X-Men: First Class Movie Review


X-Men: First Class is a total entertainment movie with the story explaining a lot about the past of a few of the key characters of first three movies (X-Men, X2, X-Men: The Lat Stand). But that’s not all; there is a whole lot more in the story than being just another prequel. There are new mutants with new mutations and another new villain.

Though the start of the movie is not very impressive with less action and thrill but it is worth waiting for the second half which is a treat not worth missing for the entertainment loving folks. The performances of all the lead actors i.e. James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Kevin Bacon are amazing and the action sequences are very gripping, a major reason for that is an excellent work done by the sound department in background score and sound mixing.

There is not much to criticize except the unnecessary stretching of the movie due to a couple of mutants who are not much related to the story but are simply there to provide entertainment and the clichéd subject of Mutants vs Mutants still unchanged since the first episode. Overall it is an entertaining watch and hence I rate it as follows:
·          Entertainment rating: 4
·          Critics rating: 3
