The X-Men are back!

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2015)

The X-Men have been laying low over the years after 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand. While The Wolverine emerged in 2013, the X-Men emerged in 2014's best film since Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Set in the dystopian future where humanity is enslaved by robots called the Sentinels, the X-Men send Wolverine back to the past to 1973 to rewrite history and change the franchise for the better. Everyone from the original trilogy and First Class return in an outstanding ensemble cast. Hugh Jackman returns as the Wolverine who is now old, James McAvoy reprises his role as a more broken Charles Xavier, Michael Fassbender further explores his role as the menacing Magneto. The stand out however is Jennifer Lawrence who's portrayal as Mystique is amazing and spectacular to watch. The movie is emotional, eye popping and action-packed with scenes that are unique and a driving story. The second story in the First Class trilogy, X-Men returns to the public with the highly anticipated Deadpool Movie and X-Men: Apocalypse!
