Movie Review: Xmen - First Class

I really don't know how to review this. I never read much of the comics, I know most of the history I do thanks to WikiPedia and other website gurus. So when I went into the theaters I had nothing in which it could ruin. Unlike many other films based off things, I enjoyed this movie. I think that the history and the development of different connections and psychosis, was excellent.

I thought the casting was awesome, and that everyone played their roles pretty well. There were very few fluidity issues, and it could go seamlessly into that of original movies. With the exception that I was under the impression that Havoc was Cyclopes' younger brother. So there was an age thing that threw me off.

The new display of powers were really interesting, and bringing in the new and yet classic characters were awesome. Emma Frost for one, was spot on.

All in all a good movie.

To a young girl I work with, who is sixteen and has dealt with sexual issues, and eating disorders. She was telling me her story one day, upset because the progress she was making wasn’t being noticed by the people in power. I looked her straight in the face, and said “It matters, because you matter.”

Two Words.

You. Matter.

These two words rocked her world, and changed her tears into a smile. These are the two words that mean more then anything else anyone can ever say to you, or that you can ever say to anyone.

People focus on “I Love You” as being the most powerful phrase.

But it’s over used, and often doesn’t mean as much as people would like it to mean.

Having someone look at you and say “You Matter”, knowing that there is someone that thinks your are worth thinking about. That is how you make it through the day.

This is me saying it to you. You Matter.
