An Amazing Prequel!

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2012)

I've never been a big fan of the X-Men movies, but this is really a spectacular film.
The time period fit more to this kind of story than the others, as comics were a much bigger thing in the '60s, so it kind of felt right. It just worked. The acting was great, the action was pretty exciting, and the story was investing. I must say, the ending felt just a bit anticlimactic in comparison to the rest of the movie, but there was plenty of tension in it, and there's a moment that will make you shiver.
This is a fun, emotional movie. One about friendship, betrayal, acceptance, and going separate ways. It's not for everyone, but you'll probably enjoy yourself.
