Kitsch could have definitely been a little bit more charismatic but the flick still works due to amazing special effects and some really fun and exciting action. Sad thing is that this flick was made for $250 million and won’t make any of it back. Not a must-see by any means but still a good one to check out for the fun of it.

Although I would go further and say First Class was the first good X-Men movie.<br /><br />The prior films went out of their way to highlight Wolverine above other characters and while yes; he's an fun character, the xmen comics and the animated series relied on the ensemble cast to give you differing stories and character arcs. In contrast I can only stand to watch roid rage wolverine before I'm bored. <br /><br />Their "best" character was quickly becoming the cancer of the film franchise. Thankfully First Class pulled them out of potential obscurity with a good script and quality acting from the top 3 male leads. I look forward to more quasi period piece X movies. Lastly, could January Jones be more wooden on her line delivery??<br /><br />4 out of 5 is right on. <br /><br />- VAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4808252057909464585.post-76632417670492649632011-05-11T01:45:14.220-05:002011-05-11T01:45:14.220-05:00BOOM!

It has an innocent girl using a fantasy world to escape her tormented reality... things can be said about abuse, expectations, societal norms... but sadly I fear that it will amount to nothing more than Snyder's perverse wet dream.
