First I will like to say the posters don't do justice to this film.
This movie is a movie you will like to see again, the plot is almost nearing excellence, and the action scenes are well choreographed. The effects are a grade A, and the dialogue is interesting. The movie is well directed by Vaughn, who keeps the movie dramatic, and thrilling.
The movie starts is a NAZI concentration camp in 1944, where we see Erik Lehnsherr who is being forced to display his mutant power, when he's separated from his mother. This act of force was carried out by a doctor Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) who wants to study and harness Erik's abilities.
In New York, a wealthy boy, Charles Xavier, who can read minds, meets a girl named Raven who can shape-shift but whose natural physical state is blue and scaly.
In 1962, Charles has grown and has become a compassionate genetic scientist (now played by James McAvoy) studying genetic abnormalities. Erik on the other hand has grown (now played by Michael Fassbender) was obsessed with revenge and tracking down the doctor who tortured him. Raven (Jennifer Lawrence) to have grown to be a frustrated mutant as she longed envision life without her mutation.
We get to see how Hank (Beast) developed a serum to hide their differences from the human world go bad, and they added a relationship though quite small between Hank and Raven.
The movie's chief focus was on the beginning of it all, we get to see how close Charles Xavier and Magneto was and how their differences drove both party apart. As we get to see this two heroes be for each other and then at the very end when the choice of either be for the humans or for the mutants started the now called X-MEN.
Casting, in this movie is just the thing that gives this movie the edge it needed, as Kevin Beacon (long time no see) was just wonderful, giving us a memorable performance. The other teens in the movie, Havoc, Darwin etc also did their part as we see them struggle with their mastery of their powers.
So in the end of this review, marvel did something a lot better than what the last 2 films had done. It not a movie you will regret but one you will love.
