Fanboy release X men First Class

Rating: 6/10 (5 June 2011)

Although a competent cast, felt that movie stagnated it parts and had unnecessary plot explanations-point of fact lets all sit in a circle and decide what we want our super hero "mutant" names to be, felt it could have been explained in a more cerebral way.
The special effects although impressive at time lacked impact and a certain realism at times reminding me of excerpts from spy kids(chase seen with banshee and the Dragonfly girl).
James McCavoy I felt also did not have the sternness and authority of Patrick Stewart in the X men Franchise. Fassbender holds his own and pulls impressive faces while trying to come to terms with his powers. All though the the seen on the beach with the missiles is almost comedic. (harpoon missiles only manufactures since 1977 not in 1962). Nitpicking aside and with a young and impressive upcoming cast there are moments which are good but felt the movie lacked substance and was aimed at its younger audience.
Felt the writing was limp and the editing weak,also the cinematography could have taken a page out of dark knight or even the previous x men movie's (why did Bryan Singer not direct this)it felt to clean and light.
Perhaps a cynical look and American Summer Fare which overall has disappointed thus far and it looks set to continue with Ryan Reynolds adding a comedic touch to a classic comic book hero in the green lantern.
