Very Well Done

Rating: 10/10 (3 June 2011)

I have to admit, I had little hope for another X-Men movie, but... First Class works, it flows well, it tells a good story. First class could be an event right out of a comic it keeps you entertained without having to resort to lots of big fancy expensive scenes or annoying dialog. All the X-men act like their characters are suppose to from the comic. They had a good mix of mutants, some everyone will know, some only the hardcore fans will recognize, but all are presented without being over-introduced, but in such a way that anyone could walk in and enjoy the movie. I was terribly impressed with all the performers in tackling characters that so many people know so well and have such high expectations of. The writers managed to have a completely separate film that works on it's own while still making a nod and acknowledging the other films. The effects were well used and did not come of as overused or gimmicky. Totally worth seeing and enjoying.
