X-Men!

[honeyspider]

Went to see X-Men: First Class. Unspoilery = I really liked it.

Spoilery = McAvoy and Fassbender were pretty much perfect in their respective roles.

Fassbender was/is pretty much perfect full stop and this movie has done absolutely nothing to curb the dangerous levels of obsession I have reached with that man over the last few months. The scene where Magneto is in Argentina and killing those guys and the hand running through the hair and guuuuuuuuuuuuuh. Get inside me, Michael Fassbender.

My only complaint with the movie is Emma Frost. They fucked up my beloved White Queen so badly. They turned her into a flunky without any sense of her sheer snarky awesomeness. I do not approve at all and the special effects on her diamond skin was kind of lame too. Maybe she'll be better in the second one, I have hopes.

Actually, I have a second complaint: I cannot BELIEVE Charles went and mindraped Moira! That better turn out to be her faking it in the next film because, dammit, she's great and Rose Byrne was cast perfectly for her.

Thoughts unattached at the moment to full paragraphs:

- Angel Salvadore was a very strange choice for a character to have in with all those classic kids.

- Killing off the only black guy and making the only black woman switch to the Bad Guys - I see what you did there, film, and I didn't approve.

- FOOTLOOSE, FOOTLOOSE, KICK OFF YOUR SUNDAY SHOES!

- Azazel! I was way too excited that he was in the movie and I look forward to the next movies doing things with him and Mystique and giving us a wee little Nightcrawler. Because that would be awesome :D

- Erik speaking three languages. This does things to me. And Fassbender did them all with such sexy ease. (notobsessed.) Although Erik got a little more Irish towards the end.

- Wolverine's cameo was a thing of beauty.

In the next films I have hopes for a few of my favourites kids to pop up. I think both Polaris and Psylocke would be awesome if only because purple and green hair are both awesome things to have.

Emma Frost is being played by January Jones, right? She is just a snooze fest for me, I don't like her!

I could have done such a better casting job and I've only read a handful of the comics!

I'm so proud of you, baby girl :D LOOK AT WHAT I'VE CREATED!

She looked pretty enough but she is either a really bad actor or they decided Emma should be completely flat and one-note.

CIRCE CIRCE I JUST WATCHED THIS CIRCE :DDDD

I agree with everything here. I MUST HAVE ALL OF THE FASSBENDER CIRCE. (Although I giggled each time his Irish slipped through. Poor baby he tried so hard. First big screen role where he doesn't die?)

AND WOLVERINE MY WOLVERINE. KEEP BEING SO SNARKY.

I AGREE WITH THIS COMMENT.

BUT YOU MUST SHARE THE FASSBENDER WITH ME AND CIRCE.

SORRY.

The Irish accent made me laugh so much, but he was gorgeous and amazing and thus everything is Fassbender and nothing hurts.

[nyas-lair.livejournal.com]

He hasn't had to do an American accent in a long time. Seeing it was his big movie I forgave him. He made for a very unf Magneto.

VERY unf.

But then, Fassbender could have stood there killing people with magic knife throwing and running his hands through his hair and done it in a mangled Chinse accent and I still would been all "YES. THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER."
