MOVIE REVIEW OF X-MEN FIRST CLASS

OK let’s get a few things straight if you’re comic book savvy

you will know that this movie is filled with inaccuracies. I knew this from

watching a few trailers. Also this movie will not line up with the 3 previous

X-men movies or the end of X-men origins wolverine (That scene where old

Xavier’s picks up kid Cyclops & Emma frost, yeah it will have no bearing on

this movie at all). Treat this movie as a new number 1 or an alternate

universe.

Ok let’s begin

My original expectation for this movie was 4 out of 10 to be

honest.

After seeing the film I was actually quite pleased with the

results. Why? You may ask after I assumed it would be crap. Well the answer is

simple The makers of this X-men film made sure to account for the major scenes

that fans always imagined seeing. SPOILER ALERT

  • Young Magneto (He is Jewish for those who did not know) during his life in a concentration camp & how his powers first manifested.
  • The formation of the friendship between Professor X & Magneto & the inevitable destruction of it.
  • The original premise that was associated with the original comic(The fact that human kind will always be afraid of change & the challenges mutant kind faces)
  • & finally the epic scene of how Charles Xavier becomes paralyzed.
  • & Emma Frost in her sexy outfit (O was that just me.LOL)

Overall the performances of James McAvoy as Xavier &

Michael Fassbender as Magneto were phenomenal. You will have to see it to

believe it & I can guarantee that if you don’t like this movie overall you

won’t be able to say you did not enjoy their performances.

I highly recommend people to see this movie because it

honestly felt very real, as if all that happened in this movie would happen in

real life. This movie will eventually span into a new X-men universe/storyline,

which I think will bear good stuff. I am really psyched because there is

already a sequel in the works for this movie. I give this movie a surprising 8.5

out of 10

P.S. You will laugh your ass off when you see the cameo of

everyone’s favorite clawed mutant.

P.S.S. Don’t stay after the credits there is no after scene.

I little disappointed but its whatever.
