Jun. 4th, 2011 11:49 pmSaw X-Men: First Class with the usual suspects. It was definitely better than I expected, I think I enjoyed it more than the previous X-men movies. Well, its not hard to be better than the crappy X-3, but I think it was more cohesive than the first two as well.
There is one plot point that's pretty nonsensical (more on that later) but otherwise it was pretty well done. I think my favorite part was all the hot little outfits they had Emma Frost in. And this was definitely a better portrayal of her than in the Wolverine movie.
Actually, other than the previously mentioned plot point, there were a few creative liberties that were a little jarring. I mean, they had Xavier have a British accent in this because he had one when played by Captain Picard. But its kinda weird given it didn't seem like kid Charles had an English accent. Meanwhile, Moira Mactaggert and Banshee are both American. Also, Moira is a CIA agent in this instead of a doctor. So there's this scene where she first discovers the existence of superpowered people and is all, "I need to find an expert on genetic mutations!", so I turn to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
clevemire and say, "Someone like... herself?!"
I've spoiled a little so far, so I'll put more under a cut:
( spoiler cut )
Finally, another weird thing I found about the movie is all the "that guy"s in it! Its like its odd the sheer number of "that guy" actors in this playing random roles.
