Do not expect this to be like the first x-men movies!

Rating: 6/10 (8 October 2011)

First class is a lot different than what I expected. The film has less action and more slow parts instead. Now when I refer to slow parts I would like to tell you it is story, but it is actually lots of your time wasted by them trying to tell a story about shallow characters. You sit through a 132 minute movie which should have been an hour and twenty minutes because the rest is a waste of time and boring. Yes, I know that movies like x-men are not supposed to have a best picture of the year type of story, but if you are going to have a shallow story do not waste my time prolonging it just give me action instead that is better than nothing. The movie in better than "The Last Stand" and is worth watching a second time I would say but no more than that. It does have decent characters (Magneto and Xavier and Kevin Bacon) but the other ones are pretty bland and than other characters are introduced in the beginning like the woman from the CIA, but than her character is completely forgotten in the rest of the film after her introduction(look at the deleted scenes on the blu ray which include her and the movie will make a little more sense)
