Agreed. Beast looked good, even if they ruined his powers (he's not the flash, he's the ultimate gymnast). Nothing in that film set up ANY kind of long term friendship/animosity between Xavier and Magneto. They never acted like brothers, like two friends separated by extremes in ideology. Magneto couldn't care less about Xavier. It was a horrible mess.

Quit trying to nitpick it against the comic books. It's not the comics. It's a movie, in its own continuity.

EXCUSE ME, but he was stating his opinion. No one died and made you God, so lighten up when someone states an opinion. Ghost Rider 2 was an amazing film compared to X-Men: First Class. Not even comparing to the comics, just comparing to the past 4 X-Men movies. Everything about it was ruined potential. Relationship between Xavier and Magneto - ruined. Selection of Mutants for the first class - aside from Banshi and Beast.... CRAP. Stripperfly? really? Hula-hoop Havok? Baddies - Nazi Shaw? Red Nightcrawler? And the biggest atrocity was something easily correctable by Marvel, but they let it pass... NO reason for an F-bomb in a movie aimed at older kids and teenagers. It didn't add to the film, it wasn't needed.

Actually, other than the "Dark Phoenix" part at the end, I actually prefer X3 over First Class. The interplay between Xavier and Magneto was fantastic, as it was in the first two films, and overall, I felt it was more true to the concept of X-Men over the pretentious plot of XM:FC.

Can't call me a pissy fanboy, I haven't read an X-Men in 20 years, have only seen the movies. My ranking would be XM1, XM2, X3, XM:Wolverine, then FC
