A Bromance for the ages

Rating: 10/10 (23 September 2012)

I had never been a big fan of the X-men movies as I found most of them seemed to lack a powerful story, although the one thing that I found was that the relationship between Magneto and Professor X was intriguing to say the least. Why would a Villain like Magneto have so much compassion and by the look of it, a friendship with the leader of they antagonist Professor X.
Well now that has been answered with the greatest X-men movie yet hands down. This movie explains the origin and at the heart of it is a movie driven by character development and relationships the key one being between Eric (Magneto) and Charles Xavier (Professor X) as you see how they came to be friends and how they became the two key mutants of the future X-men series.
The pacing of the movie is superb and the story line is well written and keeps you interested throughout.
They often say that "The Dark Knight" was the first comic book movie that was seen as being not just a comic book movie, and I say the same about X-men first class, it is more then just a movie for people who are a fan of X-men and people that are a fan of comics, it is hands down a simply fantastic and well crafted film.
