X-Men First Class
The cast list is out there, speculation behind us and now we just wait to see if the film lives up to the hype.
As with the Wolverine story, the film makers are dealing with a storyline precious to X-men fans, who have read multiple times version of the comics and graphic novels, know characters inside out and want to see certain story elements as they are in the comics.
Wolverine was a good film, but personally think it was a story more for what would work, have an impact on screen or wow non-x-men fans.
X-men first class has the trailer out and looks great, but as with all trailers, is that all the best bits? Hope not.
If the film makers stick more to the X-Men mythology set down already, then not only will it satisfy more people, but have more continuity with the comics.
Ok, films have to show, what will work on screen, prioritise certain story elements over others, budget, etc., but really this time it nees to follow the X-men orginally sotrylines as per the comics, otherwise, it maybe another – ‘pretty good, great effects, great bits, nearly there, but……….’ type feeling.
Anyway, watch the film and sum up if after years of comic and graphic novel reading the film comes up to scratch.
