Now, I usually enjoy superhero movies cause theyre all about kicking crazy monster ass (and the usual attractive ladies in skimpy clothing doesn't hurt any). If you also enjoy superhero movies for this reason, then you will enjoy First Class. I don't know much about the comic books and how this really fits in (i'm assuming they just took random characters from the comic book and shoved them together), but it didn't have any negative effect on the movie experience for me. The story isn't revolutionary, but it serves it's point, and I thought James McAvoy (from Wanted) and the guy who plays Magneto both gave solid performances, and both January Jones and the girl who played Mystique (I think she was nominated for an Oscar last year) filled their roles of "Look, I have boobies" very well. I'm not kidding when I say I don't think there was a scene with January Jones that didn't show off her cleavage. I am also not complaining
Best Part - The ending when Magneto finally gets his revenge on Kevin Bacon (I can only assume he was upset that Bacon did not star in Hollow Man 2) was pretty cool. And the two major cameos were pretty awesome (I didn't expect em at least)
Rating - 3.5/5, or better than X-Men 3, but not as good as X-Men 1 or 2. About equal with the Wolverine movie.
Extra, almost completely unrelated fun fact: The Wikipedia page for
Hollow Man 2 has a warning that the plot summary is either too long, or excessively detailed. You get to choose which one.
