435th Review: Outstanding Prequel - simply superb

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2011)

Forget everything you have seen in other prequels - this may well be the film of the series (Even without Wolverine). It is certainly a group effort and it is superb.
Every scene and every actor delivers a deeply satisfying film that perfectly prequels and expands the X Men series.
For this reviewer, this was easily the best film of the series so far - the script has real purpose and drive - and the action doesn't kick in too soon - we get tons of back story and character development, something of a rarity in action summer blockbusters.
All in all, probably will not best Transformers or Pirates at the box office, but it certainly deserves to - hugely better than expected - and a good film all over.
