Super-watchable....but eminently forgettable!

Rating: 5/10 (25 June 2011)

I saw this movie about a week ago, with some suppressed expectations! I had heard so much about the movie, and so many good things, I was almost afraid to see it and be disappointed :)
Well...I wasn't disappointed - I thoroughly enjoyed the movie; James McAvoy looked cuter than a bowl of ice-cream; and Michael Fassbender's long lean lithe body was perfect for his very action-oriented role.
The problem is that I now cant remember what it was all about. And that shouldn't happen if the movie was really good to start with. Good equals memorable (I can still remember most if the dialogue from Gladiator).
Therein lies the rub dear reader - X-MEN:First Class is a great bit of fluff. A great way to spend 2 hours in a theater; great special effects; great-looking people. It is NOT a great movie in any sense of the term. Watch it - enjoy it - DO NOT term it a classic!!
