Back in the day.

Maybe we should get somewhat back on topic.

I really want to see the movie.

 

[Zatanna]

Does it explain why Professor X is scottish in this one but very posh and English in the future?

James McAvoy is Scottish, but he clearly used an English accent in this movie, you can tell by the trailers if you listen.


Besides, Scottish accents are sexy.

Going to a double feature tonight to see this and Pirates otc

 

[Racks]

Just got home from the midnight release! Movie was awesome! ;D

Good to know... I'll have to check that out this weekend.

 

[Maulds]

Easily my favorite X-Men movie.

 

[Maulds]

Personally, I can't wait for X-Men Origins: Magneto.

First Class is very Magneto-centric. It covers his origin story pretty well.

 

[Zorak]

Words cannot express how hyped I am for this movie. I love the X-Men movies, and I like the direction they're taking with the new movies, about going back and showing some backstories for the characters, rather than just making a bunch of sequels. Personally, I can't wait for X-Men Origins: Magneto.

I know they were going to do one, but they might have cancelled it for this instead.

Last I heard it had been scrapped and parts of it were being put into First Class instead.

Aushcwitz was probably too sensitive material, and the films protagonist would be a child... I can see why hollywood ditched that idea in favour for this more mainstream effort.

I have yet to see a bad X-Men movie. This will be seen in the theater!

So you haven't seen X2 or X3? :24:

 

[Maulds]

I liked X2


This isnt a spoiler in my opinion but I'll be very vague anyway. There is a cameo appearance in the middle of this movie, and it is the funniest part of the film.

If you like X-Men at all go see this film.

 

[Darrell]

I want to see this tomorrow.

 

[Maulds]

What was so bad about X2?

 

[Darrell]

What was so bad about X2?

I don't remember specifically, I just recall not liking it very much.

 

[Darrell]

This was a solid 9.5 out of 10. I loved it, the best X-Men film to date, and I want to see these characters again in a sequel.

 

[Burntblood]

I just watched one today with Wolverine, a couple of hot chicks and a bunch of really weak CGI.
I liked it.

 

[Minor Axis]

Not to be the disagreeable contribution, but anyone disappointed in X-Men First Class besides me? Saw it today. I've seen all five X-Men movies. The first two were excellent, the third was ok. The Wolverine Origins movie was splendid reviving the series, but I can't help wonder what happened in this case. I've said all along that I've never been happy with the story liberties taken with the X-Men movies, but setting that aside, I've always thought the movies were excellent alternate realities until now. Without going into spoiler territory I'll stop here. It sucked!

This and Pirates of the Caribbean are two strikes. Now I'm still hoping Super 8 will be good.

 

[Darrell]

Wow man, you're the first person I've talked to that didn't like it.
