Outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (15 January 2012)

I probably would have given this movie a "10" if it was not for the scene of the flying wing suite character Banshee maintaining flight after picking up one of his buddies and carrying him to safety; Utterly a physical impossibility. Aside from that the movie was outstanding, especially the mesmerizing performance of Michael Fassbender as Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto. He was relentless and cold blooded, but at the same time likable and very "cool". He would make a very good 007. I especially liked the Argentina pub scene where Erik kills three people.very coolly done. Kevin Bacon was also extraordinarily good as Sebastian Shaw.
