This is the last superhero movie for a little while, I promise.
X-Men: First Class. Here's the thing: when this came out, in June 2011, everyone was all "Ooooooh! It's a good
X-Men movie!" But then we got to see
Captain America, and we'd already seen
Thor and
IM2, and I just don't think
XM:FC holds up. Despite the strong cast (Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmichael Fassbender), and the sleek retro-60s setting, it's too origin-y, jumping around the world for little short scenes and never giving the audience much time to connect with anyone. Yes, it was TONS better than the more recent
X-Men fare - and I loved the Wolverine cameo, with the one f-bomb of the whole movie - but I'm thinking the
Avengers line is stronger.
if fassbender was
really in charge i'd go with
magneto for sure
