 

[jacobed]

My only complaints for this movie is way too many subtitles especially in the beginning, kudos for using the actual language but it just bothered me and i didnt like how Beast looked when he first appeared but every other scene with him looked great.

 

[chamber-music]

I knew someone would complain about the subtitles t:

I think it was to appeal to a international audience.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

Ya know, I also thought the crushing of Emma's neck with the bedpost did seem a bit weird, but in retrospect, I suppose it's possible. Emma might be able to deflect bullets and be invulnerable to high physical damage, but crushing pressure with that kind of considerable force would be able to eventually make any substance reach a breaking point. I mean, if someone dropped an asteroid 100m in diameter on Emma Frost while she's in diamond form, I would be surprised if she survived without some kind of injury, pain, or fatigue.

 

[JP]

Well, Frost is actually cubic zirconia. Lying *****.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

Just saw it and even though I saw all the clips before seeing it, I still felt that there was so much more to the movie than the clips..

Yep, that's usually how it works.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

BTW, how cool was it that this movie was taking place EVERYWHERE?

There were soo many locations and soo many settings and places where this movie took place. It definitely felt a bit more global, almost more global than any other CB movie in recent memory...

I don't usually respond to hyper fanboy comments. It was a great movie, but not without flaws. It's biggest problem was trying to work with the existing mythos was like shoving a square peg in a round hole.

Some of you even read my review????

 

[akfj]

I thought it was pretty awesome. I think it's the best superhero film since The Dark Knight, and I'd put it up there with Nolan's two Batman movies, the first two Spider-Man movies, and Singer's two X-Men movies. I give it a 9/10. There were no dull moments for me, it's just really entertaining all around. However, I'm tempted to deduct a half a point for the lack of a Jennifer Lawrence-as-Mystique rear shot, but there's enough to make up for it.

 

[Tony Stark]

Definitely had a James Bond feeling to it, with all the jet setting. Most comic books are localized, because it's about the hero defending his city, Superman and Metropolis, Batman and Gotham, Spider-man and NYC, etc, etc,

The Iron Man films had some global locations, but not quite like this movie. Like I say it's the James Bond of superhero films.

 

[kedrell]

Hehe,

 

[kedrell]

Diamonds can crack and break. If you are rich, take a nice diamond and smash it with a rock and see what happens.

Smashing it with a rock is one thing. Slowly crushing it is another. Guess which Erik was doing?

 

[kedrell]

Well, Frost is actually cubic zirconia. Lying *****.

Excellent come-back.

 

[Assassin32]

The scenes with Xavier meeting Mystique as children and Erik screaming "NOOOOOOO!!!" ala Darth Vader had me rolling my eyes, but once it got to the bar in Argentina it had me hooked. The entire finale was full of badassery.

So, is Singer ignoring The Last Stand like he ignored Superman III and IV? If so, brilliant!

Haven't read the whole thread but what clues are there that TLS is being ignored?

Spoiler

Xavier is paralyzed at the end.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

There are several aspects of the movie that ignores the first two movies too...

 

[psylockolussus]

Yeah like how Professor X said that he met a guy named Erik when he was 17.

 

[Deaths Head II]

I give it an 8/10. Enjoyable and has a lot of cool scenes but it's definitely got some flaws. It's no where near as polished as X2 but I do think it may be on par or even better then X1. I think they had too many characters and I feel they brushed over a lot of them outside of the main actors. The film's at it's strongest when it's about Magneto and Xavier and this film probably would have been better and more focused if they left out the First Class and just made it X-Men Origins: Magneto.
