Minor Spoiler: Emma Frost’s importance in ‘X-Men: First Class’

Sunday, May 22nd, 2011

Another review attended an early screening of the movie and wrote a positive report, and here’s his verdict on Emma Frost’s (January Jones) scale of importance.

I like the way history folds into the movie and it is clever without being annoying. It all makes nice thematic sense, and I think it’s well utilized. I was afraid it was going to be very “Forrest Gump,” but it’s actually pretty simple and direct. I think Sebastien Shaw (Kevin Bacon) is a pretty tremendous bad guy, and the way he pushes Charles and Erik to further define their own moral codes makes him more than just This Movie’s Magic Power. He’s not “just” a bad guy. He is, in essence, the thing that forces Charles and Erik to figure out who they really are. January Jones doesn’t have much to do as Emma Frost, but she wears the heck out of some costumes.

Don’t worry..it’s not the end of the world. At least we know we’ll be getting several scenes of Emma Frost in several different outfits and that “there’s even a range of reasons that explain why Emma Frost is always dressed the way she is,” according Bleeding Cool.
