Makes For A Great Movie/ Comic Movie/ Summer Flick.

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2011)

First,I'd just like to say for those of you whom hated this film,there is something you need to keep in mind.And that is, that this film isn't just a prequel.It is also in a way a reboot. It is as if we are forgetting the disappointment of X3, as if it didn't happen. It is like the only movies that came out where X-Men and X2.
If you where to actually pay attention, and look back, you would note that this movie starts of just as the first one did. Clearly indicating, that the director, as well as writers made this film in a way to be a remake. Therefore, this is not just a prequel, it is a reboot.
And obviously, with Professor X ending up wheelchair bond at the end, it also shows that we are in fact starting over.
A side from that, this film is in fact excellent.
I cannot say that this film is not at all flawed. But, at the same time, I do not see a reason to not declare it as excellent.
With excellent performances from James McAvoy, and Michael Fassbender. As well as a great script, and store line. I am not trying to state that the rest of the cast did not give a excellent performance, but James and Micheal where truly excellent.
Other then performance from the actors/ and actresses, and the nicely written script/ story line, there are other things that I liked about this movie. I liked how as the viewer, I finally got to see Professor X and what he is like just as Charles Xavier. You get to see him as more then just a mutant with mind powers. We get to explore a little bit of what he is like as a young man in his 20's. You also get to see him as he shows off his mind power. It was also talked about in the first two films, but never really shown.
And then there is Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto . We get to understand a little bit more about his past, and why he became the villain that we know him as. Exploring his past as Erik, and seeing him and his power develop.
The next person we get to learn a little bit about is Raven / Mystique. In stead of just seeing her as a blue bad ass, you actually get to learn about her as Raven. We get to see both her sides. I also knew there was a lot more to her then just being a bitch, but, it was never really told. And, we get to learn about her relationship with Erik.
Now, I am not going to get into detail about ever character. But, the point is, if you never read the comics, or you did, but didn't read them all. Either way, you get to learn a little bit about some of your favorite characters. This film unlocks some information that wasn't giving to us before in previous films.
And another thing about this film that I really liked was that he got to see Professor X as a teacher. It was talked about how he was a great teacher but, again, it was never really explored. So, in this film, you actually get into some detail.
And last but, not least, I really liked the whole war setting. I thought that made for a great plot line.
So, as the viewer, you get some great special effects, some excellent performances, a excellent script/story, a long with some detail about some favorites, and there past, as well as relationship with each other. And of course, a excellent plot.
X-Men: First Class makes for a down right great film, excellent comic book movie, and a excellent summer flick.
