Very Enjoyable Sci-Fi Movie

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2011)

Hi all, just a short review to say that i enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to any cinema-goer, not just sci-fi or comic book fans of X-men.
I was expecting an average action movie but the film totally exceeded my expectations. The acting was very good and effort was made to make you care about the fate of the characters. It also fitted it's time-line well with many real historical events of the era being integrated into the plot. It lays the groundwork for a sequel and based on this, hopefully with the same team!
One thing i did notice was M Fassbender's Irish accent come to the fore a bit more near the end of the movie, it was more neutral during the first half. James McAvoy puts in a very mature performance and builds on his great work in the past e.g. Last King of Scotland.
