Ok, since the DAY First Class made it's way into the cinemas, it has got a horrible and I mean HORRIBLE feed back. Which I don't seem to understand completely, I realize that the timeline is way messed up from the other 4 x-men movies and that the characters for "first class" are not the same as the characters in the comics. I get it, I do. But why is everyone saying it's the worst CBM in history and that it shouldn't have even been made! Micheal Fassbender played a phenomenal magneto (Which is my all time favorite villain.) He Put the depth and emotion into the character that Ian Mckellen did not, though mckellen was also perfect as magneto, just in a different way. James MacAvoy played Charles Xavier (professor x) and nailed it, and defiantly filled the shoes of Patrick Stewart's professor x. Jennifer Lawrence played mystique and in my opinion, she pulled it off. Maybe not as well as Rebecca Romain (also older mystique) but she pulled it off pretty well. Kevin bacon played Sebastian Shaw, and he nailed it. He was perfect. In every way, he was intimidating and he convinced me that he was the character. Rose Byrne played Moria McTaggert and she was ok, but it was good to see Moria on screen for more then 10 seconds (x-3 after credit scene). Jason Flemming played Azazel, and he was perfect! He had one of the best fight scenes in the whole movie. Zoe Kravits played angel Salvadore, she was good I guess. Not my favorite. January Jones played Emma Frost and also made it believable, her Simons form was awesome. Nicholas Hoult played Hank McCoy/beast. What can I say about that? He was perfect, and he seriously pulled it off and put all of the emotion into the character that kelsey grammar did not. Caleb Landry jones played Sean Cassidy/banshee, he was ok. Probably wouldn't have been my first choice to play him, but he did banshee at least a little justice. Edi Gathegi played Armando muñoz/Darwin, he was just awesome. And died entirely to early. He would have been awesome to see in action. And finally, we have Lucas Till, who played Alex summers/Havok and was an amazing part of first class. He put that attitude into the film that was needed to make it believable. Ok, that's an amazing cast, with all very talented actors and actresses. Despite the timeline and in-movie mess ups, it was a perfect, solid, well polished movie. In my opinion, the best CBM to date. So, after you read this, don't just leave hate comments. Let's have a legit discussion about this. Pick this movie up on DVD and blu-ray sept 9th and give it another shot. Watch the film as a x-men fan, not as a movie critic or a perfectionist. Just enjoy it.
