X-Men: First Class

[TOE]

just saw this movie. It was alright.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I think the movie was named poorly, though. The school was not even established at any point in the movie so "First Class" really is not accurate.

It should have been called "Choosing Teams".

It really brought to mind the prepatory phase of games of dodge ball in elementary school.




I do say that tongue in cheek, though. As I have mentioned, I thought the movie was excellent.

Shoulda been called xmen before wolverine joined.

Just came back from the movie. I really enjoyed it but being real old school I had no clue to who Azazel is although figured he was somehow related to Nightcrawler. I had no idea Emma could change into diamonds- WTF? And who is this Angel chick? What happened to Warren Worthington III? When they first showed her dancing I immediately thought they made Dazzler a black chick! LOL I knew Banshee, Havok and of course Beast but this Darwin guy I assume was just a movie-only throwaway character, right?

Still, it was a fun flick. Was looking for a Stan Lee cameo and some other classic characters but missed 'em if they were there.

Spoiler

'Cause Hugh Jackman was only it in for 20 seconds.

I think it's more likely because this movie is following two terrible films than anything else. Public expectations were low.

Spoiler

I love Hugh Jackman, but if this movie becomes a sequel or a trilogy it's not going to need Wolverine - it's got Fassbender's Magneto.

It's WOM should be good though.

Superman, Batman, The Crow

if i remember correctly, the crow comic series wasn't actually finished by the time the movie came out. i wonder how many people were even aware it was a comic at the time.

 

[Alex Logan]

Thats the problem. Eventually they stop delivering solid films.

There's no reason to believe that.

Darwin is a legit Marvel character as is the Angel from this movie. Keep in mind, though, that her name is Angel, not her codename.

 

[The Mike]

Ugh, the same questions asked over and over despite being answered 50 times within this same thread some even before was released. I'm tapping out, this film was fantastic but I'm done with this thread.

 

[ironwez20]

jeez man

Spoiler

Darwin wasnt on the team for an hour before being killed aint that somthing.

Did moria say save that for the colored's when she was taking to charles at the bar about the eye thing. I coulda swore she said that.

Co-ed's not colored's.

 

[IrishJedi]

X-Men started it all. It's a fact. Without it, there would be no good hero flicks.

You're showing your youth again.

 

[ironwez20]

O ok thanks buddy.

 

[KneelBeforrSmallville]

Well besides the Superman franchise that fizzeled out after a 20 year absense and the Batman franchise frizzeled out also with Batman an Robin. Xmen was the first of the new wave of Superhero tentpole films. Once it was a smash at the box office thats when studios started trying to create comic book epics. There were still comic book movies before it but not 1-2 a year post Xmen in 2000.

First Class was Awesome, actually seeing it again today.

i got the comic book where nightcrawler first meet his father azazel and the rest of his brothers ans sisters if you wanna borrow it.

Hellfire Club members in the movie sux. Inaccuracy. But still fun movie.

Shoulda been called xmen before wolverine joined.

While this flick ignores X3 and Wolverine Origins. .

Spoiler

the time of his First Class cameo, I take it he does not have his adamantium and should have not been the ass he was in X1 & X2. But the attitude does match up with how he was supposed to be when Striker meets him based on the ending of X2.

I wonder if Magneto can control Thor's hammer

 

[Chapter 2099]

I wonder if Magneto can control Thor's hammer

I vote an easy "no" on Mjolnir.

Cool photoshop manip though.

 

[316what]

I still don't remember seeing Cyclops in it, but I guess this means I need to go see it again.

It may have already been answered, but Cyclops was to the left of the screen wearing a ball cap, sunglasses and had a baseball glove on.

 

[EVILFACE]

Magneto's power would not work on Mjolnir as he is not worthy.
