A while ago I decided that I would not review X-Men first class for my blog; I would just go in and enjoy it (or not) based on its merits. In that light, I refer you to my comment on the Man I Love Films to sum up my thoughts on my experience seeing the film.
If you have seen the film, what do you think?

June 6, 2011 at 10:35 amHi Luv (I hope you don’t mind me calling you this :D) I enjoyed it a lot, but then again I felt like I was predisposed to liking this as I like the X-Men franchise and the fact that the story focuses on my favorite X-Men characters, Xavier and Magneto.
I haven’t got my own review up yet but since I watched X-2 over the weekend as well, I might do a ‘Musings’ post about the franchise instead of a review.

June 6, 2011 at 10:49 amNo worries Ruth 🙂 Luv is fine …
My Fassbender bias is the main reason for my not writing a review.
I am simply going to post responses to reviews for now 🙂
Fassbender was clearly my favorite part of the movie and he did a great job. Character wise I like how it delved further into what makes Erik/Magneto tick and we get to the point where he is what he is in X1, X2, and X3.
