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

[JNX]

Just got back. Loved it!! Definitely 10/10!!

I, too, want more. I want to see young Scott, Jean, and Storm. And I want them to start planting the seeds of the Phoenix storyline ( done right this time ).

 

[JNX]

Yeah like why Az didn't just teleport himself or anyone else off the island when all of the nukes were coming at them. He either had a lot of faith in someone he knows nothing about or maybe he just spaced out and was ready to die so he just stood there like a stoned idiot

Az: "Alright everyone, let's all form a circle and hold hands."

 

[Caped Crusader]

Loved every second of it, for me this was my favorite Marvel film.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Loved it. How I'd rank the movies now:

1. X2
2. First Class
3. X-Men
4. Wolverine
5. The Last Stand.

Excellent movie. This is easily better than the The Last Stand and Wolverine. I don't know if it's better than the first two movies, which I'll have to rewatch (been a long time, and I saw them with extremely high expectations). But I definitely had the most FUN watching this particular X-Men movie. The script was terrific and fast paced, and I didn't get bored for a second. Even though some of the kids didn't get that many lines or scenes to themselves, I liked all of them and the performances of the actors. The idea to mix superheroes with "James Bond" was a great one.


Two thumbs way up. 9/10.

Aaaamaaazing.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Just saw it and I loved it even my friends loved it who arent big on comics. Sure there were little things here and there I would change but still a great movie.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

The first time I watched it, I wanted to give it a 7.5

I saw it a second time, I took it up to a 8.5

I saw it a THIRD time, and I think it'll stay at a 8.5/10. I REALLY want to give it a 9/10 though.

 

[RetroNaz]

Loved it. How I'd rank the movies now:

1. X2
2. First Class
3. X-Men
4. Wolverine
5. The Last Stand.

Spot on ranking IMO. I feel the exact same way.

 

[X Knight]

just saw it a few hours ago.

It was AWESOME!! Loved every minute of it.

Definitely a 10/10 and better than the previous X movies ( even X2 ). Indeed, I would have to say it's one of the best CB/Superhero movies I've seen. I rank it right up there with TDK and Spider-man 2.

oh.......and I must say.........Magneto was an absolute bad*** and for me, the highlight of the film.

Surprisingly, Mystique was a close 2nd highlight!

 

[BestGirl]

I could imagine they could easily have shown Magneto' silhouette (with helmet) as they broke into [BLACKOUT]Frost's cell, and Frost say something like "Sebastian, what took you so long... And then see it's Magneto[/BLACKOUT]

Would explain she was waiting for him. Pity we didn't get something to explain it. Personally, I thought she made it clear she could escape anytime, which should have got the CIA guys seriously worried.

Regarding Cerebro, I can easily see guilt for what happened to Xavier make Magneto help him (and Beast, probably) built the 2nd and current Cerebro. Of course, guilt does wear off eventually....

Perhaps she couldn't. Maybe she didn't have the confidence that she could telepathically the control the minds of every guard in the prison so she could escape.

Ok, how are they supposed to know where she is so Azazel can come get her? Magneto knew because he helped apprehend her.

Shaw's been able to get two different governments to put missiles in politically sensitive areas. I'm sure he could get someone to tell him Emma's location.

I thought it was pretty evident in the scene where she had to get ice for his drink that he didnt care about her...and it seemed like she understood it in that scene...so why would she expect him to come and get her.

He needs her telepathic abilities, if nothing else.

That's actually a good point.

Magneto did have to live up to his little monologue but that is putting a lot of faith on someone you don't really know.

Then again he did kill Shaw and maybe that was enough proof? Or they all froze because seeing an onslaught of missiles is sort of shocking.

That's what I would assume. That, or he was still a little out of it from that beating Beast gave him.

Not since X-men 2 has my mouth simply been held open the entire time. I loved it! Best blockbuster of the year I think, way better than Thor!

The acting was superb. Magneto's raw anger and vulnerability sent chills down my spine. Xavier's journey from loveable playboy to the wise teacher we know him as today was authentic and relatable. The X-kids were superb particularly Lawrence as Mystique and I'm glad Matthew Vaughn did not shy away from the time or the heavier themes such as the holocaust. It's a thinking man (and woman's) blockbuster.

Rose Byrne is lovely as the token human, Moira McTaggert and the action is intense. At the end of the movie I even almost cried (I was with my friends so I couldn't really). The X-men cameos were awesome, I loved the little nods which didn't need that slap in the face effect Marvel does with the Avengers. They were subtle and awesome.

I wonder where all the people who panicked because they misinterpreted Matthew Vaughn's comment that his movie was similar to Twilight are?

10/10 for me, I want more, more, MORE!

My feelings exactly. Well said.

Couldn't agree more!

 

[ALP]

Damn I gave this movie a 10/10. That is very rare for me to do.

 

[craigdbfan]

That's what I would assume. That, or he was still a little out of it from that beating Beast gave him.

That's what I'm thinking as well. Beast did give him a solid ass kicking .

 

[BMM]

If I could teleport thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, I'm not sure I'd leave immediately. There's no need to.

 

[thorstone]

Bacon and Fassbender were so awesome as enemies (and I never imagined the leader of the Hellfire Club as being so powerful (or the power looking so cool)).

I want a prequel now-- all about Erik killing Nazis and speaking foreign languages. The bar scene early in the movie was gold.
I'm not interested in the next film being more of a super hero film-- I want more of the subtle secret agent film.

 

[Marx]

I saw it last night. It's a great movie. I give it a solid '9'.

I really enjoyed the dynamic between Mystique and Magneto. I also thought the [BLACKOUT]paralyzing scene[/blackout] was pretty intense.

 

[Downhere]

Spoiler

Stryker's son as in Jason or as in William Stryker?

Spoiler

Xavier specifically addresses First Class Stryker's son as William, therefore, in line with the first two films. The first class Stryker is William Stryker's father.

 

[X Knight]

wait.............

Spoiler

Stryker is in First Class??

 

[Downhere]

wait.............

Spoiler

Stryker is in First Class??

Spoiler

William Stryker's (Bryan Cox in X2) father is in First Class.

 

[X Knight]

I also want to add that McAvoy was fantastic as Prof X. It definitely was another side to the character that we haven't seen before. But, I believe the events in this movie are pivotal in shaping his demeanor as older Prof X.

And, for me, the other surprise was just how good Bacon was as the villain!

 

[craigdbfan]

wait.............

Spoiler

Stryker is in First Class??

Spoiler

William Stryker's father is in this. Prof.X mentions him during the CIA meeting when he reads Papa Strykers mind and he happens to be thinking of his son.

 

[X Knight]

Spoiler

William Stryker's (Bryan Cox in X2) father is in First Class.

ah....got it. thanks.

 

[X Knight]

Spoiler

William Stryker's father is in this. Prof.X mentions him during the CIA meeting when he reads Papa Strykers mind and he happens to be thinking of his son.

and thank you, too. I didn't catch that.

 

[SuperSoldier985]

ah....got it. thanks.

Did you also think that the woman with the blue and green eyes as Jason Stryker's future mother?
