X-Men: First Class (2011) - Perhaps, the Only X-Men Movie I Ever Saw!

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2011)

The fifth installment, and prequel, to the hit X-Men series, is brought with a lot of back-story, a lot of action, and a lot of anticipation. "X-Men: First Class" tells the very beginning story of Professor Xavier and Magneto, and the organization of the mutants. Now, I have never seen the other X-Men movies, frankly because they didn't feel interesting to me. But since watching "First Class", I enjoyed it completely, and it was a super movie. This is so far, one of my favorite superhero comic book movies, because it was thrilling to watch on screen, and everything keeps my attention. I was able to be entertained throughout the whole movie, besides the 132 minute run-time. Matthew Vaughn made impressive directing duties, and the script, that he co-wrote, was managed perfectly to recreate Stan Lee's colorful vision. But, the performances are something to die for. James McAvoy portrays a brilliant role as Young Professor Xavier, Michael Fassbender plays an excellent role as Young Magneto, Jennifer Lawrence is superb as Mystique, January Jones brings a sexy-driven performance, Rose Byrne is intelligently super, and Kevin Bacon does an excellent job at playing a villain. This incredible ensemble, is the best I have seen in superhero movies. Also, the editing and cinematography is pure genius, the music is exhilarating, the action is non-stop, and the visual effects are amazingly breathtaking. "X-Men: First Class" is one of the most incredible comic book superhero movies I have ever seen, and it's one of the best movies of 2011, by far. This movie is enjoying, thrilling, and it's so super to watch again and again. "X-Men: First Class", in my review, "one of the most excellent superhero movies ever".
