This year's summer superhero extravaganza continues with Matthew Vaughn's X-Men trilogy prequel.

I just happen to watch this yesterday and this is what I have to say: X-Men First Class has to be the best Marvel movie I have ever seen in years - in terms of depth.

Yes, I said it. Even better than the first Iron Man and the first Thor movie last month.

X-Men First Class mixes colorful American history, great storytelling, compelling acting, character development and simple-yet-astonishing special effects to create a fun, smart, and emotionally engaging action-drama about mutants trying to find their own niche in the world during the 1960s Cuban missile crisis of World War II.

Mystique and Beast Get It On In Exclusive 50 Second 'X-Men: First Class' Clip

They get it on... well.. sort of.



I'm starting to like Jennifer Lawrence* a lot everyday and I'm sure I'm going to love her more after I watch the movie. She looks gorgeous (and damn hot at that).

Oh, and after seeing all the trailers and numerous tv spots -I think this whole film is going to look great.

2011 Superhero Film Galore List!

The time is fast approaching for the releases most-awaited comic book movie adaptations and to be honest, I think this year is the biggest of them all because we've got 4 big named characters showing up in latex, spandex, gloves, and a toy hammers.

Marvel is really stepping it up and is continuing their Marvel Cinematic Universe by releasing two of their biggest characters on the silver screen, while DC has finally gave one emerald police his chance to shine. Plus the battle of car transforming robots will continue to wage on for the third time and one of comic's most iconic mutant teams will tell their own beginnings during the 1960s. 

Here's the list of movies we've all been waiting for to get our eyes on (more movies after the jump):

(Now I'm wondering how am I going to watch all of these in theaters.. sheesh.)

Thor - May 6, 2011

Our Mjolnir-weilding thunder god's origins will finally be revealed after seeing his hammer at the end of Iron Man 2. 

Stars Chris Hemsworth as Thor and a recently knocked-up-by-a-ballet-dancer-but-still-hot Natalie Portman. Directed by Kenneth Branagh.

I think this is better than Marvel's official poster. 

X-Men: First Class - June 3, 2011

Another origin story for our favorite mutant team of all time set in the 1960s. Its going to be weird seeing Charles Xavier with a load of hair on his feared telephatic head. Its Wesley Gibson with uber-telekenetic powers baby! 

Will star James McAvoy (Xavier), Michael Fessbender (Magneto), January Jones (Emma Frost) and a bunch of other guys that I don't know. Directed by Michael Vaughan.

X-Men: First Class Stills and Teaser Poster Released!

Alright, more X-Men: First Class folks. Forget about those photoshopped pictures, because SPINOFF has the official teaser poster and stills for the long-awaited X-Men movie that would feature how the world-famous mutant team began and focus on the relationship Charles Xavier and Magneto before they became the leaders of their own respective mutant groups.

We got shots of James McAvoy (Xavier) who looks like he's using telepathy, the first still of the whole gang, and two great mind masters playing chess with the cool 1960's feel.

Click here to see more the pictures.

X-Men: First Class is scheduled for release on June 3, 2011.
