xmen first class By keeping the continuity of the old films, these characters can only exist in the past. In the past where we know Xavier won’t die. Beast won’t die. Magento won’t do anything earth shattering. No Wolverine. We know what comes next for these characters, and sure, the journey is sometimes more exciting than the destination, but comic books are by definition stories of “what happens next” that’s why we buy the next issue. The only knock I have against this film are these qualms. It seems Fox was eager to cast new actors, new producers, and give a brand new start to the franchise, but for some reason had a problem starting completely fresh. The enjoyment derived from X-Men: First Class, greatly depends on your level of comic book geekdom. Many of the best parts of the film are in-jokes and references to the sweeping and often confusing X-men continuity, and knowing the events that come after this film, in the movies that came out before it; can take this movie to a completely different level of enjoyment.
