X-men go Bond-esque ..

Rating: 8/10 (5 June 2011)

I must admit, i am not a big fan of X-men, I never read the comics nor did i watch the old cartoons when i was a kid. I have always been a Batman fan. Even the first X-men movies i watched, i enjoyed but never turned into a hard core fan. But all that might change because of this movie, it is pretty good and all those other reviewers are spot on about how good this movie is.
first of, the story and writing is top notch, the script is very good, unlike most comic book movies where the scripts are not usually executed right. and it is done with style, loved the whole Bond-esque feel to it, at times i felt like watching a James Bond movie with Mutants, a lot of Spy like elements and Villains wanting to destroy the world.
Then comes the Cast, i must say one of the best group of actors picked in a movie, especially Michael Fassbender as Magneto and James Mcavoy as Professor X, both carried the movie and shined. Also, Rose Byrne was good here :) speaking of Bond, i believe Michael Fassbender would be perfect as the next James Bond !!
the other younger actors were good too but overshadowed with the two main leads.
Action was solid, and special effects were stunning, also sound effects were amazing and in certain scenes the whole theater was shaking. the movie however fell just short from being perfect because of the smaller characters and mutants, their mutations were a bit ridiculous for me. but that is just me ..
In short, a very good movie, professionally written with a great script, wonderful cast and executed with style. very entertaining. go watch it.
