this movie looks like garbage, its supposed to be about the creation of the xmen. it doesnt even follow the original storyline, cyclops and gene grey were apart of the original xmen, i dont understand how marvel and hollywood have access to hundreds of stories from the comics and yet they choose to go there own route and create a storyline up themselves......alot of the characters arent even popular xmen characters... i will not watch this!

The helmet looks more like the comic one than the Ian McKellen one.

true, but IM is Magneto and the other one is someone in a comic con?

I have faith in this movie even tho it looks like total fail.

Don't be quick to judge based on 2 images.

Remember when Michael Keaton was the first Batman in 1989? People wrote letters and had petitions to cast someone else.

And of course we all know what everyone thought of Heath Ledger when they first cast him.

Marvel Studio's intentions for this movie is to make it dark and serious. So as long as they have a good story and good acting, they'll be fine.

Don't judge a book by it's cover i guess.

pretty sure this is about when xavier and magneto came up with the idea of xmen. It's when they were best friends wanting to create a new world but had two different visions of the new world which caused them to drift apart and become enemies. (which is the original storyline) I doubt this is an xmen origins type of movie that they made up.

By the way, a lot of the characters in here are popular with xmen fans. The hellfire club? Sebastian Shaw? Emma Frost? Moira? These are all major characters in the xmen universe... I don't think you're actually a fan of the comics.. just a fan of mainstream xmen like cylcops and wolverine.

Exactly why so many people are upset.

I'm a nerd and am looking forward to this.

I'm also looking forward to the story. I'm just worried about the acting/casting. I hope that the directors are real fans of the comics too.

So it sounds like FOX is trying to get a 'Twilight' thing going with this movie (pandering to lil girls) they were even trying to cast some guys from Twilight to act in this film (taylor lautner) and they're even trying to re-cast a guy they got to play Beast because they think he's too old (28)

twilight huh... WOW

I hope they put morph into this movie. that kid had a tough life and I think he deserves some part into the x-team

Oh I never really read the comics but i did which the original series as a kid and have done research on the past xmen storylines. the story is infact about magneto and xavier and there visions of how to create the new world. but i dont believe those characters were the ones involved in the original storyline from the comics. correct me if im wrong. my opinion stands on hollywood misinterpreting the storylines and making them untrue to the comics.

I don't remember that far back into the xmen but I know the hellfire club was around. I don't think it was with emma frost though.. Moira is definately there from the beginning since she was Xavier's gf when he was young. Beast and Havok shouldn't be there though. Other than that it's pretty solid.

X2

I remember getting so friggin excited when they teased us in one of the previous movies (can't remember which one! :( 2nd I think? ) where they are doing the simulation, and wolverine cuts the head of a sentinal off? So choked when it turned out to be a tease :(

it was xmen the last stand

^^ oh yea i remember now! thx :D


and is no1 disappointed that they're targetting the Twilight crowd???

I'm pretty sure Magneto and Emma were romantically involved while he/they were leading the Hellfire Club. There is also a storyline in which Professor X and her were involved before he created the X-men too.

Wiki says:

Fox envisions X-Men: First Class as the first film of a new trilogy.[37] Donner compared the franchise plans to the darker, more mature content of the Harry Potter film series.[46]

yeah I faintly remember those story lines.. Isn't Mag/Emma after the Xmen were created though? Can't remember!!! gotta go find the comics somewhere now haha

that article i linked has em quoting Fox ppl for going after the Twilight market + their actors (i mean it makes sense business wise but fan wise? ugggh)

Man they better not fuck it up. I mean you reboot something because they previous movie sucked right? It'd be sad to start fresh only to suck more than the movies they were rebooting from. *Cough* Street Fighter Legend of Chun-Li.

from the pictures.... imo james mcavoy doesn't really fit the look of Xavier.

I always seen Xavier having some asian in him. Don't know what it is. it was the eyes. Even Patrick Stewart looks like he had some asian in him. james mcavoy is as white as rice. why does he have hobo gloves on? infact why does he look like a hobo?

asian? wtf.. and Cpt. Picard looks asian! WTF

i do agree though... james mcavoy dosnt have that xavier presence

they should have gotten Tom Hardy since he played Picards clone in Star Trek Nemesis :D

but i guess since he's bulked up that wouldn't work too well (he could probably drop it and regain it in time for Batman like Christian Bale did though)

I swear to god that there were some shots in TNG that made picard look like he was mix with asian. especially when he was on Riza with that Vash chick.

This episode in particular i remember when he was younger he had an asian presence in him. Vash was hot by the way. fuck i'm a startrek nerd
