Without even needing to see the trailer I'll give it a resounding 'Meh'. This franchise should have ended before the 3rd film was released, let alone the Wolverine Origins movie, which is also getting a sequel, purportedly being directed by Darren Aronofsky.

it looks WAAAAAY to modern for the proposed era, and I gotta admit, I don't always need to see the backstory fleshed out on beloved characters, but I sure hope it's decent. It's definitely showing some high production values.

At this point, anything is better than that last X-Men movie, or even Wolverine. That movie pissed me off so bad.

I wanna see it.

I've never been a comic book buff, so inaccuracies and the like don't bother me. But it looks entertaining to me

Looks too modern.

Doesn't look anything like the previous canon regarding Magneto and Xavier's backstories.

Also, shouldn't X-Men:First Class be the original X-men? (Jean Grey, Cyclops, Ice Man, Beast (without hair) and Angel?)

I thought they were already doing a Magneto Origins movie?

AGREED. He singlehandedly ruined deadpool. RUINED. Thing is, it wasn't even great but he ruined Blade Trinity too.

I agree. I can't stand his persona! Why must all his characters have the same smart alecky, smarmy like personas? And why is he getting so many Hero/Mutant roles? He's wearing out his welcome!

That's exactly what I'm talking about. He is just reprising his Van Wilder role for everything he's in. I mean to be fair, Deadpool was a pretty snarky smartass character too, but something got lost in the translation there entirely...no wonder Scarlett Johannson is divorcing him...one day she woke up an said "holy crap, I was in Lost in Translation, and I married the lead douche from Van Wilder! WTH was I thinking?"

+1 I am always up for seeing a superhero movie, even if it may totally stink.
