I am now screwed in my movie-watching for the rest of the year because I'll be so hard-pressed to find something that doesn't make me say, "It was good, but it was no X-Men: First Class." I will go to comedies, but doubt I will erupt into applause again at ...

Did you like the first two X-Men movies? Me too. X-Men 2 is one of the best comic-book movies of all time in my opinion. Let’s not kid ourselves though, the last third of those first two X-Men movies weren’t great, turning into a muddled mess that was poorly edited ...

Yes, I know there's a ton of reviews ... but I thought I'd share my own (: so please be nice!    About  In the 1960's, mutants are unheard of and the incredible gifts they have are unknown to the world, that is, until villainous Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) and his righthand ...

Okay considering the film isn't out in the states yet, I'll be diplomatic and split this review into two parts, one spoilery and one non spoilery..  So the non spoilery..  GO SEE THIS MOVIE! Absolutely Xcellent (Ive been saying it all day) It really is a breath of fresh air ...

In many ways, “X-Men: First Class” is a film that makes sense. Not particularly in reference to the film’s plot per se, but rather in its creation. After the rather dismal reception of 21 Century Fox’s last X-Men outing, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, it made sense for the studio to commission ...

There was a moment early enough in the movie when I said to myself ‘this movie isn’t just a brilliant superhero movie, it’s just simply a brilliant movie’. And as the movie went on and on I believed this more and more. X-Men: First Class mightn’t make the most money ...

  Film: X-Men: First Class Director: Matthew Vaughn Written By: Ashley Edward Miller, Zack Stentz, Jane Goldman, Matthew Vaughn (Screenplay); Sheldon Turner, Bryan Singer (Story) Distributor: 20th Century Fox Run Time: 2 hours 12 minutes Starring: James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Kevin Bacon It could be very tempting to ...

I have to say that this movie was one of the best reboots that I have seen and probably helped save the X-Men franchise considering the bomb that they had X3: The Last Stand and the so-so X-Men Origins: Wolverine.What truly impressed me was that they chose to focus on ...

   X-Men: First Class (2011) Review   The amount of comic-book movies baffles me that persist this year with successful blockbuster comic book movies such as Thor, Green Lantern and Captain America hitting in theatres this year.  Ever since Dark Knight, comic book movies has become more grandeur in producing high budget films ...

When I sat down in the theater to watch Matthew Vaughn’s reboot/spin-off/remake/slightly-related-to precursor to Bryan Singer’s X-Men films, I realized that the film no longer wanted anything to do with what I like to call “Old Marvel.” Instead, the film that Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, Layer Cake) directs isn’t so much ...

Good lord. Where do I even begin with X-Men: First Class? There is almost too much to say. This is one of those films that completely vindicates Hollywood’s current focus on the superhero genre. Not only is it exciting, with plentiful fast-paced, superpowered action, often on an epic scale, but ...

Spoilers ahoy! X-Men: Photoshop Class Despite the image above, I was really keen to see this film. I'm no comic book fan, but the X-Men are right up there with my favourite super heroes. The excellent trailers reinforced my excitement leading up to seeing this movie, but as I sat ...

When you think about it, this was a pretty remarkable year for films based on Marvel comics. No real classics, but they effectively build up The Avengers for next year, and they managed to put out three films without any of them stinking, or even being less than pretty good ...

Plot: The origin story of X-Men. Charles Xavier, a powerful telepath gathers together other, young, mutants to stop the threat of Sebastian Shaw's (Kevin Bacon) evil mutant regime. Pun Provoking: X-Men: First Class is certainly a title that does not entirely live up to its printed name. Matthew Vaughn's direction ...

 Those who know me know how how much of a stickler i am for original canon. Every comic movie has irked me in at least a dozen ways with their pointless and unintelligent changes to the wonderful works of art they draw from.   The friend i saw the midnight ...

I have always been a fan of the X-Men.  The original trilogy was not amazing, but it was entertaining and captivating.  The comics are usually not as good as Avengers or Thunderbolts, but I still read them.   Sadly, for the fifth installment in the X-Men film series, Fox picked ...

My video review of X-men : First Class.      

Probably my favourite X-Men movie, really exceptional all around; acting; story; characters, it was all good! I really like how they implement the Cold War into the core plot and had it work to their advantage, very interesting stuff. The movie has ton of stars in its cast that all ...

X-men First Class when first announced I thought the idea was outright awful. Another origin story, terrible casting, stupid and pointless characters that just didn't add up continued to bug me and I became less and less interested in seeing it. Then the trailer was released and I started to ...

Now going into this movie when it was annouced and everything was coming out about it, casting director everything I was not very happy. I had faith in Mathew Vaughn and his crew as well as James MacVoy and Michael Fassbender playing Prof X and Magneto but the idea of ...

When I first heard that Fox was going to reboot the X-men films with a younger cast playing younger versions of the traditional heros, I must say I was less than impressed at the idea. I had enjoyed the previous X-Men films, yes even Origins Wolverine, and wanted any new ...

Hollywood prequels have a less than spotless record in terms of the quality. Usually a trilogy of movies declines in quality as it progresses and further attempts to milk the franchise further end up in disaster. Happily I can report that this is not the case with X-Men 1 Class. ...

X-Men First Class was an uncertainty of mine from the very beginning. I loved the first two X-Men movies and felt that the series dragged after those. I was excited for the prospect of a new film in the series and was not disappointed at all in the end. Matthew ...

My hopes and aspirations of an amazing Marvel film have finally been reached.  Like Spider-Man before it, (which will be ten years old next year), "X-men: First Class" is probably the best prequel/reboot since, well, "Batman Begins".   It hits every right note perfectly, and besides a few questionable things, it ...

X-Men: First Class restores glory to the lately-troubled film franchise in its successful attempt at rebooting the franchise entirely, after the original trilogy ended on a rather sour note and the Wolverine spin-off failed to rekindle the magic of the first two films. The film is, of course, a prequel ...

Rack this up as the second superhero surprise of the year... and even more so than Thor, in my view, because Fox still controls X-Men and so we have been trained to expect less and less from the franchise.   But, damn... did this rock, or what? Basically, what you have ...

Since first inception of the X-Men series, the franchise has been abundant with modern day allegories to racism, protest rights and civil rights movement in the 1960s. Two forces on the same side are oppressed by a new type of segregation between mutants and non-mutants. Charles Xavier's X-Men believe change ...

X-Men: First Class is a great superhero movie, and it is the best summer movie of the year so far. It's funny, because it's also the best superhero film since last year's Kick-Ass, since both are directed by the same mind - the mind of Matthew Vaughn, one of the ...

It had not been very long after the Marvel studios movie "Thor" had come by and there was this new X-Men First Class released. I feel Marvel studios is doing a fantastic job bringing their most popular comic characters and teams on to the silver screen.Let me give a brief ...
