I finally saw X-Men: First Class

It is a surprisingly good flick, just wished they had re-booted and used the the originally 5 line-up.

What a great movie. I know, I know, I should have seen it in theaters. There are only so many summer movie opportunities. And in a summer booked full of new comic adaptations, a 5th X-Men movie was low on the totem pole.

But again, this is a great movie. So much better than X3 and Wolverine (which I still enjoyed, despite their obvious flaws). Casting was spot-on, story was riveting. The effects were well done and NOT distracting or over-CGIed.

Loved the two little cameos (especially the first one!). How that was not spoiled for me in all the threads on this movie I have no idea.

I still put Captain America at the top of this year's summer movie heap, but I think I have to place this right behind it.
