OH GOD THAT MOVIE MADE ME SO ANGRY.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I WAS ANGRY LIKE THAT IN A CINEMA... WAIT, IT WAS WHEN I SAW KICK-ASS WHICH WAS ALSO A TURD. And it's the same director: I guess this explains that.
I have now identified my enemy. Matthew Vaughn, I will find you. I will find you and I will make you suffer. I don't know how or when, just know that I'm coming to get you, and you will pay for those long, very long hours of my life spent on that useless piece of shit you dare call a movie.
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BE A FILM DIRECTOR WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO *FILM* CORRECTLY?? How, just HOW can you get, in this day and age, camera angles so WRONG that they make every single fucking scene look flat, devoid of any dramatic tension, and ridiculous to the point of no return? Is that some kind of super power? Seriously, how do you do it?

I'm nerdy and all, but I don't give a fuck about the original X-Men licence. I'm an occasional X-Men fan, nothing more. So I can say that X-Men First Class was the worst movie of the year without just being a bitter fangirl disappointed by the adaptation. In fact I had no expectations whatsoever about it, so I couldn't possibly be disappointed. And still... within the first fifteen minutes I wanted to get the fuck out of the cinema screaming and pulling my hair off. IT WAS SO BADLY FILMED AND WRITTEN. EVEN THE TWILIGHT MOVIES WERE BETTER DIRECTED AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.

And no, I didn't care for the slashy undertones. Magneto, played by some cheap version of Viggo Mortensen, was a dumbass with the charisma of a plastic fork making stupid derpfaces whenever he used his powers, and Xavier was a spineless (pun not intended) jerk, not even interesting enough for me to find appropriate insults to define him. So no thanks, I don't want to read about any kind of romance between those two.

Give me back Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, and the hours of my life I've wasted watching that fucking trainwreck.

Whaou, ça c'est de la réaction radicale. ^^
Je n'avais pas aimé Kick Ass mais contrairement à toi je suis ressortie plutôt satisfaite de First Class. J'ai au contraire trouvé l'acteur qui jouait Erik assez charismatique, et le fait qu'il ne soit pas inexpressif était un point positif (ce qui aurait été un travers facile dans lequel tomber, genre "tall, dark and inexpressive with a traumatic past...")
Xavier était aussi un peu un connard sur les bords... mais c'est ce qui m'a plu !

I'm now glad that I refused to see this movie on principle: You do NOT remove Patrick Stewart from a movie and expect me to like it. *swoon* Oh Patrick, the greatest French captain with a British accent ever!

Sooo... the art of love and cooking?

I was contemplating about watching it. The cast does not look very impressive to me but I do have a soft spot for X-Men. Somehow you've made me curious about how bad it is.

No one will ever beat the charisma of Gandalf and Captain Jean-Luc Picard
