Why Critics Are Stupid #1: X-Men First Class

Here is the first of what I assume will be a series of rants from me about how truly stupid some move critiques can be (and yes, those can include mine). While reading the reviews of the film X-men: First Class, one of the biggest critiques of the film was the fact that it was very predictable. Really? The issue is that a film that has been billed as the prequel to a well known comic book series as well as a well known movie trilogy is predictable. What was too predictable? Was it the fact that Magneto and Prof. X ended up parting ways at the end? Or was it the fact that Magneto didn't die? Was it the fact that Prof. X began referring to his students as the X-men? Of course the movie was predictable, it was a prequel of things that have already happened. People know what is going to happen, what they want to know is how it is going to happen. Moral of the rant, when going to see a movie you certainly should refer to what the critics are saying about it but don't take everything they say as Gospel because, as I said, critics can often be quite stupid.
