Better than the original trilogy of X-Men films

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2018)

After the debacle that was The Last Stand, I was leery of X-Men films. When I heard there were going to be more, my attention was held. We'd have new cast members and new villains, plus an origin story of Professor X and Magneto. We got James McAvoy of SciFi's Children of Dune and Kevin Bacon (who starred in Tremors and Animal House) and we got an era during the Cold War a decade after the second World War. I don't remember too much of First Class, but it was very entertaining. If you wanted more X-Men but were turned off by The Last Stand, this should be your priority. This movie works as a prequel. And it doesn't suck.
