New X-Men: First Class Set Images!

ok.....

Not disastrous as in the production is going wrong, as you tried to lead us to believe...

This film will be good. Everything rocks... Well apart from one, minor, insufficienct ellement... but hey ho, who wants to see Wolverine in a X-Men movie...

Why does this movie just seem like such a mess? I hope it fails so Marvel can bring it back to justice...Imagine Marvel had them back and could cross over the Avengers and X men...they could do an epic Civil War..

They're trying their very best to make me hate the X-men. But I cant....give....in....

'Man in Black'. So no one knows who he actually is yet?...hmm how intriguing :)
This movie will be good. Just to clarify as well, people often complain about it not been the original 5, but lets keep in mind in the very first comic ever of x-men the 'original five' take on magneto who is about to blow up a military base....so who is to say this movie doesnt take place before that issue? It's believeable.
In x-men movies 1 and 2, there are hints that magneto and mystique knew the x-mansion well, magneto even 'helped build cerebro'. So in line with those movies, its plausible that magneto and mystique were once 'x-men'.
It's really too soon to say it will suck.
Prepare to be surprised is all im saying.

Same [frick]ing story every day, little bitches crying before even seeing a [frick]ing trailer. How can you even say it sucks without watching it???? God damn peoples.

Rofl @ the reactions to this. I love you all, and I love all whiskey.

I've seen better set images in an episode of the Power Rangers.

Again, a new stupid headlines by Comicbookmovies...

This kind of things make me dislike this site more each day.

Please, be a bit more serious, reporters.

This is the first comic book movie I actually have no interest whatsoever in seeing. Thank you very much fox for making that possible for me.

@crashrendar
yes, oliver platt could be a cia agent, anybody (perhaps Vaughn) said in an interview that the x-men work together with the CIA.

Yawn...I'm saving my 15 dollars or 750 Indian rupess on this one.

excitement level for this film is at 0.

captainamerica @ No ones a bitch here... fact is its not a real First Class movie... we've got no First Class in it (cept a blue Beast?), and we have a younger Emma Frost in the sixties to the one in Origins amongst other stupid things, Fox can't keep to their own twisted movie-verse... don't need to see a trailer to see this is one big slap in the face.

I hope Marvel Studios gets them rights back soon because I (like many others) can't deal with another 10 years of X-movies from Fox!

Marvel72 @ - 0!

captain america-his always bitching about the haters,its like you can't have opinion

@ captainamerica

Here's why most people think the movie will suck before seeing a trailer:

1) Sebastian Shaw: in the comics he's the white king of the Hellfire Club, a centuries old club with "venues" around the world exclusively created to cater the filthy rich and influential political figures. The connections they had with for example Senator Robert Kelly led to government funding of the sentinel program, after the Dark Phoenix story arc in which the Hellfire Club had a massive influence.

In the movie, Hellfire Club is a night club (a bit poor in comparison don't you think?). There's no inner circle (if there is, apparently Emma Frost isn't the White Queen).

2) Magneto is a James Bond kind of guy. X-Men. James Bond. Two completely different things. I love Star Wars, so why not make Professor X a Darth Vader kind of guy? Well, because it makes no sense. That's not who the character is.

3) Moira is a CIA agent.......................................................................... don't even know where to start with that one. It's too ridiculous for me to even bother bashing it.

4) You have dialogue gems like Azazel shouting at Mystique "You will have my baby". Wow. I would expect a line as absurd as that in a movie like Naked Gun because it is hilarious, but not in an X-Men movie. In an X-Men movie it will be cringing.

5) Vaughn doesn't seem to even take into consideration the history of the X-Men. Why does Vaughn come along with his god complex saying that there is no canon and he can effectively bastardise the X-Men? According to him, their history has always been changed whenever it suited the writers. Not so. First Class will always be Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast and Iceman (later joined by Angel).

Magneto will always have been a friend to Xavier who decided to go against him as their views on how to save mutantkind were too different.

Xavier does not lose his hair by using his powers (as some rumours lead us to believe, hope even Vaughn is not that stupid).

I could go on but writing about this failure of a movie (yes, even before I see a trailer) is giving me an ulcer.

Vaughn is a talented director but to be honest he should stick to what he knows: crime movies. Stardust was underwhelming and Kick-Ass... well, with a story like that even a chimp like Ratner could do it and it would still be good.

If he doesn't stick to the source material in its most basic aspects (and he did with Kick-Ass despite a few changes), he shouldn't even bother.

This movie is a fail and I hope it bombs tremendously, I hope it's the biggest failure of a CBM ever, just so that Fox gives up screwing characters I've been reading about for over 20 years. Can't wait for Marvel to get the rights back and do the X-Men the way they're supposed to be.

I concur, Gunslinger. Well said.

These are all things we know about this movie BEFORE it hits the theater which is exactly why the tired old "How can you judge a movie you haven't seen" argument is absolute bullshit.

Objectively, knowing those things doesn't mean the movie itself will be a bad one. But that doesn't matter. If you don't like this movie because of the choices they made in it, then that's as legitimate a criticism as any other.

@ Gunslinger Bravo...

Wait, this "You will have my baby!" line I keep reading here is actually from 'First Class'? And Moira works for the CIA? Oh well...

I have to join the zero excitement camp on this. I'm totally psyched for Thor, curious about how Cap will be, not too much into what we've seen from GL so far, but this movie does absolutely nothing for me. Which is really sad, because based on the director and parts of the cast it should be different. But every new info we get about the whole project adds to my feeling that 'First Class' is just some kind of elaborate joke.

Now please give me an insanely awesome trailer to change that feeling, will you?! Because it sucks.

the problem with the haters is that they dont understand that:

- The X-men Movie saga is a NEW interpretation of the X-men. Not a faithful adaptation.

- It has been since Day 1. since X-men 1.

- It will always be with the secuels or prequels from the main trilogy.

- I you dont accept this, you wont be satisfied with ANY movie from THIS saga.

I you dont like the concept of this prequel, Perfect.

so, those who dont like it, dont need to come here each day Hating a movie that is part of this new intrepretation of the x-men, and a movie that hasnt been released yet.

So, respect this movie and keep you negativity until you see the movie.

@ gambgel, banekill, darknight

If Fox held the rights to Batman, and they decided to change his story by making him a plumber... who was inspired by Superman to fight against crime, and took a young vigilante with a penchant for the theatrical called Joker as his sidekick... well, you'd probably applaud and say "wait for the trailer, it's just a different take on the character, fanboys are never happy".

You know what? First Class may actually be a fun movie to watch about superpowered people. It just won't be X-Men. So why not just change the names of the characters and create a whole new mythology and build a new, original franchise out of that?

Professor X > Professor Follicle - A young telepath burdened by the knowledge that if he abuses his power he will go bald. One. Hair.At.A.Time.

Azazel > Pinky The Demon - A demon cast out of hell who needs to impregnate a woman in order to save the universe.

Moira Mactaggert > Agent Cassidy - She works for the CIA and she's Irish. Hilarity ensues.

Sebastian Shaw > Mega DJ - An evil former DJ who owns a night club. Wears nice suits and has a submarine.

Magneto > Mr. Agent Man - A secret agent who puts James Bond to shame with lots of shiny gadgets... and who apparently, as a bonus, has some degree of control over metals though that's not as interesting and should be played down as much as possible.

Beast > Monkey Boy - You know what? For all I care Fox could tweak his powers and actually give him the ability to turn his enemies into bananas and eating them.

Sh!t, make it something else unrelated to the X-men and I'll probably enjoy it as much as... I don't know.... Heroes?
This thing about it being a new take on the characters... the take is so new they're not even the same characters.
If you want to love the movie, it's your right to do so and my opinion is worth exactly as much as you paid for it. But this is a site where people with a common interest come together to discuss it and diverging opinions are a part of it.

If you want to love it - Great, enjoy it, rave about it and if you want to , tell us why it's so great.

If you hate it - Great, join the club and if you want to, tell us why.

This is what's so great about freedom of speech: you can express your opinions freely and if someone doesn't like it.... tough.

@ Movietheaterlad

Yeah, I know they aren't. It's an exaggeration created solely for the purpose of making a point (think even Fox executives will be able to come up with better concepts than Monkey Boy), while making fun of all the stuff we've been hearing from Vaughn, Fassbender and McAvoy.

They should create something new and leave X-Men for Marvel. In my opinion.
