Hollywood Film> X-Men: First Class

I don't think I have to include a synopsis or a cast listing or what-not with this entry. The movie pretty much speaks for itself and i'm sure almost everyone has seen it already.

I walked in into the theater not expecting anything since I haven't even seen the trailer beforehand, but I just really wanted to see it cos I've always wondered about Professor X and Magneto's "past". Gosh, I can hardly eat while watching the movie ( i had KFC's hotshots,lol, i like to eat while I watch, i don't like just chips or popcorns, i prefer real food, not that you can call fastfood fares "real" but you know what i mean ^.^ ) So anyway, i grew up with X-Men, it was one of those cartoon series we used to watch every night as a child, I even fought with my siblings as to who's who, I was Jean Grey haha, i chose her cos then I'll have two hot guys pining for me, Cyclops and Wolverine lol, even then I was crazy lmao! but why do i keep wavering off topic. The movie explained so much for me, and it was touching knowing that Magneto was actually a Holocaust victim, had I known this before, I would have looked at him differently during the subsequent X-Men films, maybe with more understanding, more sympathy. It's also amazing to find out that Charles had always been the same, such strong character, such unwavering devotion to the human race. Beast. Mystique. It was so nice knowing how their characters started off as well. I loved everything about the movie, it was tight. I surprisingly even cried towards the end of the movie, it was just so touching. I thought I was gonna be disappointed but I ended up wanting to stay seated for another 2 hours to watch it again but I couldn't cos i have some grocery shopping to do, which I couldn't do on any other days because of work schedule. bummer. In the meantime, I'm gonna watch the other x-men movies again, this time, through a more "informed" glasses. :)
