Best Superhero Movie Ever

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2011)

I didn't expect anything from this movie. I was 100% sure it was a very low budget spin-off with almost no advertising. I didn't want to spend 8,50  (x2) to go to see it in theater. Anyway I was forced to, mostly because there was no room for "Transformers 3". Let me point out that I'm a comic book maniac/reader/collector so I watched every comic book related movie by far. I have to admit that this one is the best I've ever seen. The reason? it is a STORY, with characters, thoughts, dialogues and so on... It's not a blow-up-everything summer blockbuster, but a very well played drama. If you liked chris claremont's x-men, where the action was the last part of the stuff you'll LOVE this movie. Michael Fassbender (Magneto) and James McAvoy (Xavier) perfectly fit their roles. Even Kevin Bacon is perfect as Sebastian Shaw. And what about Mystica? I think she's waaay better than rebecca romjin stamos from the first 3 movies... OK she's less hot, I must admit it, but After this movie I consider her a better actress than the model rebecca. some side notes: - as a comic book fan the most notable thing to remember is that x-men have their blue/yellow original costumes. And they rock! - I'm very interested in history (I mean, general history - the one you study in school), so I think that the part regarding Magneto's background and cold war is really well done - as an architect I have to say that rooms, furniture, and design objects are perfect. The guys who worked at the settings earned their pay.
Did you remember Elektra or ghost rider? well, the times have changed. This reboot-remake-spin off, call it the way you like most, is the best comicbook movie EVER!
