Looks awesome. And I can't help but feel bad for Elliot! Er, I mean Beast.

I am loving the new Banshee and Havok, even from the trailer they seem to have a certain amount of depth to them, such as Havoks fear of his power meaning he voluntarily contains himself.

Looking forward to it.
Personally I prefer the comic book banshee due to the accent, but yeah this'll do. ^_^

Question about Havok though, he's Scott's brother, Scott's younger brother no less. So ummmm...

Also, that twirly hoola hoop thing looked terrible. His was probably the only trailer I didn't enjoy. (PS, there's a new Mystique one for people to check out.

Wait isn't Banshee Irish? Also I remember that for beast anyway when he first joined the team he was originally a High School Football player, not some skinny stereotypical looking nerd.
With CHARISMA! Where're his constant quotations and massive ego? Ah well, they are aiming at changing it a bit, for example, Emma Frost is no longer hot.

You know, if you really don't like the team dynamic, go watch the X-Men anime that's currently ongoing. Plenty of Cyclops/Storm/Wolverine/Beast action there, and it even has Emma Frost. It's even set right after X3 (basically), so it's not about origins stories anymore.

Personally, I like these trailers. It reminds me a lot of the Mass Effect 2 promotional videos foe the allies.

Whether the movie is good or not remains to be seen. I hope that they give every character a chance to shine, then consider further films about select characters. If it is a good movie, that is.

The list of problems with this movie is honestly huge....

To the one person on the first page that got it right... the frist class IS Cyc, Gean, Beast and Iceman. But Fox already draged their collective testicles across the story and desided that continuity was no longer something they wanted to follow.....

Havoc Problem 1: is Cyclops' LITTLE brother, Problem 2 : he doesn't shoot holla-hoop lasers, it is projected(absorbed from the sun) plasma that he generates from his chest and channels through to his arms where he blasts out at things though he can just blast like the guyver suit from his chest he does it often in the comics mostly at his brother when he's pist at Scott... scott by the way being the only person able to withstand the blasts due to being brothers, they blast each other(recharging the one being blasted) who then blasts the former back and repeating over and over till neither are wearing any clothes because they've been blown to smithereens.

Banshee is Irish so ya Fail there, also he was a bit more aware and in control of his power by the time Prof found him. And last I knew and read comics he could fly without yelling. In fact most of the ones I have have him talking normally to someone else flying next to him

Raven Darkholm... everyones favorite shapeshifter.... is already established in the series as much younger, then she would be if projected forward from this movies position.. and now they are making her younger then in the first three debacles and rewriting her origin.

beast is the only one I like so far.

Magneto's Helm is finally accurate(though you don't see it in these clips.

All in all due to the lengthy add I got to see at the Thor-tastic-movie-gasim I will NOT being seeing this installment or any future FOX releases of X-Men movies they keep screwing my favorite comic book up and i refuse to continue to reward them for their failures with my money, and will wait patiently for Paramount to let Marvel Studios do it right. Saddly it is going to mean for all of us a reboot... but gives marvel the freedom to do crossover movies like they plan and to have 1 giant continuity which I can't wait for :)

As far as I am concerned the three X-Men movies was butchered when they turned Rogue into an insecure and harmless high school student to fit the 1st movies' idiotic storyline. The rest of it just followed the dribble!!!

But this movie is turning uncool x-men like banshee into something cool not like the previous x-men stories that turned cool x-men into boring helpless drama plotlines!!!

Also the casting for Magneto and Dr X looks fantastic!

love the tone of the trailers so far, and all the new characters
sure I love Wolverine and that helped my opinion of the other movies
but I'm liking their rebuilding and introducing of these characters

Last I checked, First Class referred to the original team of Cyclops, Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), Ice Man, Beast, and Angel.

Why do you do this to us Fox? WHY?!
To be fair, we do still have beast and instead we have cyclops' brother (Havok)...atleast, last i checked he was cyclops' brother. If i'm wrong, then don't hesitate to correct me, i havn't read much of the comics.
yeah Havok was his brother but...well I guess here he's more like Cyclops' father or ungle lol

It couldn't be placed right after X3 since in that Cyclops was killed off right in the beginning of the movie.
