Pretty good story, good action, and gorgeous actresses

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2011)

Just saw this flick and I have to agree with those people postulating that it is one of the best X-men movies - if not THE best.
It has everything your heart desires: a pretty good story, good action, and gorgeous actresses (January Jones for starters!). There is nothing in the movie you haven't seen before and here I am referring entirely to the action and plot. But I very much liked the fact that the story reaches its climax in the Cuban missile crisis showdown; the historical reference adds an extra dimension to the film.
As a total fan boy of the comic it made my heart jump when Sebastian Shaw and Emma Frost entered the picture. It felt like coming home.
I also have to mention James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. But enough of that for now - watch the movie and keep an eye on the female cast.
