X

Last Wednesday I went to see X-Men First Class on it's opening night. The local Cineworld was jam-packed and at £7.40 a head they must have raked it in that night! I do love the X-Men though and have enjoyed all three films so far. I was excited about this fourth outing as it covers the origins of Magneto, Professor X, Beast and Mystique. The movie didn't disappoint and threw in the origins of a load more mutants who would normally not get a look in: Havok, Azazel and Riptide to name a few. Even Wolverine growls hello but no more than that as he's had his own origins movie so I can't complain [the hirsute one is my favourite character]. Fans of X-planes will enjoy the X-Jet Blackbird scenes. I couldn't help thinking about a huge SpaceX Space Patrol 1 watching it. It's not too big a stretch of the imagination to think that a few late-Sixties comic fans will have read Marvel's X-Men, whilst excitedly clutching a favourite SpaceX vehicle in their free hand! Excelsior! Anyone else seen the movie?
