There seem to be lots of things missing or that just plain don't work.
That's not a question. Its a statement. It's an honest mistake to be sure, but maybe its a sign that you should start spending more time thinking about how you might improve yourself and a little less time nitpicking every little detail of any given website.

The plot is borrowed from every other X-Men movie conjuring the holocaust and all its badness. They show you how Charles Xavier and Eric Lehnsherr (Magneto) meet. You also get to see how they collect a few mutant friends on the way to the big ending...if thats what you can call it. The movie is decent enough, but it falls short of the current expectations for super hero movies. Where most super-hero movies are larger than life on the action and special effects but fail to deliver on the plot and performance, First Class fails on the other side. You have a proven story with better than average performances but just no visual pizazz. Another problem with the movie is the lack of story connecting the characters together. If anyone can figure out why the First Class kids went a long for the ride, let me know. It seemed to me that they, with their lackluster powers and unapparent motivation never really needed to be there past the "oh my god, look who it is" value to those members of the audience familiar with the franchise. All this mixed with a comic book frame sequence remnant of Ang Lee's "Hulk" left me far from concerned when the movie finally ended. So yeah, I wish there had been more action, special effects and explosions. Kevin Bacon almost delivered...Damn you Magneto. The happy bonuses in the movie are Michael Ironside (billed as M. Ironside for some reason) looking as annoyed as only Michael Ironside can. Also, as my friend Adam pointed out, the movie will provide so many new solutions for Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon that you might not even have to reference Footloose anymore. In the end, it's worth 6 bucks but if you are looking for a big screen spectacular, save the money and grab this one at the redbox. But whatever you do...stay till the end of the credits. It's worth it. Leave Comment:

This movie struck me as unmotivated on all fronts. I didn't stay after the credits though, what happens? 
When the movie first came out I read this and stayed after the credits all excited.. Then when the credits came... and nothing happened. >:( 
Lol @ Ferny. The reason I DIDN'T stay til after the credits was because I read this and knew Mike was a big assholejerkface. 
i actually found a couple of flaws, one including, in x-men last stand they showed magneto and professor X going to see Jean Grey when she was young, and professor X was not in a wheelchair in that scene, however we learn that in x-men first class professor X is wheelchair bound when magneto became magneto, so he should have been in a wheelchair....
