Any thoughts to the impending "X-Men: First Class" movie?

I heard about Kevin Bacon's casting to the upcoming "X-Men: First Class" movie, yesterday, so it got me curious to what you all think of the concept. And there is still no young Scott yet cast. (Pity.)

Wikipedia doesn't give a bad summary, for those interested:

And it was based on a 2006 comic mini-series, which I didn't know about:

I haven't yet formed an opinion, so feel free to persuade me, either way. As always, you make the call.
