Well, it was really just one friend. Katie and I hung out to celebrate the fact that she can eat semi-solid foods now. She had surgery on her throat to help with a swallowing problem so, until now, she was on a liquid diet. Anyway, we see each other at least once a month for movies or comic store trips.
This time we saw X-Men: First Class. I haven't been an uber fan of the other movies, just because I was never really exposed to the comics or the cartoon when I was younger. I saw the first movie a while ago, and bits and pieces of the other two, but I have a passable knowledge of the basic storyline and characters. With that said, I thought the movie was pretty good. I thought it moved a little slowly at some parts, but I like the background information about the characters and how they learned to develop their powers.
Kevin Bacon was really good. I wasn't expecting him to speak German so well. Is he fluent in real life? And he was believably evil. I was paying special attention to Jennifer Lawrence, since she'll be playing Katniss in the future and I haven't seen Winter's Bone yet. I thought she was pretty good. There were some moments of the movie that I especially liked, such as Xavier using the machine to find mutants and the training that they went through before their fight. Overall, it's a good introduction to the characters. I really want to watch the first one again now. Good day with a good friend :)
