First Class indeed

X-Men: First Class

The fifth installment of the X-Men film series, X-Men first class moves away from the original four films and becomes a universe of it's own. This super hero film goes back to the Cold War era and shows the origins of Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lanshier (Michael Fassbender) and the bond they shared. Easily the best super hero film of 2011 and in my opinion the best movie of the summer.
X-Men: First Class begins by showing the very different pasts of Erik and Charles. Erik was a young Jewish boy captured by Nazis and was forced to watch his mother gunned down in front of him. Charles on the other had was a rich kid in a bib house who soon discovered a young girl named Raven who like both him and Erik was special. As they grew up Charles furthered his study in genetic mutations and became a proffessor, while Erik became a Nazi hunter and was in search of the man who killed his mother.
At the same time the government was in search of a criminal named Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) who had formed a team of mutants, and his plan was to wipe out all human life on the planet leaving mutants free to rule. The governemt eventually recruits Erik and Charles and they form a team of mutants to fight Shaw's, and the X-Men are born.
The thing that truly made this film great was the friendship of the characters Charles and Erik, and the deep past that they shared. And the film would have been nothing without the preformances of James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender. I reccomend X-Men to anyone who wants to watch a good super hero movie. I give X-men: First Class an 8.9 out of 10.
