Vaughn Set to Deliver 'X-Men: First Class' in June 2011 Fox describes X-Men: First Class as the beginning of the X-Men saga, following Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr before they became Professor X and Magneto, respectively. The story sees Xavier and Lensherr working together with other mutants to fight off a great threat. During this battle, the two mutants grow apart, ultimately resulting in the war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men. X-Men: First Class is the fifth entry in the X-Men series and second prequel, following last summer's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which opened to $85.1 million and ultimately closed with just under $180 million. The X-Men series began in 2000 with X-Men, which grossed $157.3 million. X2: X-Men United banked $214.9 million three years later, with 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand completing the initial trilogy with $234.4 million (the highest grossing entry in the series). Overall, the series has made over $1.5 billion worldwide. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=2756
The original trilogy was great, very underrated. Then X-men Origins: Wolverine was a piece of ****, so I don't know what to think of this
Wolverine is a disgrace to superhero movies. I wonder if this prequel will follow suit. Honestly I think it's probably gonna disappoint. Unfortunately I'll most likely go see it, since I'm a sucker for superhero movies. Heck I even downloaded Sky High just cus I ran out of superhero movies to watch.
Wolverine was freaking horrible. HORRIBLE. 25 years of waiting for that movie and it was absolute crap. Jackman was great in the first couple of X-Men but I would have no qualms about them rebooting Wolvie as a franchise and doing it right. Screw Fox. Blah.
I would not say that I enjoyed it. I particularly like the characterization of SabreTooth The actor did a good job with him Rocket River
I also liked Sabretooth, but he is usually a pretty good actor. The story was crap, just not interesting at all.
The triology was horrible! The first movie was decent, second movie was good, and the third was straight up garbage.
I think that is the sad of it all. That Actor, Jackman and the guy who played the general did good jobs [I even like they guy playing WADE aka Deadpool] Will.i.am - not so much The guy playing the blob was ok too. The story was a bit weak. The gambit intro was unnecessary I think they pushed too many character in there. I think a Sabretooth and Wolverine movie would have been adequate then added the other stuff later. Rocket River
The movie is supposed to be released in about a year and we don't even know who's acting in it yet? Doesn't sound promising to me.
Also it was anything but dark which is all I heard Jackman crying about in interviews. It also focused on what felt like such a boring story. Like you said, do a Sabertooth or maybe even Omega Red only based movie and keep things simple. Instead you have your Omega Red actor playing the lead villain in Iron Man 2.
It was dumb that they killed Professor X, and killed Cyclops without mentioning anything until like an hour after it happened. The movie was horrible, and Wolverine made me laugh. especially the scene where he's in the bathroom looking at his claws and they are so badly CGI'ed that it almost looks cartoonish.
Actually X-Men 3 was a POS. It was fun movie but as an X-Men movie it's a POS. That's not how Dark Phoenix should've been handle. I will try to catch Kickass tomorrow to see if Vaughn good enough. But I'm sure he's very capable and a superior director to the dumb ass Ratner. But my main concern about Vaughn is that he's going to be Fox little b**** since Kickass isn't doing well at all at the box office and idiot Rothman is going to fck it up like they did with Wolverine.
More X-Men and more fighting scenes doesn't make up for a weak plot, no character development, and not to mention the fact that they they ruined the comic book story line.
You will LOVE Kickass. Please post back in this thread after you see it and I dare you to tell me you didn't. Kickass > X3 by a mile.
I thought the plot was fun (which is what i want from an superhero movie). And character development? It was the 3rd film in a series, did they need to develop the characters any more? I never read comic books, nor do I know anyone that ever did, so it never bothered me.
