I fully expected to be neutral (at best) on the new X-Men movie, X-Men First Class.
Since Fox owns the X-Men rights (Marvel owns many of its own characters for the purposes of filmmaking, but not the X-Men or Sony's Spiderman, both of which draw criticisms from us fanboys) most of us weren't expecting much.
I'm not saying this is the X-Men movie I wanted (it ain't and that's a fact), but it is a movie that looks a LOT better than what I was expecting based on the production news I've seen. Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass) directs, so that probably has a lot to do with it looking better than expected. Hopefully the writing and acting are equally surprising.
A pleasant surprise, even if it's not the definitive X-Men that will never happen so long as Fox owns the mutants.
