"The cast is almost absurdly easy on the eyes and is most powerful at the top, thanks to the intense Fassbender, who will now need no audition if Daniel Craig decides to give up Bond after another picture or two." This quote is from the Hollywood Reporter review of X-Men:First Class which did not open that well in the USA so hopefully this inane drone of a critic is clueless as to what they are saying. Someone had better calm down Alessandra after their comment for it won't bode well for Henry if this becomes reality. This isn't exactly much of change from the egg-stained Bond currently on display by Eon if you ask me:

Sure, the first X-Men movie opened to $54.5 million, but $55.1 million in 2011 is far less impressive than $54.5 million in 2000. The first X-Men's start was the equivalent of over $79 million adjusted for ticket price inflation. More telling, though, is that First Class marked a sizable step down from X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which made $85.1 million in its opening weekend."
