X-Men:First Class
Blue Kitty:
Yeah, don't take her seriously. Read her review on District 9 for a good laugh.
Lupercal:
I thought this was a great film. I guess it helps that I really don't know much about X-Men apart from the films and the 90s cartoon(s). I thought it was very well implemented, and all the mutants were dealt with pretty well (films like X3, terribleness aside, are bad due to the fact they pack so many mutants in there and make no use of them). So I think it was good that there is just a small group either side, no massive battles or whatever. Just some nice visuals and 1 on 1s.
Glad I finally got over the fact that "Tony from Skins" was in this film putting on a questionable accent.
So did they leave this open for sequel or will they focus on other Origins films? I really don't know what the hate is on Origins: Wolverine. It was, to my mind, a lot better than the other X-Men films by comparison, because I'd rather they focus on a few mutants than do fan service and bash you over the head with the hundreds they can stick in one film.
(click to show/hide)Wolverine cameo - good, or bad? Because I laughed, but did it really need to be there?
Orbert:
I thought it was very good, quite entertaining, and really that's all that counts. Standard problems with continuity that plague all comic book movies; do we stay 100% faithful to the books and piss off the fanboys, or make a few changes to make it a better movie (in their opinion)?
What was weird was how they obviously tried to keep some continuity with the existing X-Men movies (the opening Erik sequence was nearly a shot-for-shot reproduction) but just as obviously chose to change a few things, then explain that this is a "reboot" not a "prequel" therefore they don't have to maintain continuity. Since I know nothing about the comic books, and the previous movies already have internal inconsistencies, I was fine with the result.
Also yeah, January Jones was horrible and I don't even think she's that hot.

The problem with the Origins film was that it completely butchered the Wolverine/Weapon X mythos (I don't mind some departures from the source material, the films aren't set in the Earth 616 continuity so it's ok), they completely destroyed key characters and made things absolutely ridiculous. The writing was awful and the CGI was dogshit.
They could have focused on a few characters and made it ok but they didn't. They focused on a few characters and made it retarded.
As for what's in your spoiler tags? I liked it. It was probably unnecessary but I thought it was done well and it made me laugh. Probably my favourite bit, actually.

That's weird, I understood that it was entirely a prequel and that this trilogy (there are two other First Class films in production) will maintain internal consistency with the others.
Tom:
It's more of a preboot
