I know I have had nothing but bad things to say about 'X-Men - First Class' but I take that all back now. This trailer looks pretty cool. Cuban Missile Crisis? Magneto pulling a submarine out of the water? Wicked cool.
Of course you can all remind me that the 'Wolverine' trailer looked pretty good also and turned out to be only average but I tend to cut my superhero movies a lot of slack. I just do. It's because of all the joy these characters have brought to me life. Remember, I am the one who likes 'Daredevil'. So my opinion is for crap. I will definitely see this.
So now were is my full length Captain America trailer?

i enjoyed Daredevil more than the Wolverine movie, definitely... this looks cool
I also liked Daredevil. And even Elektra gets somewhat of a pass from me since it came out the same year as Catwoman, which was a steaming pile.
The First Class trailer looks pretty cool. I think it's hard for a lot of us to reconcile how far the films have strayed from the comics, but I'm pretty much over that myself. I just want an entertaining movie. It doesn't have to fit my 30 years of familiarity with the books. It doesn't even have to try to make sense with the first two flicks (and it can completely ignore #3. Please). Just entertain with some semblance of what makes the X-Men a cool property to begin with. At this point, they're fighting (or becoming) vampires in the comics, so it doesn't even have a lot of work ahead of it to try to be better than that.
I am diggin' on the mutant involvement in a real life world altering event like the Cuban Missile Crisis. They save the world but their involvement can never be known. I also like Magneto being on the side of the Angels until something snaps and he forms his own Brotherhood. I wonder if they will be fighting other mutants when they fight against the Soviet and US governments. I am sure they have two other connected tales to tell.
When I saw this I thought "Oh, why wasn't this in the Super Bowl? Oh... Its over a minute long."
Anyway, I didn't have any interest in Wolverine Origins when it first came out (and even less interest when I eventually saw it) because Wolverine's character had already been developed and was starting to step on other people's screen time, so more of him was pretty much more of the same.
Here we see younger, more ambitious and perhaps more flawed versions of the dueling characters from the first movie, who had the most to them.
I'm really digging the gold and blue costumes as a nod to the original comics costumes, and especially loving the real world implications of the Cuban Missile Crisis (If your Sixties movie doesn't involve Woodstock then 1962 is the go to year in Hollywood)
Not being totally up on the older x-men comics (or even more recent ones, for that matter - I'm a Buffy fangirl) I REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE! If you are in Toronto when it comes out, let me know and I'll go with you!
It's a deal CC. Welcome to the Cave of Cool. I think this is your first visit. I hope you come back and comment more. I too am a big fan of Buffy and Angel (at first because of Cordelia but then when Spike came around Angel really got cooking)
I've not read an X-Men comic since the early 'nineties. I think Wolverine as a comic character stinks. much preferred him back in the old Claremont/Byrne days, when all he did was drink beer and beat people up.
that said, I really enjoyed the Wolverine and the X-Men cartoon, and, all in all, I thought the X-Men films were entertaining enough. not the greatest of films, but, then, I was never expecting them to be. but I enjoyed them enough. as for the new one, I'm in a kinda take it or leave it mood at the moment. I'll see it, but I won't be dragging any fanboy bile along with me. I'll probably quite like it. which is more than I'm willing to say for the upcoming Captain America.
and, for the record, I thought Daredevil was a great film, right up until Jennifer Garner walked on screen.
I am so glad that Wolverine isn't in this film. He is too overexposed as it is.
