[Film] X-Men First Class
21 Jun 2011 10:29 amAfter getting treated at Alimentum yesterday evening (more on that and why when I've got the photos processed properly), I took the opportunity of being near Cineworld and went to see the new X-Men.
(Note: This opinion is formed entirely by someone who isn't really familiar with the comics and has only seen the films.)
I really enjoyed it, there was some fine action, a nicely flowing and tight script (I was surprised after it had finished and it had been over two hours), some pretty decent acting from most of the cast and reasonable effects (although some of the CGI was a bit ropey). I also liked it as an introduction into how the X-Men came together (within the context of the film) and how the characters were developed. The only character who I felt was a bit bland was Emma Frost.
Another positive thing: They made an effort and got the German right. Saying that, it was obvious that most of the actors didn't speak German (except the pig farmer and the tailor in the Argentinian bar whose actors are German) so it didn't sound pretty but it was all correct and proper (unlike, say, in Die Hard). I was a bit surprised that Fassbender's (who's half German) German was rubbish, too, although not as bad as Bacon's but I guess that happens when you spend most of your time not being able to practice it.
