X-Men: First Class

Here I bring you (Chronologically) the first X-Men movie.

In the start it opens in 1944 and we meet Erik who is only around 14, his mother is taken from him and we find that he has powers, ( which is almost the same opening as in the first X-men movie) and then a scientist, Sebastian Shaw who takes him and helps him make his power stronger, meanwhile, we see Charles Xavier who is around 9 who meets Mystique and the two become friends. Cut to around 20 years later, Charles meets up with an FBI agent to find these "special people" and then he meets Erik for the first time, and the two hook up to track other mutants. They have a small group of kids who have awesome abilities such as, Dr. Henry "Hank" McCoy who is Beast, Sean Cassidy who is, Banshee, Alex Summers is Havok. Then we see an epic end battle where some long awaited questions are answered.

First thing's first. This prequel, was simply. Amazing. Had a fantastic storyline that finally answered some questions most people have had from the beginning.


Also had some pretty impressive CGI, epically with Havok and Beast. Acting couldn't of been better, I loved who portrayed Erik and Charles, but younger. They looked very similar to the older ones, and just did a good job at it. During the film, we also got to see almost a softer side of Erik, since before he met Charles, he was on the hunt for revenge, can't say why though, to much of a spoiler.

Seeing Erik use his power for good was nice for a change, also Charles helped him develop his power even stronger to point where he can lift a Submarine. Which was pretty epic looking on the big screen.

The only downfall I saw with this film was, that Emma Frost was in it, which was great, but she was like 30 kinda old. Since in X-Men Origins we saw Emma when she was like 16 and it took place after this film, so that didn't really make much sense, kept thinking perhaps is the mother, but it's not.

I was just very impressed with this movie, I've loved the series since I saw the first one, and this did not fail at all, if you love the X-Men, just what are you waiting for? See it!

I give, X-men: First Class. _9/10_
