Review - X-Men: First Class

Either I have been living under a rock or there was not a whole lot of advertising going on for this film, because I was surprised to see there was a new X-Men movie being released. It does fit Marvels current profile though, which has been revamping a few of their movie franchises lately, such as the upcoming 2012 release of "The Amazing Spider-Man". I enjoyed both  "X-Men" and "X2", but was not impressed with the crappy third act. They bounced back though with "Origins: Wolverine" and this latest installment is following that same route and taking us back to the beginning when Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr became Professor X and Magneto respectively. There are many new characters in this film. Most of them will be familiar, especially to the die hards, but not necessarily to the general public. The main roles were all extremely well cast, with a shout out going to Kevin Bacon for playing Sebastien Shaw, and the entire film was done with taste. Comic book fans can put down there weapons and rest easy with this one.
