New X-men

[Nocte]

All those mutants exist (although renamed in one or two cases) in the comics. Don't fault the movie for the powersets of the characters - those were created by Marvel, fault the movie for picking the most obscure fucking characters to include in the movie. The real members of the First Class were Beast, Jean Grey, Cyclops, Iceman, and Angel (the blonde dude with the bird wings, not the stripper with the bug wings).

I gave the movie a 5/10, myself. They focused more on Xavier's non-canonical friendship with Mystique (who was played by a total hottie, though) rather than his friendship with Magneto, which is what the movie was supposed to be about. Also, Kevin Bacon is an unconvincing bad guy, I kept expecting a Kenny Loggins song to start and a dance montage to follow.
