I am unashamedly a superhero fan and am giddy that we have yet another X-Men instalment. Although the last few movies (X-Men: The Last Stand and X-Men Origins: Wolverine) left much to be desired, all is forgiven with the fifth chapter, X-Men: First Class.The storyline charts the beginning of our heroes in black leather jumpsuits. It is the 1960s – the time of the Cuban missile crisis, the Cold War and JFK. Charles Xavier, aka Professor X, and Erik Lensherr, aka Magneto, are friends, but we soon see how their bromance begins to disintegrate into an all-out war between mutants.
Superbly acted and with special effects that will leave you gaping for more, it seems the X-Men have clawed themselves back into the land of Hit Movies.
Rating: 4 outta 5.
