Is 'X-Men: First Class' the Best 'X-Men' Movie So Far?

how it all started? ofc I wanna see it!

I really liked the characters havoc and beast! But they were all cool :)

Best story ever and best acting, thanks to the incomparable James McAvoy. There was even a nod to my favorite X-Man, Wolverine.

Watch this and you will see the original three in a different light. It's that good.

It was my favorite. I absolutely loved it!

I don't know have'nt seen it

I am always going to love the original series more. I just can't stand to see X-Men without Hugh Jackman and Halle Barry :(

Since I haven't seen it, I dunno. But I doubt I'll like it. The only one I like out of any of them was the first movie, and that's only slightly.

I don't like movies revolving around teenagers. So many are so bad at acting D:

well so far everyone of my friends have said yes so most likely but then again all my friends want to see Transformers 3 and I'd rather not see that jackass Shia...

Haven't seen the movie yet.

Anything is better sans Halle Berry.

There were a lot more mutants and the history between Magneto and Professor X and Mystique and Beast was so cool to see. I definitely recommend it.

it looks like

hell yes!(except maybe X Men Origins Wolverine, but that doesn't really count) I was completely disappointed with what they did with the last series of crap they called the X Men movie trilogy. this one actually gives me hope that they're maybe going to do this series right!

I was extremely surprised with the movie. The first few previews I saw didn't seem promising and the promo images less so, but when I actually saw the film, I was surprised at how well the plot went and how the actors portrayed the characters.

it was good however i dont think it is the best.

I want to see it first....I just don't understand why so many movies are "going backward" in their story-telling

it's a reboot. they're going to make a whole nother series of X Men movies, starting with this one.

oh ok...cool

I really like it I saw it online for free.

It was good though :)

The characters just seemed more "real" this time.

I was entertained the entire time, and thats rough going into the movie knowing how its going to unfold, so I went in hyper critical, but I Loved it all the way through, especially the Wolverine scene.

I LOVED it,can't wait for the sequal already

idk ddnt c the movie yet

I watched it recently and was dissapointed. It looked like they were running out of mutations. It was neat to see the setup of the characters but I found it a bit boring during most of the movie. It felt like something was missing.

what the hell does that even mean?

Oh, well, I meant that I was somewhat disappointed to see the mutations being repetitive. That guy that could shoot the laser out of his chest was pretty much cyclops and the stripper with wings... I think they were just aiming for more crowd appeal. Understandably, The recurring characters had the same powers. That made sense. It was also nice to see how the relationship between the characters formed for the other movies. That's what I meant by "the setup". When I said it was boring, I mostly meant that the lines were corny and most of the characters weren't very dynamic. They were pretty stagnant which sort of made it more of a dry movie. When I said it was missing something, I actually don't know what the something was. Maybe Wolverine is to X-men what Captain Sparrow is to Pirates of the Caribbean. It would just be lame without them. I don't know about all that though. I mean the action wasn't bad, it was just predictable for the most part. Maybe it's because we all know how it will end.

the guy that could shoot the laser out his chest was Alex SUMMERS, Havok, Cyclops's younger brother. as for Angel, the as you say, "stripper with wings", there really was an Angel Salvadore in the X Men comics with those exact powers, an underappreciated, minor character, which made it nice toi see them actually include her in the movie. & as for that being repetitive, I don't think I remember any other fly-like mutants in the other movies. wings, yes, but feathery angel wings, not fly wings, & no fly-like powers on the angel winged mutant, either.

meh, I'm not much of a comic person. Her fire-shooting power wasn't exactly fly like either. thanks for the explanation though. Doesn't change the fact that it felt like something was missing.

HAVE TO SEE IT FIRST. WAS IT GOOD?

Personally, I would place it at the opposite end of that spectrum.

Well i havent seen it yet
but i heard it was so im really hoping so! :D

I never got into the X Men franchise, even when I saw the movies, though I hate how they killed off about half the characters in the third film.

It's part of a series, and adds bits of fill-in info to round out the stories. I thought the actors were so different looking from their older selves as to be unrecogniseable, unlike the Star Trek movie, where the actors were very much like their older selves, and I personally found it hard to separate the young spock from the old spock, though Jim and Scottie were a bit different from the older versions. I shall buy it when it gets cheaper, as it completes the set. I liked the 'dragonfly' winged girl, nice idea. I personally would like a sequel to 'Alice in Wonderland', which I found better than this

No debate. I've loved the comics since I was a girl; the movies improved substantially as the years passed, and this one is definitely the best, or one of the best, anyways. Magneto was brilliant! Never thought his character would be so clear. So was Beast and basically all the other X-Men.

There was, as there will always be, some inaccuracies, especially when it came to Angel (the winged girl) and Magnet's adulthood. But they were few, and tolerable.

Oh-and James McAvoy is also SHOCKINGLY handsome.

Don't know. I haven't seen it yet.
