RESULTS: What Did You Think Of X-Men: First Class?

It was ok, but not the best in my opinion. Should have been strictly Magneto and Xavier.

The best X-Men film ever in my opinion, it was beyond epic. The acting was superb, the effect were great, awesome choice in characters, the story was great, I just wish they wouldn't have "killed" Darwin

good,but could of been better.

after a second veiwing,its not as good as i first thought.

thor ****
x-men first class ***
green lantern **
green hornet **
priest **

The only comic book film Ive been happy and satisfied with this year so far,despite the continuity

It was fun and I enjoyed it immensely. I still find it funny that LEE has been really quiet since GL came out. He definitely had all his eggs in that basket.

@ brashlight

lee did come on the site the other day saying how great the green lantern was.

his comments are in one of the reveiws,i think selinakyle or joshw.

@marvel72

I think you ment to say that his comments mean less than nothing.

Him saying GL would trump First Class
Internet 1
LEE 0

zemus@ LOL, nicely done! I haven't seen GL yet but from what I have heard all the problems with it are the same problems LEE is always complaining about. Kind of sad his hatred for pretty much everything.

Intruder@ It might help to think of this as a separate First Class universe. That is how i looked at it and i enjoyed the movie. The more you dwell the more pissed you will get. I mean seriously how many different continuities are there in the comics world? think about that.

I'm certain there will be another X-Men movie, it made too much to just discard.

It was very good and the best movie so far this summer. The story was very complex, the acting was fantastic especially Fassbender and McAvoy, and the action was superb.

Why not add a final category: "Didn't see the movie because I utterly refuse to support Fox's interpretation of the Marvel U, in keeping with my original intentions, and with little regret."

@tea: then I must be a big ol' homo.

Apart from some under whelming performances from some of the cast i.e January Jones i thought the movie in a whole had a much better script and was more exciting than thor.

Say wot you will guys! The movie was great. Granted liberties were definitely taken! But then nowadays which book adaptation actually DOES go strictly with the content. Even Harry Potter has had things changed as well as LOTR. Not comparing XFC to either of these series btw.

And if th movie was just centered around Mags & X I dont think it wouldve been the dynamic, exciting CBM we all (well, most of us atleast) know & love today...That story is good for a medium like comics & books alone, movies need to have some bada boom in order to get people interested in the movie & ultimately the XMen franchise (comics, cartoons, etc) as a whole! The 1st XMen movie is wot pulled me into the comic book world & I'm sure XFC is doing precisely the same for thousands of other kids the world over today...

Simonson, because we are assuming that people that come to Comic Book MOVIE are movie fans as well as comic fans and want to see good movies regardless of how in keeping they are with the comic they are based on.

the hole movie switched gears after the first hour just like the green lantern did

A good movie? Yeah sure but not great. I am not trying to be a downer. I had no expectations for this movie so it took me by surprise. I am happy that general audiences loved it and fans of the comic ended up impressed or somewhat satisfied. The whole movie was a horrible situation leading up to its release and it does not go without its faults. I don't know why the critics loved it so much. The movie was far from great. I am just wondering what people saw that I did not.
The plot and overall tone of the movie was different compared to what we are used to seeing in comic book films. It was refreshing. It flowed well and did not take itself too seriously. Little bits of history were sprinkled in. They touched upon some sensitive topics without getting too deep or going all Oliver Stone with it. The setting in which it took place was nice.
I could have done without a majority of the mutants. Everyone here agrees with that. I could see the kids from Twilight acting in this movie. Beast was silly looking, Mystiques dialogue was corny, Havok was not supposed to be there, Kevin Bacon was cool but never really a threat. Azazel was cool but not used enough. They didnt even explain anything about him or Riptide who looked like a chippendales dancer or something I would imagine Playgirl displaying on their cover. Emma Frost was not as bad ass as she is in the comics, what did she even stand to gain? The actress did fine but her dialogue was pretty bad. Her role in the movie was all most as pointless as Halle Berrys Storm was in the past films.
The dialogue was cliche but somehow made the film better and worse. The lack of complicated dialogue complimented the pacing and plot of the film. Some of it was a little silly and reflected the softer cartoon and comic versions of X Men. They touched upon all of the characters without making it feel like too much. It was too little at times but they played it safe. I was only focused of Charles and Erik which I guess was the point.
I agree with the people who say that it should have just been X and Magneto but in the end that is what the movie was. So now that I basically wrote an essay on what I liked and disliked about this movie can anyone who finds this movie to be "great" just fill me in on their opinion or take on this? The movie was a decent action/sci fi/comedy? A good or great X Men movie? I don't think so. A good movie it was but to call it great I think is a bit much. It worked and thats why I thought highly of it. They still F'ed with my X Men

So far this movie has only made $120M domestically, and I don’t think it has anything to do with the economy. Thor, Hangover 2, Pirates, & Fast Five all have solid returns this summer. So I’m just curious if people think that they will make another movie if you can’t even come close to matching the production budget with your domestic audience?

It's defnitely the best Marvel movie yet, and I was really impressed by it. But it's far below Nolan's Batman movies.
