Fans of the movies should appreciate how Matthew Vaughn has established characters they love in a unique setting with a strong cast and set pieces as big and impressive as the other movies.
An action blockbuster with rollercoaster thrills and laughs that has a fundamentally intelligent core.
First Class is ultimately a success, because not only does it reward fans, but it redeems a series that gave the superhero genre its start.
This grandiose globetrotting fantasy boasts plentiful action spectacle and effective character-based drama set in an age of civil unrest and Cold War paranoia.
Coulda fooled me. Everything they've released looked like dog shit.Excluding January Jones :heartbeat
It would be Rose Byrne for me. I was going to see this just because I adore her and would become her sex slave at the drop of a hat.I didn't even know she was in the movie. Or I just completely forgot.
um, put that in a spoiler box.
Sorry, I suppose. Figured it was public knowledge that was in the film.It would be Rose Byrne for me. I was going to see this just because I adore her and would become her sex slave at the drop of a hat.I didn't even know she was in the movie. Or I just completely forgot.
Well now you know!
Is Samuel Jackson in this?

Go see it and help get the sequel made. Reading about the planned opening scene for the sequel is my reason to watch it the first weekend.

And what might that be for those not in the know?
Alright so a certain someone's cameo sounds awesome and is also the first time an F bomb has been dropped in a PG-13 Marvel movie.spoiler (click to show/hide)Xavier and Magneto globetrot to recruit mutants. They find Wolverine in a bar. Before either one can say a word Wolverine tells them to go fuck themselves.
That's just awesome.[close]

she was not chosen

There was a rumor of a Magneto Origins movie some years back, and after seeing how young Erik was portrayed in this film, I wish they would have went with that instead of First Class. 1960's Magneto going around hunting down nazis would have been awesome.

Eh, it'd be pg-13 and that really doesn't work for that.
Although man, First Class reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally pushes the edge of PG-13. A decade ago this would have been R rated for sure. There's so much graphic violence and some of it is pretty dark like Kick-Ass.
Sometimes I don't think anyone gets me :(

The supporting mutants were lousy, specifically Darwin, who was the first Mutant causality and, coincidentally, also the only Black member of the team. Refreshing to see racist overtones in 21st century film-making all but extinguished.
The movie had some serious continuity issues:
That red Nightcrawler was a cop out to appease the Nightcrawler fans, obviously.
Not doing too hot at the box office. $100 million in 10 days, which puts it at about the same as the first movie [that ended up at $157 million]. The real problem is that First Class cost more than twice as much as the first movie. It's also lagging behind Thor.
The Red dude was not Nightcrawler, though. Azazel is actual Hellfire Club member in the comics.

I really enjoyed it, even though January Jones was totally lifeless and a disgrace to Emma Frost.yeah but did you see her tits

He must be a recently-created character, 'cuz I sure as hell didn't recognize him. The "Hellfire Club" was barely recognizable in this movie anyway, though. Too bad we couldn't get the original Inner Circle.
