Not the best comic book movie, but certainly one of them.

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2012)

I saw this movie a little while back, but I didn't get around reviewing it. But it's better late, than never, so here it is: I think First Class is the best X-Men movie yet. I read in a lot of reviews that it's the "BEST COMIC MOVIE EVAR!!!1!!1!!one!!!!!!", but it is not as good as The Dark Knight or Iron Man, although it is a very good film. Despite the fact that there are a few differences in this film to the other X-Men movies, this one was, by far, the best. Matthew Vaughn has never made a bad movie yet, so why'd he make a bad X-Men movie?
Michael Fassbender was the best choice for young Magneto. He did a great job in portraying the soon to be greatest villain of all time (according to the list on IGN). James McAvoy was a good professor X too, but I just wasn't convinced that he was the same old guy we saw in X- Men, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand. The villain in this film, Sebastian Shaw (played by Kevin Bacon) was also very good, but not as good as Magneto, of course. The other members of the cast were good as well, but I have one aching question: why did the black guy have to die after like ten minutes of screen time?
The story was well written, but there were some plot-holes if we consider the previous films. Matthew Vaughn was a great choice as the director, he did a very good job. Another thing that I have to mention is the music. It was mind-blowingly amazing!
If you like comic book adaptations this movie is a must see. If you don't like them, then it's possible that you'll like this one.
