Sadly disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (18 May 2015)

Yet another origin reboot. "X-Men: First Class" isn't without its pluses; McAvoy and Fassbender own this movie (on the other end of that spectrum is Kevin Bacon and ehhh January Jones), not to mention Hugh Jackman in possibly the greatest cameo ever. And it was nice to see a story where Charles and Erik work together for a change. But aside from that, this is some weak sauce. the story, the roster of X-Men, the effects. It makes for a bland reboot and has nothing on the Singer movies. None of the heart, in spite of its invention.
But Fassbender is a hell of a Magneto.
5/10
