Like Star Wars and Star Trek, now it's the X-Men turn to get a back story.
The story takes in place in 1962, a young college student named Charles Xavier(James McAvoy), before he was known has Professor Xavier, is asked by Morina MacTaggert(Rose Byrne) to help figure out an evil mutant named Sebastian Shaw(Kevin Bacon) and his crews plan. Charles befriends a troubled mutant named Erik Lennsher(Michael Fassbender), before he became known has Magneto, He and Charles recruits other mutants, but will they all be able to be a step ahead of Shaw?
An improvement over X-Men:Origins Wolverine. The effects are incredible, so are two surprised cameos, by whom I won't say. McAvoy and Fassbender give descent performances. So does Kevin Bacon as the villain, he just really gets under your skin. I liked the back story, and the 60's setting. A true delight for X-Men fans.
