I liked it..Wolverine's brief appearance was hilarious..
But apparently if you stayed after the movie(which I know I didn't or most of you) it would've showed the black dude coming back. Still doesn't take from that fact they took his ass out quickly.
Smh at Beast ignoring signs of the ? being thrown at him though.
Best of all of the Xmen series as of now -

X-Men: First Place At US Box Office
But the mutants' power is weaker...
05 June 2011 | Source: Box Office Mojo
Professor Xavier and his young mutants might have the power to help save the world from nuclear war, but the X-Men franchise pre-boot (prequel reboot) First Class didn’t quite soar into the stratosphere, opening to a decent $56 million (unlike many other recent blockbusters, that's without a 3D price bump). Still, hopefully good word of mouth may mean it has strong legs.
Despite a hefty opening, negative buzz looks to have made The Hangover 2’s own legs a little wobbly, as the comedy sequel tumbled 62% on its second weekend, earning $32.4 million. Still, a huge launch around the world means that Todd Phillips and co won’t be too worried – it’s already on course to earn as much as (or more than) the original. Kung Fu Panda 2 slipped to third with $24.3 million, while Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides dipped to fourth with $18 million. Bridesmaids rounded out the top five, taking $12.1 million this weekend.
Thor fell one place to sixth, nabbing $4.2 million, while Fast Five was seventh with $3.2 million. Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris continued to do well as it added $2.9 million in eighth place. Ninth was Jumping the Broom, which took $865,000 and switched places with Something Borrowed, which went down to 10th and $835,000.
To hone your powers of statistics and earnings, head over to school at Box Office Mojo.

First of all i would ? every ? in that movie, can you say hot ? for days. lol
I thought the movie was dope as ? , it reminded me of Batman Begins in how they gave context and a foundation of how the superheros came to be known. I'm sure some of the stuff doesn't stick to the comic book per se, but i understand they have to fit it to a script and movie.I thought it was funny how Zoe Kravitz sold out with the quickness, ? didn't even think of it and Mystique got some low self esteem, ? fell for the first ? to show her some attention. Beast has no game, being nice to hoes and ? while Magneto come snatch your hoe.This movie was easilly the best one out of all the X Men story line, more continuity and storyline. I can't wait for a sequel, hopefully they bring in Appocalype and Sinister somewhere down the line.
Movie was ? epic, now it's time for me to go see if i can find nude pics of these ? in this movie. lmfao -

X-Men: First Class 2
Fox envisions X-Men: First Class as the first film of a new trilogy.[28] Lauren Schuler Donner compared the franchise plans to be similar to the darker, more mature content of the Harry Potter film series.[54] While speaking about the sequels, director Matthew Vaughn said, "First Class is similar to Batman Begins, where you have the fun of introducing the characters and getting to know them, but that takes time. But with the second one you can just get on with it and have a rollicking good time. That’s the main difference between Begins and The Dark Knight." -

lmao, really.... -
Loved the wolverine cameo. Dont like the rewriting of history though......
what he said....but the film was great though -
I'm with most people when the trailer looked uninterested but the movie was great. Also I think X2 was the least one I liked.
-
Azaezel was tight....suprised he was in thier since his character is pretty new and has no ties to the hellfire club in the comics....the rewriting of the comic books is not a favorite of mine but its keeps u guessing
-
go ? yourself... lol movie was cool though. Magneto is a ? ...

lol yo, I said "go figure, the stripper sells out everybody to save her own ass." At least that part of the movie was accurate... and am I the only one that caught subliminal racism in the movie minus both minority characters gettin ? off? like when Kevin Bacon was talkin about becoming slaves to humans or somethin like that, the camera IMMEDIATELY went straight to the black guy. All I could do was smgdh. -

but you got to remember... that ? was in the 60s so i could understand why bacon would say that and why the cameras went to darwin -

These “mutants” had two divergent leaders in Professor X, the MLK stand-in who believed humans and mutants could live together in harmony and Magneto, the Malcolm X radical who wanted mutants to rule over their inferior human counterparts. This has always been the crux of the X-Men storyline and compelling enough to maintain comic book’s most popular franchise for 50 years
Over the last decade, X-Men has gone Hollywood and with that came a new layer to the allegory: how genetic mutations are comparable to the ? rights battle. X2, directed by the brilliant Bryan Singer, featured a scene where one character has to “come out” to his parents. The scene is rather overt, but still handled well enough that the movie doesn’t yell out HEY THIS GUY’S ACTUALLY ? , THAT’S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT!!! Unfortunately, the third X-Men, directed by the halftard who directed Rush Hour 3 or some sh*t, was an abomination; a horribly illogical piece of convoluted mess that could might as well have yelled “BUTT SEX…does that make YOU uncomfortable” every time mutants talked about being “different.”
I totally sympathize and understand the desire to put the ? rights movement in the same realm as the Civil Rights movement, and I’m not one to argue about which group gets f*cked over worse. But I do contend that the latest installment of the X-franchise, First Class, opted to focus on the ? rights issues under (below) the surface in lieu of racial conflicts.
Let me make this clear: X-Men First Class was way better than it had any right to be. As I stated earlier this year, expectations where pretty low but the movie blew me away. It’s right next to X2 as the greatest X-film to date. For a full review with all the relevant film critiques and stuff I’m not smart enough for, you can go check out Vince’s house. I agree with his review and one sentence in particular stood out (mild, inconsequential spoiler alert): “Also, if you’re trying to be PC, you probably shouldn’t ? off the only black guy first, five minutes after you introduce him. Just saying.”
And really, my only major gripe with the movie comes from the one scene that seems to ignore the fact that the movie A.) takes place in 1962 when B.) being Black was generally considered not awesome.
The scene comes after a young crew of mutants come together for the first time. Five white kids and one African-American. Mystique, the mutant that’s born blue but can transform into any person she wants, complains about how her life is horrible because she looks different. Beast, who’s also battling a deformity called *gasp* BIG FEET, echoes Mystique’s frustrations. Basically, no one else in the room knows their plight.
When they said this, I tried to channel Professor X’s powers of telepathy to get Darwin, Black guy, to yell out, “? , I’m Black!!!” But he just sat there, looking like his mutant power was the ability to appear human while actually being the room’s lone elephant.
Later, in what has to be considered either a failure to master subtlety or horrible editing, the main villain talks about how humans will enslave mutants. As soon as he utters the word “enslavement,” the camera cuts to the token black guy and stays there for an uncomfortable amount of time. Ah yes, Black people were enslaved. We forgot.
From that point on, X-Men focuses on its ? rights allegory. However, the movie missed a grand opportunity to play the anti-mutant segregation against the backdrop of the real life racial segregation taking place in 1962. I understand what X-Men: First Class was trying to do by making the message largely about the ? rights struggle. But ignoring the racial issues that directly parallel – especially set in the midst of the mid-60s – is a glaring misstep that’s hard to reconcile.

yeah I noticed that too.they had kevin bacon look striaght at the black dude...it went along with the story line and era though....and yeah the black guy was killed quick and the black girl was a traitor...smokelahoma wrote: »lol yo, I said "go figure, the stripper sells out everybody to save her own ass."
