X-Men First Class- First Rate Movie

X-Men first class directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass), is a prequel to the hit and miss X-men series. This movie series tends to be more on the fun side than the movie quality side; luckily this one is able to nicely balance both.
     X-men takes place during the Cold War. WW3 is on the brink of happening and blah blah blah government hates mutants blah blah blah Kevin Bacon's a douche blah blah blah black guy dies first. And that's only the first 30 minutes! This movie is action packed but also contains a predictable love sub-plot, ok well kind of predictable (SPOILERS-Mystique tried so hard but Beast has really got to learn some new moves if the sequel, I mean Kelsey Grammer played the same role in X-men 3 and Kelsey got in a car crash with a hooker a couple of years back!!-SPOILER DONE). Luckily the love plot is nicely handled and is only in the movie briefly.
     The movie is also action packed, but sadly this is the only place where the movie really falters. The special effects are really inconsistent. Some are amazing (like the submarine rising out of the water) some are laughable (Mr. Tornado man in the 1st half of the movie). Also the action tended to be more mutant vs. human till the last part of the movie and that's just unfair. The humans can't put up any fight (even the terrorist from Iron Man 1 did a better job then these idiots) and it made the fight scenes ho-hum.
     But really I'm nit-picking because the only major problem in this movie is that WE as Americans proved James McAvoy, that slimly British bastard right. He said the Brits dumb down movies for Americans. Of course I didn't believe that! look at the King's Speech! That didn't seem dumb downed (until they had to reedit 4 uses of "Fuck" out of the movie for it to receive a Pg-13 rating). Then...I saw X-men. The movie itself wasn't dumb…but my audience:

• 2 guys almost got in a fist fight during the movie over texting during the movie
• 6 screaming 8 years olds sat right behind me and would only shut the fuck up when JFK was on (probably because they were trying to figure out why Obama looked so different in the movie)
• and a rather large woman brought in her screaming baby and decided to sit right next to me and take up my drink holder, with her love handles.
• and finally a group of 20 something Goth girls were yelling "take that bitch" during the final action scene

Well I guess you win McAvoy, but at least I don't have to put Vinegar on my food to make it taste good you fucker!
