I love prequels and X-Men: First Class didn’t let me down. The creation of the X-Men team requires a focus on the characters involved and the reasons why, and this is where XMFC stands out above its earlier sequels. Mutant politics, personal drama, and good old fashioned supernatural action brings this movie home.
Loved everyone, but Kevin Bacon was da-Bomb as the evil Sebastian Shaw. James McAvoy also great as the young Charles Xavier.
Excellent blend of character drama and action flick!
Regarding BrianSez’s Review
“Kevin Bacon was da-Bomb.” Indeed.
