it's G.R.E.A.T !!

i love the x-men franchise.. be it the movies or the comics or the cartoons. but the last x-men flick which was Wolverine was really bad.. i didn't like anything about it. it was a disappointment should i say it. this latest X-Men: First Class, i've been anticipating for this prequel. and watched it yesterday with my friends. i gotta say.. this one is a huge success! at least to me it is. it's like watching Batman Begins (which was awesome btw). for the entire 2hours and 15minutes i think.. i could not stop fidgeting in my seat because i was really looking forward of what might happen next. and because the cinema was darn cold too of course! haha.. i mean, we all know what happened. Professor X and Magneto eventually went their separate ways with their own followers and different ideologies. the only thing we didn't know was how they parted from each other. 

this movie managed to portray the relationship between Erik and Charles beautifully. so beautiful that it was really sad watching them become enemies in a split second. their friendship was i dunno how to put it.. strong maybe? at first... but early in the movie people would've spotted the difference in the two most important character's way of thinking... Charles put so much faith in the humans with the belief that mutants can live peacefully among human beings. Erik on the other hand has always been driven by anger and revenge because of his hellish life during the Cold War. he didn't believe that mutants and humans can get along well and humankind will do whatever it takes to get rid of them. actually he was proven right by the end of the movie... huhu.. these ideologies have always been the central theme to all the x-men movies. 

i really love this movie!! it was seriously sad watching the ending and to know that Erik was the reason why Charles was in the wheelchair all these times. and Raven/Mystique.. from childhood friend to foe Raven and Charles... for Mystique to become who she is in the sequels, woww.. it's just unbelievable because she's a real bad ass. but i think Jennifer Lawrence whom played Raven aka Mystique managed to deliver her role superbly. the dilemma she was in, not accepting herself with her blue and scaly skin.. the triangle between Erik, Charles, and Raven.. it was intense. who knew Hank the beast and Raven used to like each other?? haha.. X-Men: First Class really explains everything that we've seen in all the x-men movies.. i admit it does have flaws here and there but overall it's a terrific movie and one of the few superhero movies successfully pulled off... it's scores are awesome too! i got goosebumps listening to them! James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and everyone else did a great job! 

btw my fav character has always been Jean Grey aka the Dark Phoenix!
