X-Men First Class - The Missing Link.

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2011)

Finally, we got to know how the whole thing started, why Magneto (played by Fassbender) and Xavier (played by McAvoy) had become who they are, in the later X-Men movies. Why Magneto dislike the human-race so much.
But as always, all is not as it seems, for one can't help but have sympathy for Magneto. He is neither good or bad at this point. Xavier is also in his younger days a firm believer in, that people are worth saving. Basically, you get a little better insight into who they are emotionally.
We meet new, but also some known old mutants, just in younger versions. We see how new alliances are being made and destroyed, how friendships starting to crumble into pieces.
X-Men First Class has its soft and quiet moments, but certainly also moments with action scenes.
It's excellent acting performances rendered by all parties in the X-Men First Class. Can't imagine that, other actors than Fassbender and McAvoy play a young Magneto and Xavier. Fassbender has that tough, but sensitive edge, while McAvoy has a sensitive, but rough edge, and that makes them so good in their respective roles as Magneto and Xavier.
It's one of the best X-Men movies to date, even though X-Men 1 to 3 and Wolverine is really good too.
Hoping for a sequel to X-Men First Class, still with Fassbender and McAvoy in the leading roles as Magneto & Xavier.
