I was going into this movie thinking, 'How could they possibly retell the beginning of the X-Men any different than from the first movie'. Simple. Start with the two main characters of the legacy(Professor X, and Magneto). Make the story all about them discovering their abilities and growing up with the responsibly. Add in a few young supporting mutants that need guidance. Most importantly, base it around an event in history that actually took place. It gives it a sense of credibility. It is more than a hodge podge of characters fighting in a fantasy story. It adds the "what-if" factor.
I heard that someone stated that this movie would be as good as if not better than The Dark Knight. How does one judge that? I can't say that. I can say that you will most definitely like this movie. This movie will go down as the best movie in the X-Men franchise. The Dark Knight was more than just a "Super Hero Movie". You believed that those characters could be real because how the story seemed to be ripped from everyday reality. The same could be said about X-Men: First Class. It will keep you intrigued for the entire film. I give it an A -Awesome rating. To be a "Legendary" movie it needs to change the way movies are made and thought about. This one is close to that. It is very close.
UPDATE: IMPORTANT - DO NOT WATCH ANYMORE MORE CLIPS ONLINE OR ON TV FOR THIS FILM. A FEW SURPRISES ARE SPOILED
Side note:
Saw Hangover II last week. I thought it was entertaining. It is the same story as the first movie, and it was meant to be that way. The three main character are just a lot of fun. Their interaction together is what makes the movie a funny E-Entertaining movie. You would mostly enjoy it. Just don't expect anything new.
