X-Men: First Class. Hmm. They fiddled with the continuity somewhat (Emma Frost shouldn't be in her 20s in 1962, unless they're effectively going back to the comics...in which case it fits. Hmm.), but the SF explanation, i.e. slower aging, was good enough. In Mystique's case, particularly; it's feasible that someone with such a malleable cellular structure would be resistant to aging to some degree.

Casting, certainly, was spot on, except possibly for Magneto (I agree with an earlier post). January Jones, especially, very much looked the part of the White Queen.

Moira McTaggart, though, has been messed with to an unacceptable extent - she was originally a) a geneticist, b) a colleague of Xavier, c) briefly his lover, and d) a redhead!

The Hellfire Club was unjustly glossed over; they caused the X-Men a whole heap o' trouble, not the least of which was the resurgence of Dark Phoenix thanks to Jason Wyngarde's shameless manipulation of Jean Grey. Well, he got what he deserved...

Loved Wolverine's cameo, though!

One thing that bothered me greatly in a review was the notion of Xavier using his telepathy for personal gain, i.e. gettin' some. This is completely anathema to one of the most moral (if imperfect, as shown later) characters ever created in a comic; my first thought was 'Charles Xavier would not do that.' And he didn't. His use of his powers was much more subtle and in keeping with the Charles Xavier who fought Dark Phoenix to a standstill and died (?) doing it.

Green Lantern is next on my list. I deliberately haven't read the reviews. We shall see.
