I'm in the camp that doesn't especially like First Class. It just...gets worse with rewatching for me.
Fassbender killed it as Magneto.
I mean, I remember hearing about there being solo Magneto and Wolverine movies...yeah they ****** up.
Magneto should've been the one that was it's own thing, because the Magneto and Shaw stuff is the best X-Men stuff in any of the movies.
And they could've worked around Wolverine meeting the X-Men and losing his memory afterwards, and made a nice flick outta that.
Iono. I wanted it one way, but it's the other.
I just think First Class was rushed and miscast, since they only hired the director a year before it came out. And the continuity stuff was just...jarring if you really remember or any of the characters meant anything to you from the other movies. Like Emma Frost. She was a kid in Wolverine (70s), but then January Jones in this, a 60s movie.
Lenny Kravitz's daughter sucks. All of the X-Men except Xavier are pretty irrelevant. January Jones makes Megan Fox look damn talented. The aw shucks corniness of how they teamed up and got names and picked sides. How every single time Magneto is near the X-Men, they try to turn his character into a joke. The fact that Mystique is the most annoying character in the film. Like how do you **** that up? Not to mention J-Law looks hit in the makeup. :x The whole relationship with Xavier and her is bad soap opera straight off the cutting room floor of X3.
And the action scenes are nice ideas, but if you really look at them, they're pretty bad. I mean they're not Deadpool in the nuclear reactor bad, but every action scene in X2 is as good or better than the best action scene in First Class.
But with all of that said...
The cruiseliner, the Inglourious type scene, Azazel, Rose Byrne, J-Law's J game
, the bromance, Shaw, the cameos 
, the reactor room...
It's still the 2nd best X-Men after X2 to me. And the Magneto stuff is kinda better than anything in any X-Men movie.
There's a lot to nitpick, but it sets up Days of Future Past to really, really be something amazing.
And the score is ******g awesome.
