ok, so today (2 June 2011) we went to watch X-MEN First Class. (but the review is publish on 14 June 2011)
Don't mind the lateness of our trip, or my being lost to Ikano and unable to find Nando's for dinner, we will straight go to the movie part.
The movie is... nice.
well, I don't have much say about it.. especially after so long in the closet. duh!
The story is somewhat refreshing. The storyline is about the the friendship and long battleship between Prof X. Xavier and Magneto. I love James McAvoy as Charles Xavier, charming and naive and only see good things around him. We also will come to understand and somehow accepted Magneto story, and in fact, feel sorry for him. especially when he's out to revenge for him mother's death. Raven or Mystique is a sad girl feeling like a freak, and is trying to find herself.
The story is fast moving, but the problem is the filmmakers have tried to cram as much as possible into the script and not only does this cause the film to skip from one place to the next for much of its running time, but it also leaves quite a few of the characters sorely underdeveloped.
The action scene is great with the special effect nicely done. I love some of the action scene more that others, especially with Magneto or Havoc and Banshee around.
I am just feel weird about the existence of Emma Shaw as she's already featured in Wolverine: The Origin as in totally different situation.
They have a good story, mixed of action, drama and comedy wherever needed.
I would not mind watching it again few times more, I think.
Summary: 4 stars / 5 stars.
Note: Actually I dream of preparing my own review of movie, so I can practice my writing. but i'm too lazy. pfffttt...
