As good as "X2"

Rating: 8/10 (30 March 2013)

When I first saw the trailer for this flick I didn't really have that good of an expectation, with "X-Men: The Last Stand" and all. But this one blew my expectation and maybe it's because Bryan Singer had a part in the story for this cool flick. Because the story is just well written and doesn't and the pacing doesn't seem to slow down but goes straight to the point. With actions sequences that blend right into the story. James McAvoy plays Charles Xavier and Michael Fassbender plays Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto in this flick. And both those actors are freaking awesome with the roles they are given. In fact I couldn't think of any other actors to replace them. McAvoy plays the more young and like to drink, flirt and have fun while being responsible character just so darn well. Both actors are amazing in this but if I had to pick one that stood out slightly more it would have to be Michael Fassbender as Magneto. I don't know maybe I am a sucker for cool and charismatic villains. This time around Magneto it shows more of the development process of Magneto and a bit of his origin and it's just well blended into this story. He stands out way more than all the previous "X-Men" movies combined. Sebastian Shaw who is the main villain that is trying to start WW3 by trying to start a war between America and Russia by using his team of mutants and Shaw is played by Kevin Bacon. Let's just say Kevin Bacon is right for this role. Although Shaw isn't a very developed character, Kevin Bacon actually makes this villain somewhat memorable. So yeah, well crafted superheroes story with well developed characters or at least memorable ones with the right actors. Makes this movie a must watch for audiences that enjoy superheroes movies.
8.3/10
