...Fast Five - more fun?

Hard to believe.

I've seen a couple of the previous ones, but X-Men has never appealed that much to me.

This is a prequel and it tells the story of how it all came together.... - mr grits 15:13:31 06/04/11 (3)
It's all fantasy but well done. Plus, January Jones is mesmerizing.
- You didn't answer the question... - mkuller 18:03:11 06/04/11 (2)
  ...prequel, sequel, schmequel.
  
  Just an excuse to make more money with younger actors.
  - Since your taste runs towards the mundane (fast cars) you may not like.... - mr grits 18:45:11 06/04/11 (1)
    X-Men as much as your car chase drama.
    - LOL! Yeah, X-men is a much more nuanced film, more for the intellectual film goer... - Enophile 13:42:42 06/06/11 (0)
      X-men tackles complex intellectual subjects and places these topics within the shared zeigeist of existential angst that existed in the 1960's and has reappeared again in the world's current geopolitical state.
      
      X-men ably compares and contrasts the mores of the early 60's - the objectification of women, the existential threat of "the other," and how we order our social heirarchy - with current X-men lore.
