Absolutely first class! 11 out of 10.

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2011)

Of the original trilogy, the first X-Men movie still rates the best.....until now.
This prequel is an absolute stunner - from storyboard, script, mutant characters, pace, cinematography, Foley FX, VFX....you get the picture. In fact, the subtitle for this movie could also be X-Men: Origins. The poignant beginnings of Magneto and Mystique are recounted, as well as the extraordinary powers of Professor X. Yes, indeed! The good professor had plenty of goodies (and hair) in his formative years at Oxford University.....^^
I cannot wait to see X-Men prequel II and III, 3D or not.
