A valiant effort to a sagging franchise.

Rating: 1/10 (4 June 2011)

I have been skeptical about XMFC,since I heard they were going to pre- boot it,but yes Bryan Singer raised my eyebrow even more(even though he was in the story department).I can never forgive him for f**king up Superman big time,but somehow he gets XMen.
I came to the theater with minimum expectations to say the most.First Class really catches momentum and some surprises really work.But I think what can make an XMen movie work is the momentum and not the story,as the story is always the same(People hate mutants,good mutant wants to prove otherwise,bad mutant is conflicted,both part ways in the end tragically...WTF??) and Vaughn disappoints in this regard.
Fassbender & McAvoy really did justice to their parts and I would give this a 5 only for that.
If you have nothing to do and are not sick of another XMen flick with the whole Human-Mutant dynamic,then you should go for it.
