X-MEN:  FIRST CLASS
(1 of 2)

“IT DOESN’T MEAN THE MOVIE IS DEFINITELY GOING TO SUCK.”

I find myself saying that a lot during the months before an X-Men movie hits theaters. As news tidbits are released concerning the screenplay, casting, costuming, etc., I get a little worried that things aren’t looking so good for the merry on-screen mutants. The X-Men are my favorite comic book characters, and when an X-Men story is told well, it puts me in a state of deep satisfaction. I love them, and it always breaks my heart to see an X-Men movie that’s … er.. less than great. 

So, how can I keep buoying my hopes when news about this upcoming “First Class” gives that disaster-to-come vibe? Specifically, when promotional posters are released that look like they were made by an image processing script?

I keep in mind the vast number of decisions that go into making a big-budget film. Maybe, just maybe, the dollars that were clearly spared from the marketing budget have been re-purposed for:

1. An on-set vocal coach. The characters are from all over the world, and should have some believable accents, right? Looking at you, Halle Berry.
2. An extra week or two in editing. Does the film really need the Gambit chapter? Let’s take some time to think about that, huh?
3. Costumes our heroes can comfortably walk in. Just sayin’.

So, hopes are still high for X-Men: First Class.
