A great time witnessing the formation of the "X-Men"

Rating: 6/10 (15 December 2014)

This is a prequel to the X-men saga and fans of the marvel mythology universe will love it. The special effects are awesome, the plot is decent and its just super fun discovering how all the characters came to be. The cast is also like a whose-who of stars, top notch including several fun cameos and an homage to Patrick Stewarts hair that really made me laugh.
I loved the bromance between James McAvoy as a young Charles Xavier and (Michael Fassbender) who hasn't yet become Magneto, watching them discover their powers, working together before they became arch enemies. I never fully engaged in the whole cold war/nukes storyline but I did enjoy witnessing the formation of the X-Men and discovering their origins.
In all honesty this probably deserves a higher rating but its not my favourite movie genre so I couldn't fully appreciate it for what it is. 09.13
