I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

X-Men: First Class is a fun mix of actual historical events with a comic book storyline. There are some bothersome inconsistencies between this film and the other four, and it was fairly long, but overall it was an entertaining ride with good performances and some fantastic visual effects.

'X-men First Class (2011)' stripped the series back a little, arguably closer to its roots, to focus on character development rather than overt spectacle and is all the better for it. Its new cast is great as the young characters, especially McAvoy and Fassbender who - along with a nuanced and layered script - convincingly portray the origins of their respectful yet tumultuous relationship. It doesn't quite capture the spirit of the original, but has a lot more life in its presentation and provided a successful revitalisation to a franchise that was running out of steam. Like its predecessors, it is at its best when pondering the thematic quandries at the heart of its core concepts but it also has a few stand-out set-pieces and some nice dark, yet understated, brutality (the concentration camp makes a return). It isn't wholly necessary but the prequel idea wasn't entirely played out at this point and this feature does a lot with the origins of interesting characters, unlike 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)' before it, and started the series in a new, and initially fresh, direction. 8/10

As comic book reboot movies go, this is pretty good. It's got a really good cast, particularly Fassbender and McAvoy, and a nice sleek retro look. Kevin Bacon makes a great villain. But ... we're really looking at a movie that's about 75% uninteresting filler characters and keeps revisiting themes that the previous trilogy kinda drove into the ground. It does it's job, but it really isn't memorable.

Narrating the origin story of the many significant characters in the X-Men universe & set in the 1960s during the Cuban missile crisis which put the entire world on the verge of a nuclear Armageddon, X- Men: First Class mainly concerns the close friendship between Charles Xavier & Erik Lehnsherr before they turned into archenemies and adopted the names of Professor X & Magneto, respectively.Director Matthew Vaughn brings an entirely fresh approach & style in almost all filmmaking departments here and succeeds in balancing its quality action with impressive storytelling without ever letting down the entertainment factor. Tightly edited from start to finish, the film looks absolutely fantastic, thanks to its vibrant cinematography, state-of-the-art visual effects & sensational score.Coming to the performances, the entire cast is pretty well-rounded & each member is pretty convincing in their given roles. James McAvoy plays Charles Xavier aka Professor X while Michael Fassbender is in as Erik Lehnsherr aka Magneto, and the performance as well as chemistry between these two is what makes this film work so wonderfully along with the fine input coming from the rest of its supporting cast.On an overall scale, benefiting greatly from its brilliant direction, strong script, magnetic performances from McAvoy & Fassbender, terrific visual effects, tight editing & a marvelous score, X-Men: First Class comes out as a highly potent package that guarantees a cinematic experience which is surely going to entertain & astonish its viewers in more ways than one.
