Somehow I think it's going to be better than Wolverine

Agreed. Although that wouldn't be too difficult. The question is will it be better then X2?

[Flightpath07]

Looking forward to it. IMHO, the X-Men movie franchise sucked hard after the original X-Men movie. This is a chance for a new franchise of movies.

IMHO X2 was the worst of the X-Men trilogy, Wolverine was painful. Hopefully 'First Class' will be what it portrays itself to be in the trailer.

I still haven't seen Wolverine Origins. I started to watch it a few times, but the first five minutes or so just turned me off.

Wolverine was best portrayed in the "Hulk Vs." video. Him and Deadpool teaming up together was a riot!

To say I am underwhelmed is not even close to what I feel towards this movie.

But I posted here:

as the younger versions of the Marvel Comics superheroes from the original movie trilogy

Sorry Tawmis, but I disagree with that statement. It is closer to a reboot than a prequel, and only uses a few characters from the original movie trilogy. This will become its own franchise.

Hmm.. I actually really liked X2.
The third one I loathed.
Wolverine was a tolerable popcorn piece.

X2 is my favourite movie, period. I expect great things of First Class - Bryan Singer is attached, after all (though not as director).

X3 I didn't hate, but it didn't come close to living up to the first two. Wolverine was meh at best, but that's me being generous. Was that supposed to be the Hudsons there? I don't think so!

I like to think of the Hudsons as an analogy for the kindness he was shown by Mac & Heather in the comics (I was very drunk at that moment). X2 for some reson just never did it for me. X3 is my fave out the three. Different strokes ... Then again I loved Daredevil, so what do I know?

[Flightpath07]

There are people who don't love Daredevil? i thought it was quite well done!

One would hope...LOL!

However, I didn't like the character line-up the first time I saw it and I still don't...Bleh.

As I said in the thread:

I seriously doubt this movie will have any ties to the previous X-Men and/or Wolverine movies... I believe it's intended to stand on it's own as a new movie, with no previous ties and connections. (Because that's what hack writers do). Because if it does tie in with the previous X-Men/Wolverine movies, then it's severely out of whack as Cyclops is Havok's older brother, only by a few years. But if Havok is in XM:FC and they tie it to the other X-Men movies, that'd put him at Magneto/Xavier's age, which means he's been around since WWII.

I really enjoyed it, then again I am a big fan of Daredevil. Blame Miller for that . The movie was not that well received as I recall. Though how anyone can not like a film that has Evanesence on the OST is beyond me.

[Le Messor]

I saw the First Class trailer for the first time last night...
Not the first time ever, the first time on big screen. Along with Green Lantern and Pirates 4.
(It was before this obscure little flick noboby here would be interested in. I believe it was called 'Thor'.)

It felt to me more like an hour-and-a-half long trailer than an actual movie.
The Director's Cut, on the other hand, that was the movie the theatrical release was a trailer for.

Actually, I'm pretty sure they've said it's supposed to work as a prequel; and if you notice on the trailer, they're going with 'Before he was Professor X' (clips from the first movie), 'he was Charles'. And the same for Magneto.
