The movie plot and special effects were great. Character development was well-done and story line matched my memories of comic books as a kid. BUT once again movie producers worked hard to pander to the natural man as best they could. There was no real reason for underwear-clad prostitutes or several of the other scenes. Don't go thinking that it's just a few innuendos: the director does his best to make me and my family uncomfortable while staying just under the rated-R line.

I started a tradition with my son (7 1/2) that my dad did with me. I pulled my son out of school at 11am we went to the first showing of a movie that opened today. It was X-men First Class. It was a good movie (saw it in 2D. not worth 3D but other than Avatar what is). The violence was nothing that he hasn't seen in cartoons or Star Wars cartoons or movies. That said here are the heads up that I love to get from other parents: 1) Approx 5% is in subtitles. Not an issue just a heads up. I chose to whisper what was going on to my son, but you can go either way. 2) Just one F-bomb. Actually appropirate for the character and the scene. I would love to say my son has never heard that but I would be lying. Only once, quick and scene moved on. My son never asked or even brought it up. 3) Don't bother staying till the end of the credits. A lot of Marvel movies have a 1 min film at the end (Iron Man, Thor). This one did not.

This movie provided great backstory info. for the other X-Men movies. However, there are several scenes with skimpily clad women and one use of the f-word along with other minor expletives.

I am not a fan of these types of movies, but this movie was very interesting throughout. I enjoyed it very much. Violence was pretty intense, but, as it is PG-13, nothing graphic. Action packed. I enjoyed it. Good story to it. I would watch it again. Another good thing about this movie is that you don't have to watch it in order, much like The Da Vinci Code. If this is the first movie you watch in the X-Men series, it will not be a problem.

People,There Is More Violence In The Movie Then Sex And Language!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And This Movie Has As Much Violence As X2 X-Men United And X-Men Origins Wolverine

This is the greatest X-Men and superhero film so far. The story and acting are strong, and the action is spectacular. I would also like to say that the performance of James McVoy as Charles Xavier was the greatest performance since Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada.

To every oversensitive,easily offended,delicate little "flower" that has reviewed this film,I have a message for you:Stop...just stop...I have seen this film twice in theaters and found nothing in it that people havent seen already on daytime TV First off,the "infamous" f-bomb that was dropped,your children hear worse than that at school or on the streets...cant keep your little snowflakes pure forever so why not start swearing around them now? And the sexual content...was there any nudity at all?Did you see any nip-slips or any graphic sexual content?No...neither did I...but on here I see the uneducated masses looking for more things to complain about...do not make mountains out of mole hills because you might just cause an earthquake that takes everybody down with you Now...moving on to the film in question...I enjoyed it greatly!Enough to where I would pay to see it twice,perhaps even a third time From the acting to the script...from beginning to end...I saw perfection! Sure,there was a small,barely noticeable flaw here and there,but nothing that would ruin your fun James McAvoy and Micheal Fassbender were amazing as Charles and Erik...not to mention the performance by Kevin Bacon as the villainous Sebastian Shaw January Jones though...Im sure everybody agrees that we could just forget that she was ever in the film (yikes) To make a long review/rant short 90% of these parents and kids know not of what they speak...misguided fools they are as well as oversensitive crybabies who shudder in fear of women in evening wear like little children (another thing,the "sexual" scenes everybody is whining about only take up 2% of the film...roughly 5 to 10 minutes) So my advice to you,let your kids see it...they will certainly enjoy this piece of cinematic gold where they will learn the importance of teamwork,unity and the courage to be who you are,no matter what you may look like or no matter what your powers (or species) may be Enjoy the ride true believers! (Excelsior!!)

This was a good movie, however, I had a few issues. I watched this with my kids (13 and 10) since the other X-Men movies were innocuous and the DVD case said it was PG (not PG-13). The sexuality was overt and Wolverine's cameo could just as easily have used "screw" without losing much effect. The scene with the coin was telegraphed and not really gory, but may affect some younger kids. Overall, this movie was not what I expected in a super hero movie.

I know this movie didn't get as good of reviews as the other X-Men releases did, but I liked it. The movie seemed to be more plot focused instead of just focusing on gratuitous violence.
