Outstandingly First Class

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2011)

OK here we are then: a superb trilogy under our belt, an excellent Wolverine prequel. What are the odds that the latest X-Men movie can maintain the excitement, enthralment and style we've grown to love? Absolutely no question - bang on the money! (Take notes Disney - PoC4.)
First Class really, really is just that. An epic background story to explain the characters we know and define some new ones we want to know more. Extremely well-acted (even though the younger selves had HUGE boots to fill re Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellan) - simply brilliant. I CANNOT wait for the DVD or the next (hopefully also) brilliant movie, so I'll be using my telepathic powers to convince some younger family members that they should really go and watch this movie and, OK then, if I have to go with them (tut) so be it!
