First Class is right

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2011)

I will be honest and say that I haven't fully watched the X-Men trilogy, but this prequel made me want to watch all the movies. I guess I know what I'm going to be doing in the next couple of weeks.
I know that this movie is part of a bigger franchise, but this was a GREAT film on its own. Although, it will leave you wanting more. I know I'm dying for another movie. In "X-Men: First Class", I don't think there was ever a dull scene. I remember being interested in it all the way. I never felt my attention waver or feel a yawn coming up.
Aside from the kick-ass action, this movie had its own share of good humor that doesn't fail. The audience must have laughed out loud together, at least three times. I also especially liked the emotions that were being portrayed to the audience. I could care less about Raven's love life, but I really did love the bromance that Charles and Erik shared.
I don't have any other X-Men movies to compare this one to (aside from the spin-off "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"), so this may either be a hit or miss with die-hard X-Men fans. But coming from an unbiased viewer, I can say that this was an excellent film. If you haven't watched it yet, what are you waiting for?!
