M Night Schmalalala
Not seen a bad film of his yet
Have you not seen 'The Happening'?
Nope, not yet.
Been intending to. Isnt that the one with Mark Wahlberg in it?
Very good actor.
Oh noes! Grass! And wind!
Terrible film.
That was probably the best bit.
I thought First Class was caught between trying to be an intelligent character study and a big summer superhero blockbuster. It didn't develop either enough to be fully cohesive. It had some great scenes and performances, coupled with some cheesy ones that didn't really work. It also seemed far too rushed, with none of the characters fleshed out enough. Michael Fassbender was excellent. Maybe the Magneto film they had planned would have been a better idea. The next installment has the potential to build on First Class, but this first prequel was a good, if slightly underwhelming effort. Also, Beast in Beast Mode™ was shit. X-Men 2 is still the best in the series.
