Hating First Class just proves he's smart...

Hating Thor, though? That just feels like bias.
It's sitting at 57% with 16 reviews counted. Not a good start! However, the average review is still a 7.5, which is quite strong. First Class had a 7.4 and Thor only had a 6.7. Even Iron Man only had a 7.6.
The most common complaint seems to be that it tries too hard to tie into the Avengers movie. Shocking, given that it's called "The First Avenger", but I can still see how it would be distracting feeling like you're watching a 2 hour ad for another movie.
I'm apprehensive, but probably still going to see it.

Captain America Hating upper class might go back to him just being "Steve Rogers." I do not know much about his life before Captain America, but I have read that he was the son of Irish Immigrants, and that he liked to paint. Hitler liked to paint too, but that's story for another time.
I would guess that "Steve Rogers," came from a lower class, or middle class family. Upper Class people do one of two things in war, go in as Officers, or don't fight. Steve Rogers originally tried to enlist, and I that's why I believe he was probably middle or lower class.
The saying "It's a rich man's war, and a poor man's fight," is something that Captain America knows well, and probably the reason when he doesn't like upper class.

Its up to 67% and slowly climbing at RT. Overall rating still above 7.0. Metacritic has it at 64; compare that to 58 for Thor, 65 for First Class, and 39 for Green Lantern.
Most of the positive reviews praise it for being simple and good, old-fashioned fun. The negative reviews are still complaining that it's too tied-in to the Avengers. I think I can handle that. Looking forward to seeing it and being entertained, if not wowed or moved.

Thor being first class...I would have to strongly disagree with that. Saying Thor is first class is like saying Captain America is a decent fighter. It's too much of an understatement for godhood.

We're talking about the movie, X-Men: First Class. Nobody is saying Thor IS First Class

First Class received excellent reviews. 86% at Rotten Tomatoes, with an average score of 7.4 - and, importantly, it was at 100% for at least the first day after the early screenings began, which got the hype going, and remained in the 90s for a few days after that. Thor only has 77% with a 6.7 average rating.

You're at ComicCon? Or are these just pictures floating around on the web?
