One of the most underrated superhero movies of all time

Rating: 9/10 (11 February 2013)

This reboot of the X-Men franchise is completely different compared to the original trilogy, which I enjoyed until the third one. This X-Men movie has to be ranked as not only the best X-Men movie, but as one of the most underrated Superhero movies of all-time.
There is a massive human element to the film which I found different from all of the other X-Men movies and this is conveyed through the wonderful acting skills of the whole cast. The two lead actors, James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender have great on screen chemistry. Particularly Fassbender's performance of the broken Erik Lehnsherr before he becomes Magneto. Kevin Bacon is great as Sebastian Shaw, and he has the villain down to a tee. Jennifer Lawrence is perfect for the role of Raven, as she plays her in a troubled way, she just wants to be normal and not embrace her mutant self.
One of the aspects that make this movie enjoyable other than the acting is the Direction and the Music. Matthew Vaughn convey's a lot of emotion in his shots and this emotion is backed up with a fabulous musical score that helps to add to the mood.
This movie is fantastic and everything about it is near perfect and that is what makes it such an enjoyable movie, and one of the most underrated superhero movies of all time.
