Nicely Done X-Men Film

Rating: 9/10 (22 April 2014)

X-Men: First Class was directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick Ass) and produced by Bryan Singer (X2: X-Men United). It stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, with Kevin Bacon and Nicholas Hoult. It is a prequel to the original X-Men films and introduces new actors to us. Set in the early 1960's, it has a very refreshing tone to the X-Men franchise.
I didn't expect much out of First Class because at the time, I wasn't much of a "X-Men" type guy. This is the movie that made me an X-Men fan. Bryan Singer did do a good job with the first two X-Men, but Vaughn did better with First Class. I wasn't excited for this movie because of the failure of X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I am know pumped up for X- Men: Days of Future Past coming in May 2014.
