I finally saw X-Men: First Class

[aquatroy]

Cap, X-Men 1st. Class, Green Lantern (Director's Cut), Then Thor.

I was also surprised at how good 1st. Class was. Randy Professor X made me laugh. Best movie Magneto ever. Still wish they had used the original 5.

I would love to see FF get the 60's reboot treatment.

That's funny, I finally watched it last night myself (picked up the Blu-ray during the Black Friday sales). I thoroughly enjoyed it, thought it was very well done and had lots of clever parts.

Really, really enjoyed it. I think they could/should have adhered a little closer to the period (and I also miss the original 5) but overall it was a very fun watch.

I watched it at the theaters. I really hated it. I took my boys to see it, and they liked it, so that's all that mattered.

Put me down as a big fan. I loved the retro stylishness of it, something new in a superhero movie.

Yeah it was a great movie wasn't it...I thought it has been the best comic movie thus far.
It has a real old fashion comic book feel to me.

I LOVED X-Men:First Class! But like you guys I wish they had used the original 5, but oh well...still an awesome movie! I rated it 2nd behind Captain America...Cap was exactly what I wanted it to be. It was the perfect Super Hero movie!

I thought the lack of the original 5 (well, minus Beast) would bother me, but in the end it didn't. Once I accepted that this worked within the movie continuity (mostly), and that Cyclops could have a brother that much older than him, I was okay. I think the movie was way too compelling to worry about such things.

Fassenbender lived up to all the hype you guys gave him in previous threads. The man would make a great Batman, Dr. Doom and an excellent James Bond. Basically any intense character who needs to dominate the screen.

The period nature of the movie was very nice. It felt a bit like a classic Bond film at times.

Again, a GREAT movie!

[Thor]

I saw it about a month ago and loved it.

Fassbender would be perfect to play Cable.

Actually, the more I think about what an earlier post said, Fassbender would make a really good Bond villain!!!

[The Bat]

Well, as Chris just mentioned...I think Fassbender would make a GREAT James Bond.

[Earth 2 Chris]

I like Daniel Craig, but when he's ready to retire, I think Fassbender would make a great Bond. He's more classically handsome than Craig (who's a bit thuggy looking), so he gives you the more sophisticated, elegant Bond of Moore and Bronsan, but he can obviously play the killing machine bad-arse exemplified by Craig and Connery.

Has anyone heard what the plans are for a follow-up to First Class? Will MacAvoy and Fassbender return in a film set after this one? I sure hope so!

I know that the Singer and Vaughn have talked about moving the timeline up a decade or so(80's perhaps?) for the next movie. And Vaughn has said that he's only adding one new X-Man. I hope it's Cyclops!

My God, wouldn't that be great!?

I can almost enjoy FF1, but Doom's casting/characterization kills it for me...

How wonderful to see Evans later as Cap, though.
