Just saw X-Men First Class

Watch toward the end of the film, as the "powers that be" turn their attentions to the mutants (I don't think that's a spoiler), and listen for this line about which I cheered:

"I have had enough of men who are only following orders!"

Otherwise not an awful movie, a bit off the standard catechism but I guess that's to be expected.

Hugh Jackman's appearance in the film, though short, had the entire audience cheering. I think I was the only one cheering the above line, though, sad to say.

Maybe you were the only one in that theater.  We got a group together to watch it too.

For those who haven't seen the movie, it's key to note that the person saying that line was a victim of the Holocaust.  That's not a spoiler either because it's revealed in the first 30 seconds of the film.

I think it was due to the rather high volume level at that point, such that no one heard me, either.
