Wow, what a movie.

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2011)

I definitely was not expecting this. After all the other X-Men movies being, well, what they were, I never thought that First Class would be this good. It did create some plot holes with the other movies, but they were minor, and I don't really care. The storyline was superb. It goes very deep and reveals the back stories of even the more mysterious characters. I was hooked about five minutes in. This is perhaps the best superhero movie I have ever seen. The acting was sensational. I especially liked Michael Fassbender as Eric/Magneto. He really made his character believable. I'm anxious to see more of his work. And I didn't just like the acting, but I liked the character as well. It was interesting to watch him develop and change throughout the movie. Kevin Bacon also did a fantastic job portraying Sebastian Shaw, the villain who, as it happens, was responsible for the Cuban Missile Crisis and the almost start of World War 3. Better add that one to the history books:p -Funny thing, I didn't recognize him as Kevin Bacon until the end of the movie. (That was my blonde moment of the day.)- Folks, honestly, I could go on for a very long time about how good this movie was, but I like to keep things short, so this is all I'll write. I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please comment. Sincerely ~Dragonfly
