A film by Matthew Vaughn and produced by Bryan Singer, based on the X-Men characters appearing in Marvel Comics. The fifth installment in the X-Men series, the film acts as a prequel for the X-Men trilogy, being set primarily in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. It focuses on the relationship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr and the origin of their groups, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants. The film stars James McAvoy as Xavier and Michael Fassbender as Lensherr. Other cast members include Kevin Bacon, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Lawrence, Zoë Kravitz, Nicholas Hoult and Lucas Till. Masterpiece super-hero movie , with stunning screenplay, effects and performances.Maybe the best superhero movie ever! |

Only one word to describe this film and that is AMAZING..the special effects used in this production was out of this world. The cast was a suprise though James McAvoy wouldnt be my choice to play a young Charles Xavier but he managed to pull it off amazingly. The plot was good and the acting brilliant. I like the fact that we found out how Charles And Erik meet and how the mansion was used to begin with and why Erik turned into Magneto and how Xavier came to be in a wheelchair...so overall a very enjoyable film, i for one will be getting the dvd when it is released. |

"X-Men: First Class" re-introduces professor X and Magneto as Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, respectively. This new X-Men movie brings us back to the time when Professor X and Magneto were friends which also leads us to how they become enemies.
***
I saw X-Men movie before, and honestly speaking, I understand little- close to nothing. This X-Men refreshes its audience and effectively introduce to the new ones. Matthew Vaughn is of my favorite directors, he done this one smooth and clean, though some set, props sorta turned me off. But the rest, the actors and other visual effects are awesome. Very good, I like this so much that I actually want to see more X-Men movies. |

The mutant saga only gets better as it goes along! |

Yet another fantastic 2011 summer release! I have yet to see a bad movie about Proffessor Xavier and his band of mutants. Not only were they the #1 comic that i reached for as a child they are also the most exciting. The thing i most like about this franchise as it seems to get better and better as it progresses. This instalment being a prequel tells us alot about the origins of our favorite mutants. and how both of the good and bad alliances were originally formed. This is also packed full of CGI (CGI filled films will make me want to spend my hard earned dollar more then lets say a run of the mill basic action film. The story here begins with the clocks turning all the way back to the 60's during the missile crisis between US and Russia. As WW3 seems eminent both Magneto( Michael Fassbe... |

"X-Men First Class" by Yojimbo |
|
A young post graduate with the power to read minds joins with a holocaust victim with powers of magnetism to found a CIA sponsored training program for newly empowered mutants in the 1960s. X-Men: First Class is really what the first film SHOULD have been. Instead of the clumsy and constant exposition of the original, it expands on the best scene of the film featuring the first manifestation of Magneto's powers and shows the origins of his relationship with Xavier and how their ideologies and methods diverged. Not only that, but it does it with wit and style and the 60s setting gives it an epic quality that plays out on a world stage in history as well as some very cool old school Bond imagery provided by SFX legend John Dykstra. The only real weakness lies in its being the victim of the ... |

X Marks the Beginning! |

Eric: “Let's just say I'm Frankenstein's monster. And I'm looking for my creator.”
Eric: “Honestly Charles I don’t know how you survived living in such hardship”
I am a huge fan of X-Men series, and I must say that X-Men: First Class is my favorite of them all. It completely held my interest throughout, mostly thanks to Michael Fassbender (Erik aka Magneto)and James McAvoy (Charles Xavier) who were perfectly cast as the friends who would one day lead separate factions of mutants. The past of Professor X and Magneto was so interesting especially Magneto who steals every scene he is in. The tragic past of Eric makes me understand why he so hates normal humans and how the figure Magneto was created. Meanwhile McAvoy brings a charming playfulness to Professor X that you never saw coming... |

Positive reviews are starting to trickle in. It looks pretty damn good and it is exciting to hear it being compared to a james bond flick. Cool stuff. |
