Best X-Men flick yet...

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2011)

Don't get me wrong I love the first three X-Men movies, and have read the comic books since forever.
However, this film was technically brilliant, character driven and restrained. The action was perfectly paced and scaled, and totally believable; which given what some of the characters can do is hard to achieve.
Plenty of nods to the likes of James Bond. A perfectly observed period piece that just works on every level. It is a shame that the Academy will not even look sideways at this film, which would be a total crime.
A must-see comic book movie from a die hard comic book fan. This is up there with The Dark Night.
