Newish X-Men: First Class Trailer

Link

Not a lot new so if you have seen the previous one, there's little to add. Looks good as long as you don't nitpick some of the stuff.

The things that came to mind when I watched that earlier today were:

1: The blue/gold suits still look terrible on Xavier and Magneto but it looks really good on Banshee.

2: I kinda like how the story was dealing with the Cuba crisis but then they show the scenes of the Hellfire Club and I'm not sure why would you need to put them in story. The US/Russia crisis is enough for an external story while you work on the Xavier/Magneto story as the internal one.

3: The retro-look of the movie is starting to grow on me but I still don't have high hopes for this movie.

A lot of cool effects, but whether or not this becomes a surprise gem depends on if the story and acting are much better than what we've seen from the last two X-Men movies (X3 and Wolverine) and if all the action we're seeing isn't over too quickly.

So basically, I'm worried if this movie will be long enough for it to do what it needs to do. I mean it looks like they're going to have a bit of Xavier and Magneto when they're even younger and on their own, then they meet up and become pals, then they start talking about their ideas for mutankind's place in the world, then they meet up with a bunch of mutants to see who's interested in organizing, then they found the school, then they go on missions, they they find out about whatever the hell's going on with Cuba, then they go on the mission to Cuba, and in between all of that Xavier and Magneto have a falling out and the rest of the mutants are supposed to get fleshed out.

It'll be much easier for them to **** this up if it's too short.

Please tell me that wasn't Toad. Dumbest mutant ever. Other than that, I'm on board.

Oh, so THAT'S why they change Austen's first name so much to resemble another common but not used in polite society word. I always wondered. That is pretty lame. But at this point, so are X-men comics. I tried to read the latest ones and was like, "I could be taking a nap or cleaning my oven instead."

Yeah, he's basically got all the same powers as Nightcrawler. Only he's red. And has apparently decided to just go ahead and embrace the whole "demonic" shtick he's got going.

Ok was that Kevin Bacon playing Shaw whom I saw standing next to January Jones playing Emma? Love me some Hellfire Club...Thor, Cap, Lantern and Xmen this summer...bring on the summer heatwaves!!!!

Wow! they totally improved Magneto's helmet!

Now I'll watch the older X-Men movies, and think "Why'd he make it look crappier?"

As many haters as there are for this film, it looks pretty cool to me.

Could be good; I'll be watching in the theaters (planning on it at least).
