Find out how it all began in this prequel

Rating: 6/10 (1 August 2015)

X-Men First Class is a prequel to the original X-Men movies that tells the tale of young Charles and his friend Erik who would both become Professor X(James McAvoy) and Magneto(Micheal Fassbender)as they fight mankind and defeat an evil villain played by Kevin Bacon who has the ability to take anyone's powers.
We get to see Raven (Mystique played by Jennifer Lawrence from Silver Lining's Playbook)who has the ability to shapeshift into anyone she wants and of course she was a good person before she went bad,Hank(Nicholas Hoult from About A Boy)who would go on to be the Beast who is finding a cure to stop the mutants from becoming what they are now,Lucas Till also stars in this film as a guy who can do some stuff with fire. Together these guys team up with Professor X who lost his ability later on to not walk anymore as one of his co-workers accidentally shot him in the legs.
What I liked about this film was the action and special effects and it was nice to see how it all began. I was a bit disappointed that Wolverine wasn't in this movie but Hugh Jackman makes a 25 second cameo when Charles and Erik are thinking about the past and they meet Wolverine in a bar and he told them to Go F*** themselves.
But then again I do prefer the original X Men with Hugh Jackman,James Marsden,Halle Berry,Ellen Page etc as they were in the original franchise. This thing of rebooting superhero movies nowadays can get pretty boring.
