Review of X-Men: First Class (2011) by Conni B — 27 Aug 2014

Rating: B+.

I was so close to giving this 4.5/5. It is just cut so close. I really would give it 4.25 if I could but I can't. So when I give this 4/5, I really mean in between that and 4.5/5. Anyway, though, First Class is a great prequel. I am one of the few that thought Origins Wolverine was pretty cool, so I assume it is hard to make yet another good prequel, but this one nails it. The action sequences are well-structured, the cast is superb, and it is simply a very well-made superhero movie. One of the best in the franchise and is definitely worth taking a look at if you haven't seen it yet.
