X-Men: First Class

More than just first class, it's one of the best superhero movies ever.

I am remarkably shocked by how well this film apparently turned out.

And a little bit disappointed; I was all set to hate this.

I'm going to see it next Wednesday on my birthday. Hopefully, I'll enjoy it.

Your description makes it sounds like something I'd like.

For the record, I'm a mental patient who liked X-men 3. I mean, not as much as 1 or 2, of course. But I liked it. Never saw Wolverine due to massive disinterest in the titular character.

Glad to hear that First Class is a higher grade of film than it's predecessors.
I hate your puns... Because I laugh at every single one of them...

It negates that awful piece of crap that was Origins: Wolverine? Gotta see this sometime soon.

Everybody is too harsh on the last stand.
It was fine for what it was.
True, it wasn't my favourite, but it's not a terrible abomination.

Woah, so it's not the lame-ass high school drama with whiny, good looking teenagers with awesome super powers bitching about how normal they are?! I'm going to see this.

Agreed. It was flawed but still enjoyable for me.

I saw this film today and while I didn't enjoy it as much as Bob did, it is deinetely a very good film.

YES! Thank god we've got out of that generic rut that was the last 2 films. I was hoping this would be the case, as it had license to go where it wanted to, being a prequel, and it follows Charles and Magneto, two of the most interesting characters. Also, up there with Dark Knight? Damn, this is a must see!

Sounds fantastic. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be getting to a movie theater anytime soon so I'll have to rent it.

But it is crap comparable to Spider-Man 3.

Well... I was not expecting MovieBob to give this a good review (I haven't seen it yet). It just seemed like Fox were making the movie simply to keep the rights to the franchise.

I...I don't know how to put this. I have for so long pegged this movie as a sure fire dud and to hear it even considered to be placed up with Dark Knight. I'm still not sold, but I'm certainly more interested then I ever was before.
