The Next Gen's First Gen

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2019)

I can think of no better way to do a prequel/remake hybrid than the way Matthew Vaughn did with this film. James MacAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence delivers fantastic performances as there respective young characters, and Vaughn helps bring the action with an added since of humanity from the previous X-Films all while making it feel new and exciting. "X-Men: First Class" makes for an excellent prequel or an excellent restart to an X-Cellent franchise.
