X-Men First Class Trailer Reactions

Aside from the obvious lack of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, there's nothing there dissuading me from seeing it, but not really enough to make me super excited. 

JT read my mind.

I'm real hesitant to pass major judgment on this movie based on the trailer.  Unfortunately it still looks like one of those things that can be either really good, or really bad.  Of course I'll check the movie out, but quite honestly if this movie turns out to flop just like Wolverine Origins and Last Stand did, then I will most likely be of the opinion that maybe we finally should leave mutants off the big screen.  As for who's opinion I agree with, well anything that Mark Millar says I will go along with, and the others make me at least have some ray of hope for the success of this movie.

I look at it this way. Yes it does deviate from source matierial, but if this story was written as an alternate universe and was written well, I don't think any fan boys would complain. In fact I think some of them would like it. So I don't really care that they have made so many changes, it looks good so I am going to see it.

I am waiting for after I get back out later tonight. I like to watch movie trailers at 3 am in the morning when my expectations are lowest.  
 
What I hear confirms its still character driven though, which I like, and also that it completely disregards other movies continuity which I LOVE, because why try and get dragged down by other mediocre movies when the only people who might appreciate that for you will complain anyway. Let it succeed or fail when you actually go to see it. 

Great idea to share what other people in comics thought about the trailer.  
 
I still can't wait to see this movie.

...Why are there so many articles about this trailer?

I'm not happy with this trailer.

trailer for wolvering origins looked good too, until you saw the movie. 

My sentiments line up with JT Krul's.  

im hell excited

Everyone expected this trailer/movie to be a total joke and instead it blew the Green Lantern parody out of the water.

I'm not annoyed by the fact that they're deviating from the comics, just annoyed that they're deviating from their OWN movie continuity. There's 4 movies, how hard is it to follow the continuity of those? Why do we need Emma Frost when she already appeared (as a teenager) in Wolverine? Why do we need Havok when he is now way too old to be Cyke's brother? 
 
I would've liked a different roster, personally. Maybe Blob and Avalanche, we haven't seen them yet. Banshee is a good addition, as are Beast and Mystique, but other than that I'm not crazy about the roster. 
 
That said, Fassbender looks like he's going to steal this movie.

" I don't think Emma or Havok should be in this. Havok, because this establishes him at an age where he could be Cyclops' father, and Emma because that would 1) Mean she;s ancient nowadays, and 2) makes no sense if this is in anyways a part of the other X-Men movie franchise. The only thing I can think of is she stayed in her diamond form for a few decades. But that seems like a stretch. 
 
 
Though, I do hear that this is a reboot, so it could or could not make sense.  
 
Either way, the trailer looks great. And Micheal Fassbender really made it look like realistic to lift that submarine from the ocean in the last few seconds of the film. His facial expression really showed struggle and a little bit of wonder like "I'm actually doing this". Great coming-into-power Magneto portrayal. "

JT!

I think this looks pretty good.

It has a great director, producer and cast, the only continuity issue I see is Emma Frost inclusion in this and Wolverine Origins, which frankly doesn't bother me as that film bombed critically and commercially. It's not unheard of for a film series to dis-regard a particular instalment.  
 
The choice of characters is very clever, either using the "older" characters or parents/relatives of pre-established characters is the best way to strengthen the series as a whole. I'm "iffy" with Angel Salvadore's inclusion.
 
As for respecting the source material, it does a damn good job. I don't want to see my comic frame for frame regurgitated on screen, Zack Snyder tried that and received middling response for 300.  
This is neither the 616 nor the Ultimate universe. This is the movie universe, and Bryan Singer has already brought us two incredible installments of it. My hopes are high he does it a third time.

Screw this movie. And these guys' reactions to it mean nothing. They have to be politically correct so I doubt this is any of their true feelings. 

Uh, feels like X-men meets Mad Men meets Call of Duty: Black Ops... 

It looks pretty awsome to me. better than green lantern lol.

" ...Why are there so many articles about this trailer? "

"
As much as I don't want to dis this movie...I hope it "fails to find its audience" enough for 20th Century Fox to FINALLY SELL THE RIGHTS BACK TO MARVEL STUDIOS so this franchise can be done right! "

I was totally with J.T. Krul until he said the trailer was good.  I just didn't see anything in it to convince me that this movie isn't going to be suck...

slightly worried that they are making Azreal into basicly a red nightcrawler

 
Pretty excited! (:  
I'm gonna put all my comic knowledge aside and just view this as an action movie. The trailer looked awesome and I'm not really bothered about all the continuity with the comics errors. 

"If the X-Men were the US National Anthem... Brian Singer and Fox would be Christina Aguilera. " 
 

My problem is A. The trailer really doesn't show us anything other than "this is the story of how Professor X and Magneto became enemies...yay?"  B. They have basically said that this is not a sequel, not a reboot, not really connected with ANYTHING that has come before so it's "own stand alone story, but will have nods to other events in both the movies and comics that fans should notice" Umm...WHAT? You can't have it both ways! C. We basically liked the Name "First Class" from the comics and were gonna go with that even though it really has NOTHING to do with it so...don't think about it and just watch cause we need your money (plus unless we make this we have to give back the rights to Marvel and that would suck for us.)

I honestly don't know how I feel about this movie. I mean, the trailer looks good, but a reboot already? But I'm gonna watch it - James McAvoy is in it, and I could watch him do nothing for two hours.

to be honest this trailor looked  so bad that  i had  to remind myself that i was NOT  watching  a trailor  for the old Generation X  Tv movie but actually watching  some  xmen  trailor  that reports to be firstclass  but replaces scott  for  Alex   Jean  for  emma   and  has the wrong person called  angel in it   :(    without a certain Mr drake  in sight.... and  another  thing  i dont want to see a blue beast   allways especially not an ugly  cgi  one  give me  Hanks  classic/ X-factor appeaance anyday of the week...  so whos going to be the villain in  this communisum... some  lame  Azeal charcter that most  people atempt to try and forget or will it be Shaw......   Emmma  Frost  does  not belong  in an Xmen  film  until a few years ago she was only a minor charcter  that gained some measure of  notice in gen X

 
 I like what the new Spider-Man director said, how he wanted to do something more or less based on Ultimate Spider-Man. I really wouldn't mind seeing an Ultimate X-Men movie type of reboot, I think I'd prefer it actually. I'm defnitely planning on checking out this First Class movie out, but it is very discouraging when you know how the story more or less should involve and the actual movie makes no effort in involving those characters so I can deifintely see where everyone is coming from, if I'm watching this movie for anything, its probably to see the character interaction between Xavier and Magneto, and how well the Hellfire Club is intergrated into the big screen,  
 
BRING HOME THE BACON!!! Oops lol I meant BRING IT HOME KEVIN BACON!!!  
 
I don't like however that they're using the same make-up for Mystique, I was hoping this was gonna be a complete reboot and we'd see a more traditional looking Mystique    

I'm real hesitant to pass major judgment on this movie based on the trailer.  Unfortunately it still looks like one of those things that can be either really good, or really bad.  Of course I'll check the movie out, but quite honestly if this movie turns out to flop just like Wolverine Origins and Last Stand did, then I will most likely be of the opinion that maybe we finally should leave mutants off the big screen.  As for who's opinion I agree with, well anything that Mark Millar says I will go along with, and the others make me at least have some ray of hope for the success of this movie.

i didn't  think they could make a bigger flop than wolverine (as far as source material goes ) 
looking at the trailer its like they blatantly said "we are gnna screw this up so, please no comic fans allowed .. unless you hate marvel" . from storylines to movies im getting more and more turned off by the x-men , which is a damn shame because that is what go me into comics in the first place  . a reboot is one thing but to say this is a prequel and blah, blah, blah , everyone else's complaint , i have no intention of seeing this movie or any other x-men film . not this decade anyhow  . 

"Aside from the obvious lack of Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan, there's nothing there dissuading me from seeing it, but not really enough to make me super excited.  "

Hope it's good.
