![]() #X MEN FIRST CLASS AMAZON PRIME SERIES#The result is the best film in the series yet. Singer then returned as an executive producer, and Matthew Vaughn ( Kick-Ass, Stardust) was hired to direct. Several suggestions were tossed around before they eventually settled on a prequel. But regardless of whether or not they were any good, all four movies made money which meant a fifth was inevitable. #X MEN FIRST CLASS AMAZON PRIME MOVIE#The result was a movie that hurt the brains of comic book fans and made casual audiences wonder why people ever cared for the X-Men.Īnd then there was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a more divisive film that people either disliked, or they hated it passionately – very little middle ground. Fox rushed the third movie out, Singer left mid-way to direct Superman Returns (not the best career move ever) and Brett Ratner was not the guy that could glue the broken pieces together. It was a good time to be a comic book nerd. Both challenged what a comic book movie could be and set a new standard for the superhero film. Then a few things came to pass in the comic book movie world that changed everything: namely Spider-Man 2 and Batman Begins. They weren’t Schumacher’s Batman and Robin bad, but they weren’t great either. It was a superficial look at a world that deserved better the films were just missing something. That would be fine for the movies if there had been something better in its place, maybe something original and fresh, but there wasn’t. There was no spark or recognition of the deep history. The sense of adventure and drama that anchored the comic was missing. But they still felt like a movie that featured the X-Men, not a movie about the X-Men. ![]() And at the time, compared to the other comic book movies that had been released, grading on a curve a “not bad” was actually fairly impressive. Even though I hated at least two of them.īryan Singer’s X-Men and X-Men II weren’t all that bad. So it shouldn’t be a big surprise to hear that I’ve also seen all four of the previous X-Men films several times. I was there when the team went to Australia for no damn reason and nearly destroyed the franchise. I collected Classic X-Men until they caught up with the issues I already had. And of all the series I collected, none were as close to me as X-Men. The boxes filled with years of my obsession which my mother grudgingly stores for me can attest to that. X-MEN: FIRST CLASS comes out 2 June 2011. ![]() More images and one-sheets will most likely be coming into the offices along with the trailer in the next couple of weeks/month. ![]() ![]() Its good that we can get a good and official look at the line-up with costumes included. The image shows from left to right Magneto ( Michael Fassbender), Dr Moira MacTaggert ( Rose Byrne), Emma Frost/The White Queen ( January Jones), Azazel ( Jason Flemyng), Hank McCoy/Beast ( Nicholas Hoult), Alex Summers/Havok ( Lucas Till), Angel Savadore ( Zoe Kravitz), Raven Darkholme/Mystique ( Jennifer Lawrence) and finally Professor X ( James McAvoy). In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto’s Brotherhood and Professor X’s X-MEN. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. Here’s the official synopsis īefore Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. The above image is the first peek at the main line-up in the upcoming Matthew Vaughn film X-MEN: FIRST CLASS. ![]()
