X-Men: First Class

Filed under: Film — rvchua @ 1:30 pm

I was completely uninterested with this film while it was still being filmed. But then after it was released, I kept hearing good reviews so I was looking forward to it. Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy are wonderful as Erik Lensherr and Charles Xavier, with a younger generation the movie feels new despite being set in the 1960s. I didn’t care much for Mystique, she felt like window dressing but the movie introduced how she and Magneto became close. I also liked that there were a lot of scenes of flying mutants, I didn’t think the last three movies had that. The best scene? Wolverine telling Xavier and Lensherr to fuck off when they try to recruit Wolverine. Most importantly, why do bad guys have the coolest action scenes?
