Beautiful prequel and X-Men's origin story

Rating: 8/10 (14 June 2020)

Good story, plot and villains' great visual and special effects; good production design, action scenes, powers usage, costumes, make-up, music, character and emotional development; Magneto's costume at the end of the movie looks weird and does not fit with his character; great casting and performances, especially James McAvoy as Charles Xavier/Professor X and Michael Fassbender as Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto. Good casting and performances, especially Rose Byrne as Moira MacTaggert, January Jones as Emma Frost, Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, Jason Flemyng as Azazel and Nicholas Hoult as Hank McCoy / Beast. Jennifer Lawrence is okay as Raven Darkhölme/Mystique, but she does not have Mystique's aura and her character is different from how she should be. The relationship between Charles and Erik is well done. It is nice to see Hugh Jackman and Rebecca Romijn's cameos.
