X-Men First Class: A Must-Watch For X-Men Fans

- Folks, I love the X-Men. When I was a kid, Professor Charles Xavier and his band of mutant outcasts were at their peak with Chris Claremont’s X-Men bringing the super-team into the households of young comic book readers everywhere. Needless to say, I’m absolutely stoked by the recently released Disney Plus continuation of the 1990s animated TV series and have had X-Men on the brain 24/7 these days... seriously guys, I’ve worn this sweatshirt like every day since mid-March... And seeing as I’ve been let down by the last couple of movies I’ve covered on this show- Today I’m going to be selfish and talk about an entry in the Fox X-Men universe that I love. A film that breathed new life into the decaying franchise with exciting new timelines and a fresh filmmaker with bright eyes and a passion for comics. A movie that promised a very exciting future for the coming X-Men adventures... And we were almost immediately let down. But we did get a few great entries in the First Class saga and that’s where we’re going to begin for today. I just can’t handle any more bad superhero movies right now without getting depressed. So, in today’s video I’m going to revisit Matthew Vaughn’s X-cellent 2011 prequel film, X-Men: First Class.
Now, this movie (and really this entire collection of movies) is sort of a soft reboot of the X-Men series that was originally led by Brian Singer. This film introduced Charles Xavier as a young man in the 1960s whose life purpose is found through his discovery of a way to help other mutants hone their abilities and use them for good. The film feels like a new telling of the X-Men altogether with some continuity changes and switcharoos being present throughout the film, but it also is the same film that came before Fox brought back the original cast for a time-travel crossover film adaptation of “Days of Future Past”- so honestly- don't get too caught up on the timeline and continuity of these movies because, boy is it fucked.
But in any scenario- First Class truly represents what makes the X-Men such a juggernaut (pun very intended) in the comic book community. It’s a story about family, purpose, sacrifice, and rebirth, and it really is one of those movies that I swoon over every time I watch it so, let’s see if today’s video goes better than the last few- on Marvel Revisited.

![Okay, We Have A New Favorite...FIRST TIME WATCHING X-Men: First Class (2011) [Reaction]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CgUHRDxvYT0/mqdefault.jpg)
This was very refreshing after people were underwhelmed by both The Last Stand and Origins: Wolverine
#IBlameAviArad
This came out at the perfect age for me. I can’t say how many times I’ve watched it, especially when it was free on the movie channels
"Who are you?!"
"Let's just say that I'm Frankenstein's monster. And I'm looking for my creator."
Chills every time!
Simon Kinberg proved that he can do a better job as a producer than as a writer
In fact, he was the one who pitched Matthew Vaughn to direct this movie, after seeing KICK-ASS
I really enjoyed X-Men first class. The scene where Magneto takes out his former concentration camp guards in the bar was chilling. Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy were awesome as Magneto and Charles Xavier.
First Class was and is my favourite X Men film and possibly one of my favourite hero films full stop.
The MCU will never make a Magneto of their own more tragic than this
We had 2 perfect Magneto characters in a row! We need an MCU magneto like that for sure
Rose Byrne stripping to her lingerie to infiltrate the Hellfire Club will live with me forever. Best scene in any X-Men movie.
You don't get to see that in the MCU
lol
I loved Henry Jackman's score so much that I made a video of the first AVENGERS with the theme "Rage and Serenity"
Epic!
Jackman is great! He also did Captain America: The Winter Soldier!
That opening scene with Magneto drinking beer with the "pig farmers", tension building up as they gradually realize why he's really there... chef's kiss! 😘
Just like the opening scene from Inglorious Bastards, they set the bar really high from the beginning. 🏆
. Whoever cast Fassenbender as MagNEATo was MAGNIFICENT at their job.
Hands down
Best movie of 2011
This remains my favorite of the X-Men films. Second to Logan if you count solo outings.
Maybe I should do a tier list ranking of our favorite x-men films… hmmm 🧐
@@JoBloOriginals I’m all about it!
Beast's design is a reference to his secondary mutation in New X-Men, where he looks more cat like
Fassbender as Magneto saved all these movies
I thought Magneto's background and what he went through was especially well done in this movie. You really can't blame him for what he does cos he has been through it all before. You might even find yourself rooting for him and then have to remind yourself that he's actually a villain but you still can't blame him either lol. Now that's good writing!!
My favorite X-Men movie, without a doubt! Loved Vaughn's stylish direction, the james-bondish vibe, the music, the cast! And the best scene? "Between rage and serenity" - It was beautiful!
This Beast's face reminds me of The Cat in the Hat, but blue
Best line...I've been at the mercy of men just following orders before, never again.
I had zero interest in this when it came out, as it felt too soon and desperate for a reboot. But I was home sick one day in 2012 and finally watched it on streaming and was pleasantly surprised. I will say that while Jennifer Lawrence gives a better performance, Rebecca Romijin will always be my preferred Mystique. Also, this is the only one of the McAvoy Xmen movies not released in 3D.
The best X-Men by far. Really enjoy the dark gritty tone of it
Awesome movie the coin through shaw's head while Xavier has him frozen with his mind screaming in pain is a brutal death scene
One of my favorite X-Men films. Fassbender is truly magnetic (wink, wink) as Magneto. Loved the Wolverine cameo. I agree that the retcons of the story doesn't ruin the experience of watching the movie. And honestly, even though this movie was released the same year as the first Captain America and the first Thor, I would still say this was the best Marvel movie that year. I am watching X-Men '97, and I can't wait to see how it ends
I gotta say, I loved that they made beast human throughout. I feel that plot point was amazing. It shows us twos sides of the same coin with the ending of raven and hank. And it might be an unpopular opinion but I love this version in comparison to the later movies versions. The CGI didn’t bug me all that much
The score was good too. Especially Magneto's theme
I really liked this movie, it's one of the best out of the live action films. The casting is amazing & I absolutely love the OTT ominous musical score. Very enjoyable watch.
X men first class was such a big and refreshing surprise...one of our favorite x men movies, a great and cool Magneto...amazing work, Congratulations to everyone
Went to theaters for the first one. Was awesome. Remember the cartoons as a kid. You nailed all of it for this movie, good and bad.
At least Days of Future Past was awesome
I loved the "rawness" of First Class. It was a brilliant new starting point for the series and the relationship between Manito and the Professor was so brilliantly peeled back.
X-Men First Class is my favorite live action X-Men movie.
What’s amazing is that Vaughn managed to wrangle All of this into a coherent movie when he had an EXTREMELY RUSHED shooting and post production schedule (it was released in June of 2011 and only began filming in October of 2010! Ridiculously rushed!)
X:Men First Class and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance are two of my favorite guilty pleasure movies for similar reasons.
Except that First Class was good, unlike Spirit of Vengence
@@Zombiesnyder13 I enjoyed them with exactly the same parts of the brain. I am awesome that way.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
I've been a huge X-Men fan since watching the 90's cartoon as a kid. I love most of the movies and can enjoy even the lesser ones to some extent. Even though I have strong ties to the first two X-Men movies from my youth, my favorite films in the series are First Class and Days of Future Past. I feel they are the best representation of the X-Men; combining the best elements from the comics, cartoon, and previous movies. They are so infinitely re-watchable to me that I much prefer them over most modern comic book adaptations in the age of the MCU and DCEU. They're just great movies!
Love this entry in the X-Men saga 😊🎉
Love it!! Top 5 super hero movie !!
I was over X-Men movies by the time this movie came out
Loved 1st class thought they did a great job with it
This is my favorite X Men movie
Jim lees X-men brought me in
One of the best X-Men movies ever. I think it was magic that they got Kevin Bacon to play the main villain. My 2 favorite scenes and it had both Charles and Erik in it: Magneto moving the radar dish that elicited a tear from him after Charles instilling belief in his abilities, and the scene where Magneto kills him with the coin, while Charles helplessly watching, unable to stop him, was intensely satisfying. Although I wished they had cast someone else to play Emma Frost. JJ had the looks, but her acting was bland imo
This was the best X-Men-Movie and would have been a great Reboot, but it has been ruined pretty fast after this again
Its Good 👍
The one thing that I hate about the movie is how Eric and Charles act like raven is so much younger than them, especially Magneto, when she is clearly they're own age.
Solid review.
I love this video and I love the passion in it. Just wanna say though that the clicking noise and the letters and numbers flashing on the screen was very distracting. Other then that, top marks!
Love this movie! Top ten of mine
I thought the musical score was great, especially so at the point where Eric lifts the sub out of the ocean!
One of the best X-Men films more so after X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

1sr class was cool but I’ve not seen ANY of 97, YET!
Mystique always acts like she has no clue or wonder about nightcrawler always bothered me
I thought it was the best in the series, and I think X-Men'97 is better than the original show.
I deal with the continuity errors between the FOX X-Men movies, as each movie taking place on a different multiversal earth. Each only slightly different from each other.
Hey! I enjoyed New Mutants, would be cool if they placed Super Heroes in other genres, look at Winter Soldier!
Fun fact, they initially created mutants because they were running out of original superpower origin ideas for new characters.
Yes and yes
I agree. This movie was awesome.
I resented this movie at first.
2:31 - insane order bro.. and no Logan
I thought the first class was ok. Felt rushed.
I was so disappointed in Last Stand, that it took me years to watch this one. Even when it was recommended to me. Only when Days of Future Past was announced, i took the time too see First Class. It became my favorite x-men movie, until DoFP surpassed it later.
Who were those red & blue guards of the hellfire club?
It definitely loses points for its treatment of Darwin, but overall is probably the best X-Men movie.
This movie is one of the many reasons why I prefer Fox's X-Men over the MCU
We miss the old days but we’re optimistic about dead pool 3 bringing in some mutant talent!
Over the MCU in general or what you think the MCU will do with the X-Men?
@@alexricky87 Both
First Class is put on a pedestal it doesnt deserve. Ffs they kill off an unkillable mutant, if thats not a example of the quality...
The Magneto and Hellfire stuff was pretty good, but Xavier's group was lame. Mystique was better in the first trilogy.
97 absolutely crushes the whole first class series
This movie and days of future past are my favorite x-men movies. they make it hard to watch the original trilogy because they're so much worse. Apocalypse and dark phoenix were so disappointing.
Man this movie 🎬 is amazing, the sequels were terrible 😅
You didn't mention the fantastic music by Henry Jackman 🤨😡
No one ever thinks about what it is like to be the mutants. Would you really want to bw blue and furry or be able to control magnetism? What about quality of life or personal relationships? Being a certain type of mutant would really suck
A flawed film, but a fairly entertaining one despite its flaws.
Does "The New Mutants" even count?
'First Class' was awesome, 'Days of the Future Past' was brilliant, and 'Apocalypse' was good - a great trilogy!
I’m still waiting for my first X-Men movie to come out. they all kind of so far suck
Yea i didn't like that whole scene either for tha same reason.. it just kept goin on an on an on!!! Jesus it just wouldn't die
First Class wasnt that great. There were no outstanding action scenes n was dull.
I'm really sick of people trying to reform the fox movies like they were any good. If you didn't hate these movies , you're nearly brain dead. Fan boys basically look at these movies through rose tinted backward binoculars.
I dunno about all that but I do agree that a good amount of those movies are lame. But the OG film from 2000 still rings my nostalgia bells. Also what about Logan? That movie rules!
I’m not braindead but I appreciate your comment and understand why you dislike the x-men fox films.
@JoBloOriginals All of the fox films take a giant shit on the source material, Retconed things that didn't need to be retconed, and are full of plot holes. I especially hate anything that includes their version of wolverine. I don't mind hugh jackman as an actor but he couldn't have been a worse casting for the character. He's super tall and in no way acts like logan or at least the logan comic readers know. The only redeeming feature in any of the movies was their depiction of quicksilver. I view these actors being brought into the m c u as a complete travesty. They had one chance to save the franchise and instead they're shitting the bed like amber heard.
As a life-long X-Men fan I hated these movies. Terrible cast and the writing was really dumbed down to an insulting level.
The only good X-Men movie.
Its not even better than X2 😂
@@EmperorGuyverIt's not even better than Last Stand.
@@Axolotl_Mischief Idk if i go that far, the only 2 worse than that are Origins and Dark Phoenix
Zoe Kravitz's character almost brought this movie back to X3 levels of corniness. They need to stop casting her in movies. She is a terrible actor.
Jennifer Lawrence ruins everything.
So...Mystique is as young as Xavier and is his "sister", Shaw doesn't absorb knietic energy and convery it to strength, Havoc is much older than Scott and joined the X-Men first, and on and on and on...
...but having Beast start out with a more human form is what you balked at?
I mean, the comics are the comics and the movies are the movies...but the only thing that gave you pause was almost the only comic accurate thing in the film.
Troubling.
it is really dumb cuz u dont even get to see Beast as blue/hairy until the ending. And the plot hole justifying it was lameeee
Disliked this one more than Last Stand. Hated the cast except for Fassbender and the writing/plot was really, really dumb. Could not wait for it to end.
I have never and I will NEVER watch Spirit of Vengeance.
Naaah if you want a great start to the X-men watch X-Men the animated series and X-Men 97. 'Nuff said.
