One of the best movies this year! Much more than I expected!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 July 2011)

Just watched this movie last Tuesday.I know I was sorta late as it has been on for about a month already. But i was waiting for my friend who just finished exams. Anyway, back the the point. This movie gave me so much more than i expected! I am so excited and grateful that I got the chance to see this movie in the cinema!!! To be honest, I didn't feel like to watch it straight away when I saw the trailer in the first place. Maybe its because of the actor who plays Charles. (Im not saying he is not good at all.In fact, he is AMAZING!). According to all the XMen movies i've seen so far, the main character (Wolverine) is always strong and powerful with those muscles. That brings me this impression：when we talk about XMen movies, it has to be manful with those actions in it. but apparently, the main actor in this movie is totally different, well at least James doesn't look like as that strong as Hugh Jackman. so when i saw the trailer, i was like: what? this the main the character? hmm, seems not much like what I have in my mind as usual. But James didn't disappoint me at all! He gave me another concept of XMen series. In this movie, Charles is such a gentleman and he is kind to everyone, even to the bad guys, He accepts all the mutants and has always tried to lead them to the right way. However, he is also strong inside.when he faced the coin crossing through his head (physically its Shaw's head but its Charles's mind), he didn't give away, he still held it until the very last minute. we can imagine how much pain he had to suffer at that time(both physically and emotionally),he was seeing it happening and sorta let it happen right in front of his face, and all the reason is Erik! his best friend. I think at that time, he felt not only the pain on the body, but also the pain that Erik betrayed his trust.Thanks to James, he really did a fantastic job there. Michael and James had a couple of fabulous scenes together for sure. The end of the movie is so touching and powerful. I nearly cried when i saw Charles telling Erik they do not want the same thing in tears. I was simply moved by him. Overall, I would definitely recommond this movie to anyone who likes to enjoy the real good movies (Not those only rely on 3D or technical stuff). This movie has the great story line which makes a lot of sense and both of the main actors(James and Michael) really have brought their characters alive. Love Love this movie!!
