Will see it in theaters

: After the abysmal X-Men Origins: Wolverine (which was preceded by the equally underwhelming X-Men: The Last Stand) it's nice to see Bryan Singer back on board with the franchise. The trailer was a bit boring overall, but some of the cameos in this First Class trailer got me excited: Nightcrawler's father, Azazel; Havok; Mystique; and of course, our young Professor X and Magneto. While McAvoy was a bit silly in Wanted, he was great in The Last King of Scotland, so I can see him pulling off the young Charles. You can bet that I'll be checking this out when it releases later this year.

: I'll admit that I couldn't care less about yet another X-men movie, especially after the disgustingly sappy X-Men: The Last Stand and the so-so X-2. That is, until I watched this trailer, which makes X-Men First Class look like it could turn out to be the most serious X-Men entry yet. Who know, it could be complete crap. I'm intrigued nonetheless. And sometimes origins stories can make for some of the best movies. Batman: Begins, especially the first half centered around how Batman came to be, is my all time favorite movie based on a comic. Though the apparent lack of Wolverine in the new movie is troubling.

Is optimistically cautious
