Movie Review: "X-Men: First Class"


Ah the last super-hero movie review, and the best in the genre this year – in my humble opinion.

This reboot of the X-Men franchise (after the debacle that was X-Men: The Last Stand, and the disappointment of X-Men Origins: Wolverine) takes us all the way back to the start of it all.

And by start I mean Professor Xavier (Professor X to his friends) still had hair, could walk, and was a bit of a horny devil!










Like the first X-Men movie, we start out seeing little Erik Lensherr (Magneto to his friends) at his concentration camp. However, unlike the other X-Movies we see what drives him to become Magneto (and actually empathise with him). Although all the acting isn't top-notch, the overall story and action more than make up for it.

X-Men: First Class is rated a “Watch”.

QBF Rating: 4.0/5.0

PS: Wolverine has the best guest-appearance in movie history!

PPS: Xavier should have tapped that! After you watch you'll understand what/whom I mean.

PPPS: Why is Cyclops' younger brother (Havok) in this movie? Must there be a Summers family member in every X-Movie contractually?

NSFW Monday!

Good Morning! This is the 21st, and last of my "Body-Painted Football Babes Bonanza" series. Perhaps more importantly however, the semi-finals begin tomorrow in the World Cup! So a hearty congratulations to the great teams who made it: Uruguay versus Netherlands Germany versus Spain They will play each other tomorrow and Wednesday respectively, but all signs point to Germany defeating the Netherlands in the final. Now, back to the babes! We have ladies representing the Italian Republic (the only returning champion I'd wager, to ever come dead last in the weakest group), and the Republic of Korea (South Korea -- who lost to Uruguay in the 2nd round). - QBF Spicy Meatball: Korea's Taekwan-Don't Stop!
