A more mature movie than all the sequels combined.

Rating: 9/10 (6 July 2011)

A well written, well directed, even well acted movie with some superb effects, X-Men: First Class is one of the 'good' movies that came out this summer.
Apart from some really-hard-to-make-out inconclusive goofs in the story line, the movie is not just better, but also a lot darker than all the 3 sequels. Although I guess, mindless uncensored description of killing is what the director is known for.
A well revived franchise, X-Men: First Class is a must watch for comic book fans and movie goers alike. I'm glad they didn't release this movie in 3D, which is becoming a trend with every other movie nowadays, whether it is necessary or not.
