X-Men: First Class review
Apr. 2nd, 2016 05:31 pm15 X-Men: First Class
Prequel to the X-Men trilogy and 5th film overall in the X-Men Cinematic Universe. As the world hurtles towards the Cuban Missile Crisis, various factions of mutants find themselves on opposite sides. One is exacerbating the tensions between the United States and the Soviets, while another, lead by Charles Xavier, wants to prevent nuclear war. There are many different aspects and plotlines to this film. The faction of mutants lead by Sebastian Shaw, provide an easily believable threat as he easily manipulates the superpowers.
Xavier's search for other mutants with the help of the CIA, is also well written (including one memorable scene). The climax of the film is also well written. The way that the new X-men respond to the problems that come up is well presented. 8.5/10.
