X-Men First Class- A Quick Review

The problems I had before are still the same problems but if there was something this movie showed is that this movie really isn’t about the students, its about the fathers of the mutant movements. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this movie, to be honest X-Men United was not so good a little too cartoony and compared to the other two just seemed kind of lacking and that made me afraid to watch this movie. The is a great movie but more than the acting the struggle between friends and ideals portrayed is amazing. What would you choose if you had to choose between a friend that’s as close as a brother and an ideal that could make the world a better place?

There is another dimension to this movie as well and that’s the struggle that every human has to endure and that is shown in two characters beast and mystique. These end up being the only two characters that hate their appearance which is something everyone goes through at some time or another and just a general need for acceptance. The X-Men have always been about social issues in our society and acceptance is a huge issue that affects all generations. I guess the X-Men just speaks to those of us that are “different.”

It was so cool to see the origins of Professor X and Erik Lensherr aka Magneto. When these two origins stories meet and the two of them become friends this movie takes a turn for the epic. The dynamic between these two is awesome and to know how good of friends they were is eye opening when they are also each others greatest enemies. Just might be one of the top 2 superhero movies EVER.

 This movie gets 5 Smelly Fingers and a “GO SEE THIS MOVIE ASAP!!!!!!!!”
