Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2011)

I've been looking forward to this movie for quite some time. However, I was rather nervous going into as i'd gone to other reboots/prequels and been disappointed. The special effects aren't over the top. They don't need to be because the storyline is quite decent. Michael fassbender and james mcavoy both shine in this movie. Michael fassbender brings a lot of intensity and anfry malevolence to the role and james mcavoy adds some youthful charm to professor xavier. My only complaint would be that January jones is just present as eye candy. I also felt that nicholas hoult struggled a bit when it came to credibility but maybe thats just me.
