X-Men: First Class

'X-Men: First Class' is an action, adventure Sci-Fi film with a ACB rating of M. The main characters are Charles Xavier, Erik Lensher/Magneto, Sebastian Shaw, Moira Mctaggert and Mystique.Played by James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, Rose Byrne and Jennifer Lawrence. I will hopefully during this review persuade you to watch this womderful film. 'X-Men: First class' which is a prequel to all previous 'X-Men' films has an interesting plot which will take you, the viewer on an interesting journey. Charles Xavier and his best friend Raven (Mystique) are mutants, mutants have only just been discovered by mortals and they fear mutants. Xavier and Raven try to recruit mutants to form an army to fight the mortals and in a twist of events they end up fighting another mutant group who despise humans and want mutants to rule.

The mutants within the film feature many interesting powers of which makes each of them unique, everyone has a favourite. You almost become envious of the mutants, craving powers like theirs. For example Mystique has a shape-shifting ability and can imitate any persons appearance she wants. Xavier can read minds which becomes quite useful to the bunch, allowing them to recruit more mutants for their mutant army by using a machine engineered by another mutant of which contains extreme intelligence as well as ape like body features. The other mutants refer to him as “Beast.”

The casting of the movie was A+. Personally I really loved Jennifer Lawrence’s portrayal of mystique previously played by Rebecca Romijn in previous X-Men films.Many other people were skeptical of the casting of Xavier but I quite enjoyed his performance and thought he played the roll quite well. This film is 100% worth watching whether you are a previous X-Men fanatic or are interest in the franchise. If you are, this movie is a good start. So grab a copy of the film, sit back, and grab some mutant friends for an awesome action packed experience. Bibliography: [] (For actors names)
