I’m actually into different “superhero” movies. However I think out of them all X-Men is my number one favorite. I love when FX did a whole weekend of X-Men movies. I like seeing how good our technology is and artistic makeup can transform these actors and actresses into their characters and make them do anything with their newly fake powers. It excites me!
I’ve seen all three movies and I just finished the X-Men: First Class and it was very interesting to see how these characters of Professor X and Magneto came about. As I watching it I kept looking at these actors and actresses thinking, “where have I seen you in?” I was right on about two characters. Since I don’t watch media news all that much or read any of that before a movie comes out the first time I watch a movie is the first time I see who the actors and actress are who play these characters. I was right on Kevin Bacon and Rose Bryne. I recently just watched Bridesmaids and hated her character in that movie, but loved her in this movie. I’ve seen a few movies with Kevin in it, and his face is recongizable.
I love how while I was watching it after Hank turned blue everything started to make a little sense with his name and how he was a doctor in the other movies. I just didn’t think he looked normal until you saw his feet. When he shot himself with that stuff and started changing everything came to my head so quick I got excited. When Professor X and Magneto were looking for mutants at the beginning and found Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and he told them to fuck off. That was awesome! Then when Raven came into Magneto’s room and changed her look to older, and she changed to her older self from the other movies played by Rebecca Romijn.
I think my favorite character was Raven. She hated being a mutant and just couldn’t accept herself. She and Hank wanted to get rid of how they looked but keep their strength. While they were training to control their powers, Raven was struggling to lift a weight in human form and Magneto came in and she should just accept herself and that she was beautiful the way she was. He released the weight and she caught it in mutatnt form. Then after Hank figured out the cure to it she presented it to her and she started to realize that Magneto was right. There are a couple parts that reflect normal people. The Society does not accept different people. Mutant people are sometimes like disabled people. People don’t accept us and make us feel like we don’t belong. I’m not talking like Magneto and say “we need to rule the world” because that’s stupid. Although people do need to start accepting us for being different. Nobody’s the same. We should just get used to that.
