Singer shot that scene with superior emotional weight.I strongly disagree. The kid Erik scenes were a little better, and I love the drama brought about by Shaw killing Erik's mom in front of him, but I will say that Vaughn exposed himself as an inferior director to Singer by copying the concentration camp scene. The kid Xavier and kid Mystique scene was horrid.

I can't think off the top of my head what changes this movie made - but I do know had things been switched around, it would not be the same movie. Even saying that so much was changed for "no apparent reason" doesn't sound right to me because so much of the reason why this film works is because of the screenplay. I really was expecting a lot of retcons going into this movie, but I saw a lot more fit in line with the first three films that it was a much more satisfying prequel to me than the awful Wolverine. And as far as I could tell, the biggest continuity error is with the third one, by having Moira McTaggart be a lot older than she should've been according to her age in X-Men 3 - which a lot of people choose to ignore anyway. IMO, this one contradicted the original three far less than Wolverine. I like the movies, but it's been forever since I've seen the first one. Retconned not only X 1-3, but also WOLVERINE (which was a bit of a retcon in the first place), FOR NO APPARENT REASON.IMO, complaining about stuff like that is ignoring the fact that the comics themselves are constantly retconning details and contradicting each other all the time. It wasn't a relaunch for the sake of the story at all, like I've heard before. Magneto going bad, Xavier being in a wheelchair, all of that stuff. I liked it alot, but have mixed feelings about it, because they retconned the other movies for no other reason than to fit all the cool stuff into this one. For the record, this was better than Thor and Pirates IV, in my opinion. X3 and Wolverine aren't worth mentioning. I probably put this one in between the first and the second. To have so many different things come together organically like that is damn good storytelling. It calls back on turning the satellite, the "following orders" thing, the coin. The finale had the potential to be really really lazy, and I was pleasantly surprised how many earlier story points were actually relevant.
Just the fact that he tries to protect Angel gave us enough insight into him that he wasn't just a shock death. Very nice.īuilding on what I just said, Darwin's death was really done well considering we know nothing about the character.
The scene where Shaw comes for the kids was executed pretty ruthlessly. The scene in Argentina, the satellite scene, the first submarine scene, the bank scene. Michael Fassbender and everything he does. Singer shot that scene with superior emotional weight. They dropped the ball on him being upset that his powers help get Darwin killed. This was a movie about Xavier and Magneto. I really just didn't care about a single one of them. Some of the dialogue was very heavy handed.įor a movie titled X-Men: First Class, the weakest part for me was the development of the actual students. And I like some of the stuff that her character does, but she is just really terrible every second she's on screen. It's a "Batman kills Harvey" moment that I would have preferred turned out differently. I know that letting the guy go would have put a whole lot of people in danger, but it just isn't the kind of decision that I would make had I written it. For as upset as he is in that scene, he just kept Shaw in stasis. A good movie is a good movie and the previous X-franchise wasn't good enough to me that it needed to be respected with such fervor. The continuity gaffs/retcons don't bother me because.
"They're just following orders" felt very organic without being heavy handed. I really liked how they tied everything together at the end. There are definitely things to quibble with, but there's surprisingly little fat on this film. He is one cool customer, I'll tell ya what.
