Hell yea. I don't have super high hopes for it, but I do think it will be good, and had better be a hell of a lot better than X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Yeah, I want to see this. I hear it's not real faithful to the origins in the comic but whatever, this looks pretty good.
Hmmmm. I will have to see for myself. I have read both volumes including Wolverine, Weapon X, Uncanny, Giant Size Uncanny, Giant Size and the Finals.

Eh, I agree and disagree.
You know whats getting old? The fact that most of the comic book adaptations are terrible. That also includes video game adaptations.
I still go to these in hopes of viewing a film that ties into the comic. Chances are, it won't.
Regardless, I am still going. I do not have my hopes up.

My thing with the comic book movies, is they all kinda have the same plot, seemingly same atmosphere. I find many of the movies just kind of forgettable, especially Spiderman. Hopefully, Hollywood can find some way to spice them up a bit more. For some reason though, I thought Origins, Wolverine pretty enjoyable despite the bad reviews.

Origins was absolutely terrible, and I WANTED to like it, hell, I TRIED to like it, but I just couldn't. It wasn't the cast, (Jackman is an amazing Wolverine and Reynolds is a great Wade or Deadpool) but the origin of Deadpool in the movie is COMPLETELY different than how it happened in the comics, and I wasn't even a huge comic fan at all and it still bothered the hell out of me.

Yeah, I think the reason I liked it was the novelty of watching a movie with incomplete CGI. I was also really really high.

I can sorta forgive what they did with Lady Deathstrike, Deadpool, Juggernaut, etc., but the team of mutants they've assembled for "First Class" is so ridiculous that I'm not going out of my way to see it. I'll only nerdrage through the whole thing.
I bet they are going to exclude the humorousness that you saw in the comics. I hate it when they do that. They did the same thing to Avatar: The Last Airbender

Early reviews from various sites are saying this is an extremely good film. Now it has me curious.

Yeah, I was actually not caring that much--even though I'm an X-Men Fan--until I saw the reviews for this one. I thought all of the X-Men movies sucked quite frankly, despite everyone seeming to go bat shit crazy for the second.
The only good superhero movies have been Superman II, the last two Batman movies, the first two Spiderman and the first Iron Man. Kick-Ass, I suppose if you actually consider that a superhero movie. First Class is incidentally being directed by the director of that film too.

I understand the movie is technically its own alternate universe and should be viewed with that in mind but goddamnit this sucked. It's really like the entire storyline came from xmen mad libs.
The only redeeming part was Magneto.

I have no idea what you're talking about. I was ready to pick this film to pieces but I can't. It was easily the best xmen movie, and maybe the best Marvel movie.

I have way too many issues with the storyline. Practically nothing in the movie made any sense. Azazel and Riptide (with brand new powers) are in the Hellfire Club? Alex and not Scott? Banshee and Moira sans accents? Sebastian Shaw that powerful? The Hellfire Club never says anything about Phoenix? Angel is now a female stripper with fairy wings that spits fireballs? THIS IS MADNESS
Without Magneto's badassery this would have absolutely no redeeming qualities.

Wait. Angel is now some female stripper?
This is not good. This is sounding NOTHING like the First Class comics...
