Review of X-Men: First Class (2011) by Taija H — 21 Nov 2015
Brings credibility back to the X-Men franchise thanks mainly to Michael Fassbender's excellent portrayal of a young Magneto. James McAvoy does a good job too as Xavier, but he and everyone else surrenders the screen as soon as Michael Fassbender steps in.
The chemistry and bond between the two characters drives the movie and although the story is going places already shown in later films of the series, it's still nice to see it all happen and done in a manner that it's still exciting and suspenseful.
This is the best installment since X-2. Sometimes taking a step back really is the way to move forward.
