DC 536 Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 It was actually really good, there are some serious problems with continuity but the characters are handled really well.Great performances all around.If you meant continuity with the original trilogy, that was intentional as there were things the director wanted to do that contradicted what had come before, but he thought "f*ck it" as the comics ret-con things all the time, so in a way, he's staying true to the source material.

Guest Beefhead Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Yeah I know, still bugged me a little. Like the fact that beast is blue already in this and we see him still normal as a grown man in X2. Really not majorly important things just nitpicks but I enjoyed the hell out of first class.

Guest MartynJ Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hopefully they might make sequals to frst class mayby to understand how the beast is normal in X2 and blue in the prequal, like it told you how mystic stays young in the last stand and in frst class she's same age as Pro x and magneto they coud easly shut our contracticting mouths up lol But as for Wolverine i still dont know why make a sequal to that because at th end of origins there nearly in the same timelime as the first xmen film but i supose they'llmake somat up about hi been some lone ranger kind of guy tryin to find his memory and kickin new baddie mutant arses,but it will be hard to put some original characters into it, mayby gambit or his brother etc.. Still think 2 sequals to The first Class will do million times better so they can explain the pro x and magnetos feud get sronger and explain how the young xmen come together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really not majorly important things just nitpicks but I enjoyed the hell out of first class.I think, with that one, having Hank McCoy on the screen was just a bit of fan service to make us go "Oh, it's Beast." They could easily get round that by it being old footage (unlikely) or not the Hank McCoy we know and love. If you want to really stretch likelihoods, it could foreshadow Dark Beast.Hopefully they might make sequals to frst class mayby to understand how the beast is normal in X2 and blue in the prequal, like it told you how mystic stays young in the last stand and in frst class she's same age as Pro x and magneto they coud easly shut our contracticting mouths up lol But as for Wolverine i still dont know why make a sequal to that because at th end of origins there nearly in the same timelime as the first xmen film but i supose they'llmake somat up about hi been some lone ranger kind of guy tryin to find his memory and kickin new baddie mutant arses,but it will be hard to put some original characters into it, mayby gambit or his brother etc..

Kam 243 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I watched this yesterday, thought it was excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC 536 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 I thoroughly enjoyed it too, Kam. The two cameos are nicely done (and don't overstay their welcome), the action is great and Kevin Bacon is awesome as Sebastian Shaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Icon 152 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Would like to have seen more of the first cameo, but it was the best line of the film. Overll not too bad much better than Wolverine and X-3 the last two films. Misses the actors you are used to in x-men films though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dante Spears Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Holy hell, I'm like speechless. My friend described this as the best superhero film he ever saw and I thought he was blowing smoke. But I honestly can"t think of one as good as this one. This is one of the best films I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Icon 152 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Off the top of my head, and of course some would disagree, Batman (89),the dark night, spiderman 2, blade and maybe blade 2, superman (Chris Reeve version) to name but a few I consider better.

Guest The Beltster Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I thought the 2 newest Batman movies were horrible. Dark Knight was shite. There are a few super hero movies I prefer, but not many. I'm not a big super hero mark. I thought XM First Class was wicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saz Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Must admit I thought this was going to be the drizzles... but pleasantly surprised. I'm with Belty on Dark Knight, it was WAY too long a movie and I can't help but feel half of the "genius" layed upon it was due to Heath Ledger's death. I mean as soon as Michael Jackson died, everyone forgot he'd been in court twice for child molestation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Icon 152 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Muh I liked Dark knight, but I didn't like Batman begins as much. True Dark Knight was long but it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dante Spears Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Dark Knight was only good because of Heath Ledger, take it away and it was just dull. Never seen Blade, and I just don't generally care for Superman or Batman in general. Batman is always the least interesting thing he is in and Superman is just boring because part of superhero movies is the suspension of disbelief and when your superhero is immortal you just can"t lose yourself and view the enemy as a threat.

Guest Phil Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I actually quite enjoyed the newest Superman film, moreso than The Dark Knight. I thought Begins was awesome, TDK was a real let down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris 190 Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 Superman Returns was okay until they started all that gumph with crystals. Then it just got confusing. And don't even get me started on his asthmatic super spawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
