X MEN FIRST CLASS TRAILER

[Gotham Knight]

I was happy that, while this film can be a little clunky and vague as an origin feature, it brought back a sense of sincerity and coherency, and though I haven't seen enough times to give it an in depth critique, I will say my soul was mended. X-3 hurt me... badly. It is very awesome to have a good X-Men movie again with Bryan Singer contributing to it WITHOUT a reboot happy studio pushing the button.

I saw the film a week or so ago. And I really enjoyed it. The best of the franchise by far, IMO. The origins aspect worked a treat, because we connected with the characters a lot more, and it provided entertaining and poignant moments of self discovery. The film struck a nice accessible balance in that sense. It was fun without being cheesy (ala Nolan era humour), and also dark and serious when needed. And when that tense stuff goes down, it's Fassbender up close and personal. He had such a strong presence throughout the film. He meant business, and indeed, would make a solid James Bond when Craig hangs up his PPK. The 1960s vibe worked for me big time as well. The fact it passed off so well (the interiors and overall look) was quite a feat for a 2011 film. I'm not saying it's a perfect film, but I cannot see how any short comings outweigh the positives. I will go as far as saying First Class is one of my favourite comic book adaptions. I hope they follow up with a sequel.

Agreed with everyone praising the film. This is maybe the best X-film to date. I can't wait for it to be released on BluRay to experience it again!
