RESULTS: What Is Your Favorite X-Men Movie?

^ haha Ror

Still thinks X-Men 2 was the better movie but that's just me.

[frick]ing kids and 1st class

First Class baby!

What marvel72 said. How bout that.

I never really cared about any of the X-Men movies actually. Oh well

Nomis@ it probably is after he watched Episodes 1-3!!!

Im not really a big X men fan in general, especially of the movies but I gotta say I know good movie making when I see it and First class was phenomenal.

It was movie making at its best, I really gained a lotta respect for Matthew Vaughn after seeing it.

For this years CBMs for me
1.First Class- Just really well made.

2.CATFA- Also well made, alotta fun and I love Cap.

3.Thor- It was fun and Chris Hemsworth was great but the pacing was a little fast the characters motivations werent so clear and it was a bit choppy, good but just not as amazing as everyone on this site said it was imo.

4.Green Lantern- Although I love GL it just had too many problems, not as bad as everyone makes it out to be here, but compared to the other great CBMs of the year definetly not as good.

The opening scene to X2 is so amazing butttt First class is more accurate and more well done.

the problem with x-men first class is its a lousy prequel a good film but it doessn't follow the other movies continuity.

its not a reboot,its a prequel

-the opening scene of first class is almost the same as x-men.

-mystique looks like the mystique of the other films.

-rebecca romijn stamos & hugh jackman cameo's.

-the striker link easter egg.

-emma frost in first class & x-men origins wolverine.

-professor x in wheel chair at the end of first class but still walking at the start of x-men 3 & still friends with erik when they find jean.

-azazel scene in the c.i.a building reminds me alot of the nightcrawler white house scene.

-moria mactaggert looks younger in first class than she does in x-men 3 some 40 years later.

-mystique in first class has meant to of known charles since they were children but in the x-men trilogy there is zero mentioned of there pass relationship.

there is probably more but i think this will be enough.

@marvel72
The Stryker link actually doesn't hurt the continuity. The character appearing in First Class is the FATHER of the Colonel in X2, not the one in the same.
Not that I'm defending the continuity, because there practically is none, just sayin.

I voted X2. Wolverine should be dead last. It remains the only X-Men movie I haven't seen in theaters.

Where the hell is LEE anyways?

Yeah that image link didn't quite work. Haha. We really need the edit button back.

How exactly was First Class a reboot...?

@Marvel72, dont forget about how Beast was turned into his blue form in First class, but he was human again and mutant bashing in X2 lol (i luved First class, but X2 got to me first sooo X2 it is) :D

I remember when First Class was being talked about, everyone was hating on it just about, even me. lol Turned out to be one of the best CBM's ever.

@SuspenseSmith
Now just because I didn't vote for it doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I saw it at midnight when it came out, and again with my sister.

If sexual undertones make you uncomfortable, I'd advise you not to read comics.

I agree that it was rushed (it actually very much WAS), but the acting was perfect. And my sister and I ship Erik/Chahlie-Boy* so it worked for me.

Here's the thing. X-Men set the groundwork for the entire series to be lesser than their comic book counterparts. It focused way too much on Wolverine, who basically pushed Cyclops aside. It blended the two Brotherhoods together while also pushing Sabretooth in just because he's Wolverine's archnemesis. I've seen henchmen in Bond movies with more development than Sabretooth.
I didn't hate it, but I'm not sure if I like it better than the third film.

X2 showed us it could do better. It packed so much into it, from Nightcrawler's intro (and small development after) to Rogue and Bobby's continuing sexual frustration, to Mystique grabbing the spotlight from Logan, to Magneto's memorable prison break (he rips the iron traces from the blood of an abusive guard to shape his tools of trade), to Jean's progressive development into "Phoenix", to an intense aerial battle showing off four mutants' powers in one scene, to the Deathstrike/Logan showdown, and of course, the emotionally charged finale. It had so much energy to it, enough action to bring in any non-X-fan, and superior acting from all sides. It worked with the changes from the first film and surpassed them.
