Review


Seeing X-Men: First Class is like seeing Batman Begins. A more serious, more bad-ass version of the movies that have come before. The movie begins with the flashback from Magneto's past seen in the first X-Men movie setting the pace for some serious ish to unfold. This movie captivates its audience and pretty much made me wish I was a mutant. The only negative I can find in this film is the actress playing Moira. Unfortunately, I watched Bridesmaids prior to this and the fact that she was in that as well messed with my emotions for a bit since I hated her in that movie lol. That aside, X-Men: First Class, awesome, go watch, go rent, go buy, go see.
