X-Men: First Class

X-Men: First Class














Ah the 4th X-Men movie is upon us. It took me couple of days before i can go to the cinema to see it but even then the cinema was quite full and i had a pretty bad seat :(
Nevertheless the movie was great. I had some doubts after the first teasers and pictures coming out. But the movie turned out great. Id say the only X men movie that is better than it is X2.

The reset of the franchise did its job well. I have not red the First Class comic books so ive no idea if the story they used was any good. But still as a start up to the whole X universe it was great.
I have to say the whole cast did an amazing job. They had great chemistry especially James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender as Xavier and Magneto respectively.
And for me personally Michael did such incredible job with his way of depicting the young Magneto. I really felt the sadness and strugles and that internal conflict he had with himself. We can really see the transformation from Erik to Magneto by the end of the movie. And his german and even that Argentinian performances also greatly enchanced my experiance. There were couple of moments that offered everybody in the audience a good laugh and the jokes didnt felt forced.
The BEST moment of the movie was Hugh Jackman`s cameo appearance as Wolverine. i swear everybody in the cinema skippeda bit when he showed up on the screen. It is a real shame he was not in the movie but i think it was a smart move to at least give him some kind of a spot in the movie in order to be able to add him to the next installment. Actually i wonder if Hugh`s own schedule was the reason Wolverine had such a minor role.
I must say i was pleasantly surprised by Kevin Bacon`s apperance as the main villain. And i also think he did a phenomenal job. I really loved to hate him in the movie. Also Kevin Bacon is one of my favorite actors. He is not a AAA lister and maybe alot of people nowadas have forgotten about him. But i hold him dear to my heart.

So bottom line the new X-Men movie is well worth the money. Its entertaining, its fun  it has alot of action and a pretty powerfull story (Marvel wise i mean) so it will make any X-men fan out there happy. But also people who are just looking for a good sci-fi flick will not leave the cinema dissapointed.
Not to mention that the movie`s imdb  score is pretty good.
