Pretty tight, huh? Much better than Crap-tain 'Murrca. Even though I like the idea of a superhero without super powers (e.g. Batman) such as El Captain, I still like to have my eyes pleasured by seeing someone act like Chris Brown and toss an SR-71 Blackbird around like its Rihanna...I hope you get that joke.

Plus it'd be cool to have Magneto's ability, am I right? I'd be so lazy. I'd sit in a metal chair with wheels and never get up. I'd still work like normal, but I would also do the superhero thing as well. For extra cash I'd make metal sculptures using only the fillings from the peoples teeth I'd save. I'd be so hated....but also so loved. Aaaaaaannd that joke is dead. Moving on.

Anyway, I think this is a trailer done RIGHT, seeing as how the past few have been poopy. Yeah thats right; I said poopy.

Even though X-Men movies have a shaky history among fans, I really think the mistakes of those past films have been accounted for and overcome with this new one. I mean, for Pete's sake, they put Emma Frost in this one - and Kevin Bacon! I know, right?! It's like they read my mind when they cast this...

.................?

Wait a second............Kevin Bacon? What the...?

Wait, wait, wait; its ok people. I think I know whats going on here. Kevin Bacon realized he hasn't been in a movie since Hollow Man (terrible, btw), so to keep his street cred intact AND to keep all the people who play "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon" happy, which is like everybody, he decided to be in a more current movie. Way to go KB!

Seriously though, and being %100 honest - KB hasn't been in a good movie since.............Tremors. That's just my opinion, but this is MY blog, so I'm allowed my poinion. But that having been said, I'm not entirely sure how much he can bring to this movie, being that he's...well, he's Kevin Bacon. Does it make sense to you?

Even so, I have high hopes for this one, but if I'm going to be fair and platonic with my pre-viewing judgments, I need to say that this movie may LOOK pretty and have a solid story, but we still have yet to see any serious acting from it yet. Thats what will make or break X-Men: First Class, in my opinion (MY blog).

That is all for now. In the words of the great Stan Lee, "Excelsior..............wait...where am I...?"
