Anyone else see this? It's definitely the best X-Men movie that has been made and I think it's probably the best "super" super hero film in recent memory. It at least deserves its own thread.

The selection of characters was great. Several of them were more recent creations like Azazel and Darwin, but they fit into the early period of the X-Men as well as Prof. X and Magneto did. Kevin Bacon was also pretty awesome as his role as the lead villain, Sebastian Shaw.

What did ya'all think?

I think I still need to see it. Heard it was good though.

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

It's definitely the best X-Men

Can't really agree. Without implying in any way that it's a bad movie it is definitely my least favorite of the series. Can't really give my reasons though without spoiling.

[Dimnos]

Umm... I still havent seen this but Im willing to bet my left nut it was better than X3. :rolleyes

[executioneer]

yeah i don't think you can top fucking up that badly on (a) Juggernaut or (b) Deadpool, so there's gotta be at least two movies worse

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

Ahhhhh I see. Comic book guys.

I have to admit that if I had already known these characters from marvel and they screwed them up in the movie then I would certainly have a different perspective. Being unburdened with any preconceived notions on what any of the characters should or shouldn't be put X3 higher on my list. What bothered me the most about First Class was actually a plot discrepancy between it and X3 but maybe X3 was the movie with the problem. I look forward to seeing if anyone else notices it and possibly finding out what the correct sequence of events should have been after everyone has a chance to see it.

[executioneer]

yes i am sure it is a surprise to find comics books guys on a website about things that were popular with children in the 1980s

[Pentegarn]

In other news, water is wet

Put it in a spoiler tag.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I feel like its going to end up in CAPSLOCK instead though.

:confused:
Not really sure where that's coming from or why I would be surprised. It was just an "ohhhhhh that's why they hate what's probably my favorite X-men movie... different perspective" and a nod that in your shoes I'm sure I'd feel the same. I really don't get how my validating both points of view can be taken negatively. :\

Not from me. Not ever. :)

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

Professor X becomes paralyzed in First Class but in two previous movies, X3 and Wolverine, a much older bald Professor X is seen walking. On a positive note... The wolverine cameo LMFAO.

[Pub Lover]

Easy the walking Xaviers were Skrulls.

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

Excellent point. I'm sure that's exactly how it will be resolved in X-men-X The Final X-planation.

Thanks Wikipedia.

[Dimnos]

In those movies the walking professor is inside someones mind. When he goes into someones mind he is not limited by his physical handicaps.

I don't read x-men comics. The movies have all just sucked at increasing levels until this one.

PS Did you think prof. X road around in a wheelchair in x-men, x2 and x3 just for laughs?

[Dimnos]

When I get old I plan on doing it. I hear they will let me cut to the front of lines at six flags.

[kahljorn]

:lol at dingus not being able to figure that out

The Twisted Toyfare Theater Professor X does

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

:lol at dingus not being able to figure that out
Ok how was Xavier walking with Magneto into Jeans house at the beginning of X3 and walking on Three Mile Island at the end of Wolverine when both scenes could only have taken place in the 1980s at the very earliest if he was paralyzed during the Cuban missile crisis of 1962?
Please feel free to figure it out for me. I still like the Skrull theory. ;)

[executioneer]

maybe first class is intended as a reboot/separate continuity from the other movies

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

Yeah that's what I was leaning toward when I said maybe X3 was the one with the problem and I look forward to knowing what the correct sequence of events was supposed to be.
At that point I hadn't even remembered that he was also walking around on Three Mile Island.

:confused:

Anyway... Other than that it was for me a pretty good movie

[Supafly345]

It looks better than all the previous xmen movies, although that isn't hard to do. But it has a director for once that isn't shit too.

[The Leader]

All film reviews should be brief and rhyme just like that.

[Dingus Knucklehumper]

This movie was great right up to the end where a plot hole developed I couldn't defend. :rock

That made me :lol

It's a reboot and the other ones sucked donkey donk anyways. ;>

[Dimnos]

X2 wasnt horrible.

[The Leader]

Fuck you.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

x2 was awesome.

[executioneer]

i didnt think the first one was all that bad, either

[The Leader]

I HATE YOU ALL WHY DON'T YOU AGREE WITH ME

[HickMan]

X2 was my favorite until this one came out. X3 and Wolverine were super shitty.

"Super Shitty"

[Dimnos]

Lets just not bring up the Wolverine movie. :(

[HickMan]

I think we should be allowed to incorporate the Wolverine movie into our discussion. As long as "Super Shitty" is involved in that same sentence. Agreed? Good.

But X-Men First Class is quite the opposite of Super Shitty. It's quite Un-Shitty, actually.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I really liked the first 15 minutes of Wolverine :(

[Fathom Zero]

There was a Wolverine movie?

[Dimnos]

Just stop that train of thought dude. You will be doing yourself a favor.

[Fathom Zero]

It's probably as bad as it sounds.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Its got ryan reynolds in it as wade wilson though <3

[Dimnos]

Yeah but after the first 15 min that become really sad. :(

[executioneer]

so sad :(

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

:(

[Dimnos]

:tear

[darkvare]

you are gonna make me cry guys :(

[AirJordan]

well X-Men is really awesome movie :) i guess :)

[testube]

this movie kicked serious ass unlike X-Men 3 which was total wet craps.

[kahljorn]

but dont wet craps kick your ass?

:(

[Pentegarn]

I don't think they kick your ass, maybe they slop your ass though. Does that count?

This thread is now about what wet craps do to your ass

X-Men First class is a nice movie.....

[k0k0]

X-Men First class is a nice movie.....

Why the fuck do all the spambots always choose this thread?

[Pentegarn]

Because only one of them was badass enough to choose the Battleship the Movie thread (http://www.i-mockery.com/forum/showthread.php?p=738847#post738847)

[dextire]

To be fair though, it is a nice movie.

[cartooncart]

This is the only X-Men move that didn't suck even if it did lack Gambit. Why hasn't Gambit been a main character in any of the X-Men movies? Please don't tell me I am the only one who thinks he is cool.

[darkvare]

maybe cause noone likes the french?

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

but gambit just got his own tv show
http://insidetv.ew.com/2011/12/15/pawn-stars-spinoff/

I GARROW TEE

[dextire]

And X2 didn't suck at all.

[executioneer]

neither did the first one, what are you on

x3 and wolverine origins were loads, but the rest of them have been solid as all get-out

[Sam]

FIRST X-MEN MOVIE SUCKED, SORRY WILLIE BUT FACTS IS FACTS.

[executioneer]

are you forgetting the part where wolverine flipped off cyclops w. his claw/called him a dick

[Sam]

I WISH I COULD FORGET IT.

[Zomboid]

The first two and First Class were all great. FUCK YOU, SAM!

[Sam]

THE SECOND ONE WAS GREAT, AND I HAVEN'T SEEN FIRST CLASS, BUT THE FIRST ONE WAS SUPER-WEAK. fuck you, zomboid.

[Zomboid]

FUCK YOU, YOU FUCKING SCUM!

[executioneer]

sam would you at least agree that in a group with x3 and wolverine origins it looks like a diamond next to two piles of dog turds

[Sam]

I WOULD SAY THAT IT'S BETTER THEN X3 AND WOLVERINE ORIGINS, BUT IT ISN'T NEARLY AS GOOD AS X2.

[Krythor]

I agree with Sam! I like the first half of the original, but the battle at the statue of liberty is too goofy.
