AAAAAND just finished watching X-Men: First Class. Now I'm fully up to speed with my Marvel movies.
Fucking loved this movie. Ah, I remember how we all mocked it when it was first announced, and how Magneto with his helmet looked stupid in that picture. But this movie was awesome. After one viewing I'm not gonna say it's better than the others since I've enjoyed all the X-Men movies (Including 'Last Stand' and Wolverine), but this was definitely a great movie, which ended perfectly setup for a sequel.
Felt really tragic and sad throughout the whole movie, knowing how things will ultimately end up. Very much like how powerless we all felt watching the Star Wars prequel trilogy, knowing that Anakin will eventually turn into Darth Vader.
I have only one issue with this movie. Only one. It's small, it's silly, and it's really meaningless, but it's also fucking huge to me that from the moment I saw it, I couldn't stop thinking about it!!!
Just thought Beast looked really stupid and goofy in this movie! I can understand they were trying to capture more of a 90's-look Beast, before his mutation fully evolved and he looked more animalistic, but it really didn't translate so well on the big screen in my opinion. 'Last Stand' Beast looked fucking awesome, 'First Class' Beast looked really cheap and goofy.
Overall though, great fucking movie! Sequel apparently starts filming in January 2013! Can't wait for this!
