X-Men will hopefully bounce back next weekend after word of mouth spreads that its actually OK to like X-Men movies again. I know that I was very skeptical going in and kinda felt like I was taking a chance with First Class, so I can understand why people would want to keep their distance.
Hopefully that does happen because it is a solid flick and one bad X-men film is not enough to drown a franchise.
More Fassbender as Magneto would be great.
Not to mention, it was coming off as a follow-up to two films that were widely reviled by fans of the series. Also, it's a prequel, and more often than not, prequels only open the franchise up to the hardcore fans, as opposed to newbies. For the most part, prequels falter (consider Underworld Rise of the Lycans, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, The Scorpion King, even Terminator Salvation to an extent). Oh and the film wasn't nearly as heavily marketed as stuff like Thor or Fast Five.@MonkeysDad said:

Alex, buddy, we need to talk. This affectation where you say "[That | It | There]'s a thing" is fucking annoying and utterly meaningless. Find another way to get your apathy across.Yeah, it's starting to grate with me too. I know he was probably busy getting set for E3, but even so...
Next week's headline: "Some movies happened. And stuff".
I was thinking the same thing.
Despite good reviews, X-Men: First Class didn't have any huge names attached to it. Maybe that's why it was a disappointing opening. Of course $56 mil is huge, but not "summer blockbuster" huge.
