A fine reboot to boot

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2011)

Well let's be completely honest Hollywood had lost their control over the X-men film-saga when "the last stand" came out. The bigger is better principle isn't always the right way to go. And it's a shame they need reboots to deal with the issues created by shitty films.
It's even worse when the reboot fail. But this is NOT the case with "X-men: first class". I was afraid I had seen a bit too much promo clips and so on. But even this was not the case. I can gladly say the promo's don't give away too much.
The story doesn't really climax in the movie. When Michael Fassbender's Magneto is faced with Kevin Bacon's character, it builds up to a lot more expectations than what is delivered on screen but this being said the film introduces new characters which is more than welcome. And again in comparison to "Last stand" they introduce them more properly. It's not here is character Y, and this is his death, we needed somebody to kill.
After seeing this I'm hoping Marvel will continue making movies but I'm also very much so actually hoping they do this with eye for detail, respect to the intricate story lines and quality of the film!
In "First Class" they prove they haven't lost the battle with "X-men"!
