X-Men: First Class

Play by Play

X-Men First Class was one of the most explosive and entertaining flicks of this past summer.  The fifth installment in the X-Men movie franchise was with out a doubt the best one yet.  With better actors and a stronger plot helps breathe new life into the X-Men franchise.  The movie takes a different angle then the previous ones as the audience gets to see the beginning of the group of mutants called the X-Men and the start of the relationship between Professor X and Magneto.  When the U.S. is in its toughest time during the Cold War with the Soviet Union, they call on the newly discovered Mutants to form a team led by Magneto and Professor X to help the U.S. out.  The movie helps show you how Professor X and Magneto got there start and how there once friendship has now turned into constant fights against each other in the other movies.  The movie has jaw dropping action scenes that will have you at the edge of your seat.  By the end of the movie you will not only have a new view of Magneto but you will be standing up cheering for him. 

My Call

X-Men First Class hit the shelves last week and my suggestion for X-Men and Superhero fans is to run to the local movie store and snag your copy of it to watch.
