2. X-Men: First Class Was A Confusing Mess
This movie was supposed to pick up the reins from the reviled X-Men: The Last Stand, and although it didnt completely stink, it didnt help. It really is a wonder to me that people liked it, or that X-Men fans accepted it. This movie was more about Charles and Eriks bromance than it was about the X-Men. The only X-Man in it was Beast, his role was minor, he looked like an idiot, and he growled like a cat. Rounding out the team was Darwin, Havok, and Banshee, strange choices for your original roster of X-Men by anyones standards, especially when you could sub Cyclops for Havok and Angel for Banshee with little power differences. The movie was teased as a story about how Professor X and Magneto have differing ideas on the roles mutants play in the world, but instead played as a revenge flick against Shaw killing Magnetos mother. After he was killed, the debate was shoehorned in there via missiles being senselessly fired. The professor was anticlimactically crippled as an accidental afterthought, with Magneto and Mystique who are like family to him barely batting an eye. And all of the villains follow Magneto minutes after he murdered their previous boss like brainless tarts because they needed a villainous team shot for a potential sequel before the credits rolled. All of that doesnt even mention the ridiculous continuity errors that this movie and the other prequels present to the original trilogy. Speaking of which...
