I was a member of Nuffnang 5 years ago but then after my Gmail account got hijacked I kinda stopped all of it and concentrated on my design work. But with B&L Magazine starting fresh as one of our family websites that will cater to what we really love, I decided to put on some spice again by putting on some ads of course if its in Asia you should really consider Nuffnang. The thing I love about them is that they invite you to join their events and contests.The Goldilocks Party few years back was the first ever one I attended and it was funtastic!
Now came the contest about First Class which pretty obvious that its a screening for the movie X-men First Class. The contest was to write something why Nuffnang and Hapee are first class and put the badge with a big X on our posts. I never expected anything but God my simple and well researched infos made its worth.
Hapee launches their new tooth paste this month which has Maximum Fluoride Protection called Fresh and Cool White with Cool Tech 10. We were given samples as we claimed out tickets.
After an hour of waiting enthusiastically well of course we have to eat for I forgot that I had only snacks for lunch so me and a friend indulge over Hershey’s free ice cream… YUM! and still head over to NYFD and enjoyed the hotdog sandwich and fries.
After an introduction from Nuffnang and of course the non-working air condition of Greenbelt Cinema 2 the show finally started.
It’s all about an optimistic Charles Xavier believing in an evolved form of species called mutants and an revenge and angst driven Erik who wants to take his hands over Hellfire Club’s ambitious leader and turned out to be the world’s most feared leader - Magneto. Will you ever watch it, if it was called X-Men Origins: Magneto?
TOP 10 things we loved about this movie
1. Beast – We’re not just shocked at those feet but Hank was totally handsome gone grizzly and hell yeah FAST!
2. The hand gestures – Charles put’s his finger on his side of the head while Erik is putting so much weight over his hands.
3. Havoc – Cyclops’ bro doesn’t seem of a bad guy but his powers are bad-ass! Finally a glimpse of those destructive blasts.
4. Banshee – A geeky looking kid who looks weird when he’s screaming high pitch not what I expected but yeah he’s one funny guy after all.
5. Mystique – Yes she is one confused kid after all..Of course if I’m blue and red haired I really wanted to be accepted but she’s an extreme copy-cat and soon to be best in deception.
6. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend or how about a woman’s skin? See how Emma Frost wears those diamonds as protection to telepathy.
7. Cerebro – its not a golf ball but one of Hank’s masterpieces that amplified telepathic waves to track down mutants all over the world. Wolverine had some freakin feature.. saying F*CK OFF to both Charles and Erik. Yes it’s not a trip to a salon!
8. Amazing Telepaths – Its pretty obvious its Charles and Emma but I think those diamond defenses are way too cool and it can even cut glass.
9. The Old School Uniforms that were custom made to fit every member of the team. Its really 60s but not so bad. Look at Mystique LOL!
10. Beast flying a Jet! – Its like Planet of the Apes gone blue and hi-speed. But seriously grow up to that more friendly looking beast.
Now Let’s Spoil it! The Plot of it all
At a German concentration camp in occupied Poland during 1944, young Erik Lensherr is separated from his parents by Nazi guards. The child’s desperate mind remarkably bends a metal gate until a guard knocks Lensherr unconscious. Scientist Sebastian Shaw, who has observed this through a window, calls Lensherr up to see him. Placing a metal coin on a desk, he orders Lensherr to use his magnetism power to move it. When Lensherr cannot, despite his best efforts, Shaw shoots and kills Lensher’s mother in front of him. In his rage, Lensherr’s out-of-control magnetic power kills the two guards and destroys two rooms, to Shaw’s delight. Around this same time, in a Westchester County, New York, mansion, a young Charles Xavier meets a young, shape-shifting girl named Raven, scrounging for food in the kitchen. Overjoyed to meet someone else “different” like him, he says she can come live with his family.
In Switzerland in the movie’s present-day of 1962, Lensherr forces a banker to trace a bar of Nazi gold to Shaw’s address in Argentina. In a tavern there patronized by former German soldiers, Lensherr kills three men as he learns that Shaw has a yacht in Florida. Meanwhile, in England, Oxford University graduate Xavier is publishing his thesis on mutation; his foster sister Raven, a waitress, lives with him. Simultaneously in Las Vegas, Nevada, CIA agent Moira MacTaggart follows U.S. Army Colonel Hendry into the Hellfire Club, where she sees a now-young Sebastian Shaw, Emma Frost, and Azazel. After Shaw threatens Hendry, Azazel disappears with the officer; moments later he is in the War Room, advocating that U.S. install nuclear missiles in Turkey.
MacTaggart seeks Xavier’s advice on mutation, and takes Xavier and Raven to the CIA to convince the chief that Shaw is a threat. After convincing them that mutants exist they are to be taken to a covert facility, but first Xavier tracks down Shaw. Lensherr attacks Shaw, and when Shaw escapes in his submarine Lensherr tries to stop him, but Xavier stops him so that he does not drown. Lensherr joins Xavier and Raven at the CIA facility, where they meet Hank McCoy, another mutant that Xavier accidentally outs. McCoy and Xavier use a prototype Cerebro to locate mutants and recruit several of them to train to stop Shaw.
Shaw plans to meet with a Russian general, but sends Frost instead, who is then captured by Xavier and Lensherr. The facility is attacked by Azazel, Riptide and Shaw, with all the guards being killed. Shaw recruits Angel and kills Darwin. When Lensherr and Xavier return they begin to train the mutants, though Raven is conflicted about hiding her natural form.
President Kennedy institutes a blockade. Shaw travels with the Russian fleet to ensure that the missiles get to Cuba. Xavier, MacTaggart and Lensherr fly to the blockade to stop the fleets from engaging. Shaw uses a nuclear core to charge himself up and a helmet to block Xavier’s telepathy. While Azazel kills the crew of the Russian missile ship, Xavier uses his powers to make a Russian ship destroy the missile ship before it crosses the line. Lensherr pulls Shaw’s submarine from the water, but an attack forces the jet and submarine to crash. Lensherr finds Shaw and removes his helmet and Xavier takes control of Shaw. Lensherr puts on the helmet, then kills him by forcing the coin that Shaw taunted him with through his brain. The two fleets fire their missiles at the mutants, but Lensherr, now fully in control of his abilities, holds the missiles in the air, then turns them on the fleet. In the ensuing fight Xavier manages to distract Lensherr, but when MacTaggart fires at Lensherr he deflects the bullets, with one hitting Xavier’s spine and paralyzing him. Lensherr takes Raven, Riptide, Angel and Azazel and leaves. Xavier and the mutants return to the mansion, where he will open a school. He wipes MacTaggart’s memory, and Lensherr breaks Frost out of the CIA headquarters, and in his new uniform he tells Frost to call him Magneto. [Wikia]
The final end of it.. the helmet and the awful costume LOL
Overall its a 4 out of 5 star movie! Thanks to Nuffnang and Hapee for the tickets!
