The thing that made 1st class the best X-Men flick was its backdrop against a real world event, the cuban missle crisis. The team behind it is following suit with the JFK assasination. Its gonna be piff, the x men were great because they were the Super trying to fit into the normal.

Acting was better. Dude who played Magneto was excellent... Xavier was good too.

Magneto is a hard person to portray. Since the key to Magneto is to not portray a Supervillian, but a Savior with good intentions but not finding the best course of action. Fassbender did a great job portrayed the tough guy, but you can tell he still had feels about that Holocaust situation with his mother. He just wanted a normal childhood, and losing his family didn't help.

The Magneto portrayed by Mckellan was written to be a straight up villain that you don't root for.

The Magneto portrayed by Fassbender was written to be an anti-hero that you do root for and like.

Man...the only thing that makes this watchable is the characters from First Class.....which IMO was the best Xmen.
:ld: dead tie with x-2 might tip it for the simple fact its the only x movie which story doesnt revolve around wolverine.The directing was great as well fuk all that human with extraordinary abilities garbage I like to see mutants act like mutants :yeshrug:

I agree. Other parts from X3 that I enjoyed:

  • It was cool seeing Charles and Eric in the flashback scene being friends.
  • Magneto moving the Golden Gate bridge.
  • The Iceman vs. Pyro was disappointing as it was basically a beam vs. beam war, but at least we got to see Iceman as Iceman for a few seconds.
That's about it. I wouldn't necessarily damn it in the court of law as much as Wolverine which had no redeemable qualities at all. Well...:patrice:...that one scene of Wolverine and company invading the compound early on in the movie was cool, I guess.

man fukk that movie :pacspit:

Magneto could've just gotten Jean Grey to destroy Alcatraz in one big swoop, instead......she just stands behind him the whole time. :snoop:

I get the good guys have to win but at least make it look somewhat believable

Soo let me get this straight: Because of how a costume looks, you all are already tossing the movie to the bushes? Lord have mercy. I really need someone to explain to me the correlation between a costume design and script quality, or direction, or acting. I'll wait
x-2 & f!rst class as!de, even though they have flaws... scr!pt & stor!es have been ass, cast!n & act!n/character portrayal has been mostly ass, character placement has been ass, ! guess v!sually !ts on po!nt... !t a!nt just the costume des!gn, !ts that on top of everyth!ng they fukk up !n every x-men mov!e they make, th!s stup!d look!n sh!t !s just too much.... !m all for chang!n sh!t around to modern!ze !t but they dont do that, !nstead of go!n w!t the format & mak!n adjustments here & there they make dumbass changes that make no sense....
...Colossus is a great character and i don't know why they have not brought him into the movies yet.
colossus !s on f!lm breh, he just a!nt do sh!t noteworthy..... he carr!ed a b!g tv w!t one arm then later helped the l!ttle k!ds escape them people when they !nvaded the school... he was on screen probably less than 5m!ns total & only used his power l!ke once....

X men 3 wasn't on Singer's watch and we all know that. And X1 was the first out of the gate so by definition it would be rough around the edges but characterization was not the problem with that flick minus Halle's misguided accent as Storm. For the most part, these flicks have been true to character, and by character I don't mean whether Ian is too old or Hugh is too tall, I mean the essence of the characters. Seriously, the costume shyt doesn't bug me because I would rather wait and see before making a judgement about something. Everyone makes knee jerk reactions as opposed to just waiting it out. So far there have been 3 good X men movies in my mind: First Class, X2, and The Wolverine

First class was casted perfectly except for Emma Frost, so i have no issues with the casting decisions there...but as far as the original trilogy...yeah they did have some bad casting decisions save for Jackman, Stewart, and Kelsey Grammar.

Edit: Forgot Nightcrawler...They did a good job casting that one too

:ehh: fair enough breh. My one knock on Wolverine is the 3rd act which went too big and felt like two different movies along with the silver samurai shyt but the rest of the movie is so dope I can't begrudge it. And yeah Halle doesn't work as Storm...and that's either because of whats on the page or because of her. Either way I'm still down for this

Why are they not bringing back the same director from first class?

Is it cause the old cast is involved Now?

That last scene with magneto turning the missiles around :ohlawd: probably the GOAT scene in the series

X3 to me was great, hated the first 2 not enough action.X3 put it all togethor, plus cyclops got merked. Always a plus for me.
