Learning about McAvoy's wife tickled me too. That's what really got my own McAvoy-to-watch list started. (Omg, he's the goat in Narnia? *iz wary*) But I enjoyed XMFC plenty.
I've been a casual fan of The X-Men since the early eighties, but I kinda hate to see things redone/recast so quickly (as in, so soon on the heels of the, erm, Picard/Gandalf version - then again, maybe I'm just getting old, and time is passing more quickly than it feels to me o_0 ).
I've been mostly following Inception fandom comms lately, where they've been quick to point out the sexism. (And, unlike some films that I've heard accused of such, this film deserves it, wants it, even.) I know it's all a part of the 'realism' and 'drama,' but it works better for some things within the film (like the blindness it gives Charles that costs him Mystique's loyalty) than others (do I really need 'this needs ice' or 'back to the typing circle' to know who the bad guys are? no, I don't - it's just irritating to me). *shrugs*
Even so, I may or may not have an excellent copy of it on my computer right now :-) (that may or may not have taken me a week to download :-/ ) and I'll definitely be buying the dvd (or even the br) when it's released. Yup, even bad dramatic choices can't keep a good X-Men fan down. :-p
What's this? McAvoy starred in a couple of films with his wife? I must be off to imdb! XD
