The best xmen movie to date

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2011)

An x-men movie without Scott(cyclops) and Jean Grey?, man , its gonna be boring !!!, that was my initial reaction, but this movie definitely takes the x-men series to an altogether new high.
Story : In short , the story revolves around the origin of the initial x-men characters, professor x, magneto, and mystique. also joined by a few others as well, in the Cuban missile crisis backdrop. the story is very well written , and actually has a lot more depth to it than the other x-men films.
Characters & Acting : It was amazing to see the characters of Magneto and Professor x, with powers toned to close perfection to fit into a brilliant movie, the balance created was the key to the movie, a special mention to James Mc Avoy , he had nailed the character completely, in fact the performances were equally strong throughout the movie but rather a little weak when the younger breed steps in, but thats cos they dint have enough of screen time and development time.
Special Effects : The films C.g.i was at the best above average, it almost looks pre-production level near the climax sequences, but apart from that, the , they work, they work because of the background score complementing it so beautifully, some very beautifully choreographed sequences to look out for here !!.
Sound track : the sound track by Henry Jackson was simply put "Awesome". It adds a whole new level of involvement and intensity to the movie, very interesting cues and strong sounds, though a drawback could be that the viewer gets a little fatigued around the middle. else we can say it adds brilliantly !!
Directing : Admittedly, i loved kick ass, but X-men is a wholly different kind of a story, but, Vaughn , pulled it off with utmost style.
Conclusion : There really isn't anything to point out in this movie, and it is rare to see a movie getting so many things right , just go and watch it !!
p.s : i would be extremely cool to see what Mathew Vaughn would do once all the characters step in !!
