Not going by the original source is fine, if the material is still good. I do not think First Class succeeded in this case. Everybody was easily forgettable, especially characters that weren't established in the previous films. The script was also pretty hackmeat most of the time, I just couldn't stay interested. Sure, it's better than The Last Stand. Damn near ANYTHING was better than The Last Stand. That doesn't mean the film doesn't have problems.

I think it's better to have one slip up than to have it beat you over the head say "Look! It's the 60's! Look! Bellbottoms! Afros! Go-Go Boots! Elvis! TIE-DIE!!!!!! WOOOO."

That being said, I agree that most of the characters are forgettable. The one thing we remember from X-Men movies are the powers and, I have to say, other than Mystique, Professor X, Magneto, Beast, and Emma Frost (who was already in X-men Origins), I had no clue who ANYONE was. I remember a guy who yelled, someone betraying them, someone (I think the black guy) dieing, and Nightcrawlers dad. I'm a big nerd (to the point I know who Nightcrawler's dad is) and if I don't know who you are, you must be obscure to the non-fans (I'm looking at you Sebastian Shaw/Keven Bacon).

I still like it though.

I also feel they did a poor job representing the era it was suppose to take place in, which was the 60's. Doesn't help that they used a 2008 song.

So, while everyone was saying this was the perfect comic book movie, I thought it had a poor storyline and dissatisfying ending. I also really don't like Michael Fassbender. The only role I think he did a perfect job was the cyborg from Prometheus.

Another one I don't like was the last live action resident evil. I like them as a stupid novelty but YOU DO NOT KILL A BOSS THAT EASILY!

Justin Bieber songs every two minutes, obnoxious characters, and really the whole story is just running from danger to different locations. People loved this movie for reasons I can't fathom because there is NOTHING here!

You mean songs that sound like Justin Bieber songs and not him actually singing it? Cause the former I maybe can tolerate but the latter would make me wish to travel all the way to Pixar and burn that place to the ground if I knew they had him singing in a Disney film.

They're so simplistic and stupid they sound like something he would write, plus all the songs sounded exactly the same. Everyone made such a big deal over the song Let it Go when it did nothing to distinguish itself from the other songs.

Aren't they even re-releasing it in theaters as a sing along version? There's nothing you can sing along to or even a single catchy tune!

The only good part of the film was when Anna wanders into a store and meets the only decent character who, I might add, shocked the heck out of me because Disney made it pretty obvious he's gay. I've yet to hear any wacky parental groups bitch about him, but they were probably too dense to pick up on it.

It wouldn't be a problem if just the kiddies were liking this film. There's people older than me raving about it and even the critics are going nuts. It is not like Shrek; the internet never went crazy about Shrek. Tumblr won't shut the hell up about Frozen and nearly all my pals are reblogging stuff related to it. Even the surprisingly nice Disney Subreddit is all Frozen, Frozen, Frozen. Where was this excitement over Wreck it Ralph?
